We study the high temperature (or small inverse temperature $\beta$) expansion of the free energy of double scaled SYK model. We find that this expansion is a convergent series with a finite radius of convergence. It turns out that the…
We determine completely the Tracy-Widom distribution for Dyson's \beta-ensemble with \beta=6. The problem of the Tracy-Widom distribution of \beta-ensemble for general \beta>0 has been reduced to find out a bounded solution of the…
The present work extends the well-known thermodynamic relation $C=\beta ^{2}< \delta {E^{2}}>$ for the canonical ensemble. We start from the general situation of the thermodynamic equilibrium between a large but finite system of interest…
We consider the mixed Dirichlet-conormal problem for the heat equation on cylindrical domains with a bounded and Lipschitz base $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and a time-dependent separation $\Lambda$. Under certain mild regularity…
Using a Coulomb gas approach, we compute the generating function of the covariances of power traces for one-cut $\beta$-ensembles of random matrices in the limit of large matrix size. This formula depends only on the support of the spectral…
This article is devoted to the asymptotic expansion of the generalized Harish Chandra-Itzykson-Zuber matrix integral for non-unitary symmetries characterized by a parameter beta(as usual beta =1,2 and 4 correspond to the orthogonal, unitary…
We establish a new $W^{1,2\frac{n-1}{n-2}}$ estimate for the extremal solution of $-\Delta u=\lambda f(u)$ in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, which is convex, for arbitrary positive and increasing nonlinearities $f\in…
The non-commutativity of the position and momentum operators is formulated as an effective potential in classical phase space and expanded as a series of successive many-body terms, with the pair term being dominant. A non-linear partial…
For processes during which a macroscopic system exchanges no heat with its surroundings, the second law of thermodynamics places two lower bounds on the amount of work performed on the system: a weak bound, expressed in terms of a…
We derive an effective classical theory for real-time SU($N$) gauge theories at high temperature. By separating off and integrating out quantum fluctuations we obtain a 3D classical path integral over the initial fields and conjugate…
The partition function of the random energy model at inverse temperature $\beta$ is a sum of random exponentials $Z_N(\beta)=\sum_{k=1}^N \exp(\beta \sqrt{n} X_k)$, where $X_1,X_2,...$ are independent real standard normal random variables…
We show that the one-loop effective action at finite temperature for a scalar field with quartic interaction has the same renormalized expression as at zero temperature if written in terms of a certain classical field $\phi_c$, and if we…
Harnessing the abstract power of the celebrated result due to Borichev and Tomilov (Math.\ Ann.\ 347:455--478, 2010, no.\ 2), we study the energy decay in a one-dimensional coupled wave-heat-wave system. We obtain a sharp estimate for the…
The well-known Jarzynski equality, often written in the form $e^{-\beta\Delta F}=\langle e^{-\beta W}\rangle$, provides a non-equilibrium means to measure the free energy difference $\Delta F$ of a system at the same inverse temperature…
We study integrals of the form \begin{equation*} \int_{-1}^1(C_n^{(\lambda)}(x))^2(1-x)^\alpha (1+x)^\beta\, dx, \end{equation*} where $C_n^{(\lambda)}$ denotes the Gegenbauer-polynomial of index $\lambda>0$ and $\alpha,\beta>-1$. We give…
The $\beta$-functions of O(N) and U(N) invariant Grosse-Wulkenhaar models are computed at one loop using the matrix basis. In particular, for ``parallel interactions", the model is proved asymptotically free in the UV limit for $N >1$, and…
We study the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of a single particle with two available energy levels, in contact with a classical (Maxwell-Boltzmann) or quantum (Bose-Einstein) heat bath. The particle can undergo transitions between the levels…
