Boltzmann provided a scenario to explain why individual macroscopic systems composed of a large number $N$ of microscopic constituents are inevitably (i.e., with overwhelming probability) observed to approach a unique macroscopic state of…
The Blume-Capel model with infinite-range interactions presents analytical solutions in both canonical and microcanonical ensembles and therefore, its phase diagram is known in both ensembles. This model exhibits nonequivalent solutions and…
We introduce a generalized $d$-dimensional Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) model in presence of long-range interactions, and perform a first-principle study of its chaos for $d=1,2,3$ through large-scale numerical simulations. The nonlinear…
After a brief comprehensive review of old and new results on the well known Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) conservative system of $N$ nonlinearly coupled oscillators, we present a compact linear mode representation of the Hamiltonian of the FPU…
Motivated by studying stochastic systems with non-Gaussian L\'evy noise, spectral properties for a type of linear cocycles are considered. These linear cocycles have countable jump discontinuities in time. A multiplicative ergodic theorem…
This is partly a survey article for Constructive Approximation's Special Issue on Approximation and Statistical Physics. It reviews results of B. Shiffman-S.Zelditch, R. Berman. S. Boucksom, D. Witt-Nystrom, T. Bloom, O. Zeitouni and others…
Ensemble inequivalence has been previously displayed only for long-range interacting systems with non-extensive energy. In order to perform the thermodynamic limit, such systems require an unphysical, so-called, Kac rescaling of the…
In the first part of our generalized ergodic theory we introduced Cantor-systems, when we managed to prove the generalized ergodic theorem 3.3. The first component of a Cantor-system is a group of the flow and its second component is a set…
Let $(\mathcal{M}^{3+1},g)$ be a real analytic, stationary and asymptotically flat spacetime with a non-empty ergoregion $\mathscr{E}$ and no future event horizon $\mathcal{H}^{+}$. On such spacetimes, Friedman provided a heuristic argument…
We study the equilibration properties of isolated ergodic quantum systems initially prepared in a cat state, i.e a macroscopic quantum superposition of states. Our main result consists in showing that, even though decoherence is at work in…
Due to the equivalence of the statistical ensembles thermostatic properties of physical systems with short-range interactions can be calculated in different ensembles leading to the same physics. In particular, the ensemble equivalence…
The equilibrium value of an observable defines a manifold in the phase space of an ergodic and equipartitioned many-body system. A typical trajectory pierces that manifold infinitely often as time goes to infinity. We use these piercings to…
The mathematical definitions of distinct concepts that are needed in building an ergodicity detection algorithm are introduced in a framework. This algorithmic framework is expressed in a discrete setting in an accessible manner for broader…
Ergodicity of random dynamical systems with a periodic measure is obtained on a Polish space. In the Markovian case, the idea of Poincar\'e sections is introduced. It is proved that if the periodic measure is PS-ergodic, then it is ergodic.…
Ergodic quantum many-body systems evolving under unitary time dynamics typically lose memory of their initial state via information scrambling. Here we consider a paradigmatic translationally invariant many-body Hamiltonian of interacting…
We show that a class of robustly transitive diffeomorphisms originally described by Ma\~{n}\'{e} are intrinsically ergodic. More precisely we obtain an open set of diffeomorphisms which fail to be uniformly hyperbolic, but nevertheless have…
This undergraduate thesis is concerned with developing the tools of differential geometry and semiclassical analysis needed to understand the the quantum ergodicity theorem of Schnirelman (1974), Zelditch (1987), and Colin de Verdi\`ere…
Classical spin systems with nonadditive long-range interactions are studied in the microcanonical ensemble. It is expected that the entropy of such a system is identical to that of the corresponding mean-field model, which is called…
We prove a von Neumann type ergodic theorem for averages of unitary operators arising from the Furstenberg-Poisson boundary representation (the quasi-regular representation) of any lattice in a non-compact connected semisimple Lie group…
It has recently been shown, by application of statistical mechanical methods to determine the canonical ensemble governing the equilibrium distribution of operator initial values, that complex quantum field theory can emerge as a…
