We study a stochastic Hamiltonian system of $N$ particles with many particles interacting through a potential whose range is large in comparison with the typical distance between neighbouring particles. It is shown that the empirical…

We propose a novel approach to intrinsic decoherence without adding new assumptions to standard quantum mechanics. We generalize the Liouville equation just by requiring the dynamical semigroup property of time evolution and dropping the…

For Liouville equations with singular sources, the interpretation of the equation and its impact are most significant if the singular sources are quantized: the strength of each Dirac mass is a mutliple of $4\pi$. However the study of…

The Liouville theorem states that classical time evolution is an incompressible flow in phase space. We investigate two formulations of classical mechanics in which this property is manifested. First, the traditional Hamilton-Jacobi theory…

For a singular Liouville equation, it is plausible that a non-simple blowup phenomenon occurs around a quantized singular pole. The presence of complex blowup profiles of bubbling solutions presents substantial challenges in applications.…

Timelike Liouville theory admits the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ as a real saddle point, about which quantum fluctuations can occur. An issue occurs when computing the expectation values of specific types of quantities, like the distance…

In this paper, we construct a counterexample to the Liouville property of some nonlocal reaction-diffusion equations of the form$$ \int\_{\mathbb{R}^N\setminus K} J(x-y)\,( u(y)-u(x) )\mathrm{d}y+f(u(x))=0, \quad x\in\R^N\setminus K,$$where…

Models of cosmological scalar fields often feature "attractor solutions" to which the system evolves for a wide range of initial conditions. There is some tension between this well-known fact and another well-known fact: Liouville's theorem…

We present the so-called Liouville-Neumann (LN) approach to nonequilibrium quantum fields. The LN approach unifies the functional Schr\"{o}dinger equation and the LN equation for time-independent or time-dependent quantum systems and for…
