The theoretical dispersion curves $n(\omega)$ (refractive index versus frequency) of ionic crystals in the infrared domain are expressed, within the Green--Kubo theory, in terms of a time correlation function involving the motion of the…
We show that the standard Fermi--Pasta--Ulam system, with a suitable choice for the interparticle potential, constitutes a model for glasses, and indeed an extremely simple and manageable one. Indeed, it allows one to describe the landscape…
Different methods to extract the temperature and density in heavy ion collisions are compared using a statistical model tailored to reproduce many experimental features at low excitation energy. The model assumes a sequential decay of an…
We study the Intermediate Scattering Function (ISF) of the strongly-nonlinear Fermi-Pasta Ulam Model at thermal equilibrium, using both numerical and analytical methods. From the molecular dynamics simulations we distinguish two limit…
We study the quantum dynamics of an ion confined in a radiofrequency trap in interaction with either a Bose or spin-polarized Fermi gas. To this end, we derive quantum optical master equations in the limit of weak coupling and the…
Fermi Dirac free electron model is applied to very dense plasmas with medium or low temperatures. While Boltzmann statistics can lead to very high densities of ionized electrons, only at very high temperatures, Fermi Dirac statistics can…
We briefly review the Thomas-Fermi statistical model of atoms in the classical non-relativistic formulation and in the generalised finite-nucleus relativistic formulation. We then discuss the classical generalisation of the model to finite…
We study the statistics and short-times dynamics of the classical and the quantum Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chain in thermal equilibrium. We analyze the distributions of single-particle configurations by integrating out the rest of the system. At…

Analysis of thermal dust emission spectra for dust mineralogy and physical grain properties depends on laboratory-measured or calculated comparison spectra. Often, the agreement between these two kinds of spectra is not satisfactory because…
Heat can flow from cold to hot at any phase separation. Therefore Lynden-Bell's gravo-thermal catastrophe must be reconsidered. The original objects of Thermodynamics, the separation of phases at first order phase transitions, like boiling…
We propose an experimental scheme to probe the quantum statistics of two identical particles. The transition between the quantum and classical statistics of two identical particles is described by the particles having identical multiple…
It is known that in the theory of light scalar fields during inflation, correlation functions suffer from infrared (IR) divergences or large IR loop corrections, leading to the breakdown of perturbation theory. In order to understand the…
The Fermi-Pasta-Ulam $\alpha$-model of harmonic oscillators with cubic anharmonic interactions is studied from a statistical mechanical point of view. Systems of N= 32 to 128 oscillators appear to be large enough to suggest statistical…
The optical properties of plasmas with high densities and medium temperatures are analyzed by the use of a free electron model with Fermi-Dirac statistics. For the present collisional plasma the frequency of electron-ion collision is very…
In Statistical Mechanics, Tsallis distributions were apparently conceived in connection with systems presenting long--range interactions. In fact, they were observed in numerical computations for models of such a type, as occurring in the…
We study the thermal evolution of a highly spin-imbalanced, homogeneous Fermi gas with unitarity limited interactions, from a Fermi liquid of polarons at low temperatures to a classical Boltzmann gas at high temperatures. Radio-frequency…
Classical response functions have shown considerable promise in computational 2D IR modeling; however, a simple diagrammatic description, analogous to that for open quantum systems, has been lacking. While a promising diagrammatic approach…
This paper shows by computer simulations that some crystalline systems have curves in their thermodynamic phase diagrams, so-called isomorphs, along which structure and dynamics in reduced units are invariant to a good approximation. The…
We study increasing subsequences (IS) for an ensemble of sequences given by permutation of numbers {1,2,...,n}. We consider a Boltzmann ensemble at temperature T. Thus each IS appears with the corresponding Boltzmann probability where the…
