Lyapunov exponents are indicators for the chaotic properties of a classical dynamical system. They are most naturally defined in terms of the time evolution of a set of so-called covariant vectors, co-moving with the linearized flow in…
Simple dynamical systems -- with a small number of degrees of freedom -- can behave in a complex manner due to the presence of chaos. Such systems are most often (idealized) limiting cases of more realistic situations. Isolating a small…
We discuss relaxation in bosonic and fermionic many-particle systems. For integrable systems, the time evolution can cause a dephasing effect, leading for finite subsystems to certain steady states. We give an explicit derivation of those…
Entropy generation in quantum sytems is tied to the existence of a nonclassical environment (heat bath or other) with which the system interacts. The continuous `measuring' of the open system by its environment induces decoherence of its…
Negative kinetic energies correspond to ghost degrees of freedom, which are potentially of relevance for cosmology, quantum gravity, and high energy physics. We present a novel wide class of stable mechanical systems where a positive energy…

Statistical behavior of a classical $\phi ^{4}$ Hamiltonian lattice is investigated from microscopic dynamics. The largest Lyapunov exponent and entropies are considered for manifesting chaos and equipartition behaviors of the system. It is…
