We consider an atomistic model defined through an interaction field satisfying a variational principle, and can therefore be considered a toy model of (orbital free) density functional theory. We investigate atomistic-to-continuum coupling…
By Fagin's Theorem, NP contains precisely those problems that can be described by formulas starting with an existential second-order quantifier, followed by only first-order quantifiers (ESO formulas). Subsequent research refined this…
In a locally $\lambda$-presentable category, with $\lambda$ a regular cardinal, classes of objects that are injective with respect to a family of morphisms whose domains and codomains are $\lambda$-presentable, are known to be characterized…
There are two ways to turn a categorical model for pure quantum theory into one for mixed quantum theory, both resulting in a category of completely positive maps. One has quantum systems as objects, whereas the other also allows classical…
Let $(\mathcal{A}, G, \alpha)$ be a groupoid dynamical system. We show that if $G$ is assumed to be measurewise amenable and the section algebra $A = \Gamma_0(G^{(0)}, \mathcal{A})$ is nuclear, then the associated groupoid crossed product…
Affine variables, which have the virtue of preserving the positive-definite character of matrix-like objects, have been suggested as replacements for the canonical variables of standard quantization schemes, especially in the context of…
The critical value of the atom-field coupling strength for a finite number of atoms is deter- mined by means of both, semiclassical and exact solutions. In the semiclassical approach we use a variational procedure with coherent and…
Let R be a differential domain finitely generated over a differential field, F, with field of constants, C, of characteristic 0. Let E be the quotient field of R. The paper investigates necessary and sufficient conditions on R's…
Johnson's characterization of amenable groups states that a discrete group $\Gamma$ is amenable if and only if $H_b^{n \geq 1}(\Gamma; V) = 0$ for all dual normed $\mathbb{R}[\Gamma]$-modules V. In this paper, we extend the previous result…
In this article, we introduce a generalization of the concept of graded $r$-ideals in graded commutative rings with nonzero unity. Let $G$ be a group, $R$ be a $G$-graded commutative ring with nonzero unity and $GI(R)$ be the set of all…
Let P be a poset, O(P) the order polytope of P and C(P) the chain polytope of P. In this paper, we study the canonical ideal of the Ehrhart ring K[C(P)] of C(P) over a field K and characterize the level (resp. anticanonical level) property…
It is shown that the Coulomb many-particle Hamiltonians are always factorized. This fact can be used to obtain the closed analytical formula(s) for the bound state spectra of an arbitrary many-particle Coulomb system. For few- and…
The following is a translation of the paper by Walther Gerlach and Otto Stern that reported the first evidence for the quantisation of atoms in a magnetic field. The atoms have quantum states corresponding to a limited number of possible…
Atoms of a (regular) language $L$ were introduced by Brzozowski and Tamm in 2011 as intersections of complemented and uncomplemented quotients of $L$. They derived tight upper bounds on the complexity of atoms in 2013. In 2014, Brzozowski…
We introduce map-dependent quantum characteristic functions constructed from the normalized Choi operator of quantum dynamical maps. We prove a Bochner--Choi positivity theorem establishing that the positive-type condition of the associated…
Applying a linearization theorem due to J. Mujica, we study the ideals of bounded holomorphic mappings $\mathcal{H}^\infty\circ\mathcal{I}$ generated by composition with an operator ideal $\mathcal{I}$. The bounded-holomorphic dual ideal of…
A collective description of density matrix is presented for identical multi-level atoms, which are either excited initially, driven coherently or pumped incoherently. The density matrix is defined as expectation value of projection or…
The definition of the fundamental quantity, the chemical potential, is badly confused in the literature: there are at least three distinct definitions in various books and papers. While they all give the same result in the thermodynamic…
This chapter begins with pure aluminium and a discussion of the form of the crystal structure and different unit cells that can be used to describe the crystal structure. Measurements of the face-centred cubic lattice parameter and thermal…
Under the assumption that every material object can ultimately be described by quantum theory, we ask how a probe system evolves in a device prepared and kept in a superposition state of values of its classical parameter. We find that,…
