Effective Hamiltonians are often used in quantum physics, both in time dependent and time independent contexts. Analogies are drawn between the two usages, the discussion framed particularly for the geometric phase of a time-dependent…
Using the dynamical mean-field theory, we calculate the effective electron mass in the Hubbard model on a semi-infinite lattice. At the surface the effective mass is strongly enhanced. Near half-filling this gives rise to a…

We study the stationary dynamics of an active interacting Brownian particle system. We measure the violations of the fluctuation dissipation theorem, and the corresponding effective temperature, in a locally resolved way. Quite naturally,…
We propose a theory based on simple physical arguments that describes a non equilibrium steady-state by a temperature-like parameter (an "effective temperature"). We show how one can predict the effective temperature as a function of the…
The Markov property entails the conditional independence structure inherent in Gibbs distributions for general classical Hamiltonians, a feature that plays a crucial role in inference, mixing time analysis, and algorithm design. However,…
Recently, we have suggested some semi-quantitative Hamiltonian for an electron in a hydrogen atom in a weak gravitational field, which takes into account quantum effects of electron motion in the atom. We have shown that this Hamiltonian…
This review presents the effective temperature notion as defined from the deviations from the equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation theorem in out of equilibrium systems with slow dynamics. The thermodynamic meaning of this quantity is…
We upper- and lower-bound the optimal precision with which one can estimate an unknown Hamiltonian parameter via measurements of Gibbs thermal states with a known temperature. The bounds depend on the uncertainty in the Hamiltonian term…
This article considers a class of disordered mean-field combinatorial optimization problems. We focus on the Gibbs measure, where the inverse temperature does not vary with the size of the graph and the edge weights are sampled from a…
