This paper explores the phase space structures characterising transport for a double-well van der Waals potential surface. Trajectories are classified as inter-well, intra-well, and escaping-from-a-well to define different dynamical fates.…

In a thermal field theory, the cumulants of the momentum distribution can be extracted from the dependence of the Euclidean path integral on a shift in the fields built into the temporal boundary condition. When combined with the Ward…
