We consider general hamiltonian systems with quadratic interaction potential and $N<\infty$ degrees of freedom, only $m$ of which have contact with external world, that is subjected to damping and random stationary external forces. We show…
It has recently been shown that small quantum subsystems generically equilibrate, in the sense that they spend most of the time close to a fixed equilibrium state. This relies on just two assumptions: that the state is spread over many…
We consider a stochastic $N$-particle model for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann evolution and prove its convergence to the associated Boltzmann equation when $N\to \infty$. For any time $T>0$ we bound the distance between the empirical…
In this thesis, I go through the well-known solutions to the one and two-particle systems trapped in a quantum harmonic oscillator and then continue to the three, four and many-body quantum systems. This is done by developing new analytical…
An exact correspondence is established between a $N$-body classical interacting system and a $N-1$-body quantum system with respect to the partition function. The resulting quantum-potential is a $N-1$-body one. Inversely the Kelbg…
We develop an approximate second quantization method for describing the many-particle systems in the presence of bound states of particles at low energies (the kinetic energy of particles is small in comparison to the binding energy of…
This paper deals with the long time behavior of solutions to the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation. The interactions considered are the so-called (non cut-off and non mollified) hard potentials. We prove an exponential in time…
We briefly summarize the most relevant steps in the search of rigorous results about the properties of quantum systems made of three bosons interacting with zero-range forces. We also describe recent attempts to solve the unboundedness…
We discuss the problem of constructing self-adjoint and lower bounded Hamiltonians for a system of $n>2$ non-relativistic quantum particles in dimension three with contact (or zero-range or $\delta$) interactions. Such interactions are…
Proceeding from the main principles of the non-unitary quantum theory of relativistic bi-Hamiltonian systems, a system of Lagrangian fields characterized by a certain dispersion law (mass spectrum of particles), interactions between them…
We study the {\it quasi-classical limit} of a quantum system composed of finitely many non-relativistic particles coupled to a quantized field in Nelson-type models. We prove that, as the field becomes classical and the corresponding…
Three paradigms commonly used in classical, pre-quantum physics to describe particles (that is: the material point, the test-particle and the diluted particle (droplet model)) can be identified as limit-cases of a quantum regime in which…
We study the evolution of a many-particle system whose wave function obeys the N-body Schroedinger equation under Bose symmetry. The system Hamiltonian describes pairwise particle interactions in the absence of an external potential. We…
One of the few exact results for the description of the time-evolution of an inhomogeneous, interacting many-particle system is given by the Harmonic Potential Theorem (HPT). The relevance of this theorem is that it sets a tight constraint…
We provide a statistical and correlational analysis of the spatial and energetic properties of equilibrium configurations of a few-body system of two to eight equally charged classical particles that are confined on a one-dimensional…
In a previous paper, we have developed a general theory of thermodynamic limits. We apply it here to three different Coulomb quantum systems, for which we prove the convergence of the free energy per unit volume. The first system is the…
We study metastability for symbolic dynamic. We prove that for a global system given by two independent sub-systems linked by a hole, and for a Lipschitz continuous potential, the global equilibrium state converges, as the hole shrinks, to…
A simplified relativistic kinetic theory for gases with internal degrees of freedom, based on a BGK-type collision term, is considered. First the Boltzmann equation is rewritten in tetrad form and then thermal coefficients are determined to…
It is shown that the phenomenon of irreversibility in many-body and few-body systems can be explained and described within the framework of the concept of direct (not instantaneous) interaction of particles without using probabilistic…
Understanding the mechanisms responsible for the equilibration of isolated quantum many-body systems is a long-standing open problem. In this work we obtain a statistical relationship between the equilibration properties of Hamiltonians and…
