We review a virial-type estimate which bounds the strength of interaction for a gas of $N$ hard spheres (billiard balls) dispersing into Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$. This type of estimate has been known for decades in the context of…

The available virial coefficients for the 2D hard disks model are transformed into a matrix representation of the thermodynamic potentials, which allows for an accurate description of the whole fluid phase, up to the phase transition. We…
An equation of state of the hard sphere fluid which is not analytical at the freezing density is proposed and tested. The nonanalytical term is based on the the classical nucleation theory and is able to capture the observed ``anomalous…
Exact results are given for the fourth virial coefficient of hard spheres in even dimensions up through 12. The fifth and sixth virial coefficients are numerically computed for dimensions 2 through 50 and it is found that the sixth virial…

The recent theoretical prediction by Maimbourg and Kurchan [arXiv:1603.05023] that for regular pair-potential systems the virial potential-energy correlation coefficient increases towards unity as the dimension $d$ goes to infinity is…
A new closed virial equation of state of hard-sphere fluids is proposed which reproduces the calculated or estimated values of the first sixteen virial coefficients at the same time as giving very good accuracy when compared with computer…
Virial expansions are the series in powers of density assumed to be small. However, the equations of state require to consider finite densities for which virial expansions, as a rule, diverge. In order to extrapolate a virial expansion to…
We present new molecular dynamics results for the pressure of the pure hard disk fluid up to the hexatic transition (about reduced density 0.9). The data combined with the known virial coefficients (up to $B_{10}$) are used to build an…
Although many equations of state of hard-disk fluids have been proposed, none is capable of reproducing the currently calculated or estimated values of the first eighteen virial coefficients at the same time as giving very good accuracy…
We study the convergence of cluster and virial expansions for systems of particles subject to positive two-body interactions. Our results strengthen and generalize existing lower bounds on the radii of convergence and on the value of the…
Despite the fact that more that more than 30 analytical expressions for the equation of state of hard-disk fluids have been proposed in the literature, none of them is capable of reproducing the currently accepted numeric or estimated…
An equation of state for a multicomponent mixture of non-additive hard spheres in $d$ dimensions is proposed. It yields a rather simple density dependence and constitutes a natural extension of the equation of state for additive hard…
We use the virial expansion to investigate the behavior of the two-component, attractive Fermi gas in the high-temperature limit, where the system smoothly evolves from weakly attractive fermions to weakly repulsive bosonic dimers as the…

The problem of demixing in a binary fluid mixture of highly asymmetric additive hard spheres is revisited. A comparison is presented between the results derived previously using truncated virial expansions for three finite size ratios with…
