Let $\overline{p}(n)$ denote the overpartition function, and for $j\in \mathbb{N}$, $\Delta^r_j$ denote the $r$-fold applications of the shifted difference operator $\Delta_j$ defined by $\Delta_j(a)(n):=a(n)-a(n-j)$. The main goal of this…
We derive a systematic approach to the thermodynamics of quantum systems based on the underlying symmetry groups. We show that the entropy of a system can be described in terms of group-theoretical quantities that are largely independent of…
In this paper, we use the Lambert series generating function for Euler's totient function to introduce a new identity for the number of $1$'s in the partitions of $n$. A new expansion for Euler's partition function $p(n)$ is derived in this…
The Hardy-Ramanujan formula for the number of integer partitions of $n$ is one of the most popular results in partition theory. While the unabridged final formula has been celebrated as reflecting the genius of its authors, it has become…
Let $\mathcal{A}=\left(a_i\right)_{i=1}^\infty$ be a weakly increasing sequence of positive integers and let $k$ be a fixed positive integer. For an arbitrary integer $n$, the restricted partition $p_\mathcal{A}(n,k)$ enumerates all the…
We develop a calculus that gives an elementary approach to enumerate partition-like objects using an infinite upper-triangular number-theoretic matrix. We call this matrix the Partition-Frequency Enumeration (PFE) matrix. This matrix…
In this expository paper we summarize the connection between random partitions and 4-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories discovered in hep-th/0306238. There is also a brief section about how this extends to 3-dimensional partitions…
We propose a simple estimator that allows to calculate the absolute value of a system's partition function from a finite sampling of its canonical ensemble. The estimator utilizes a volume correction term to compensate the effect that the…
The apparent thermalization of the particles produced in hadronic collisions can be obtained by quantum entanglement of the partons of the initial state once a fast hard collision is produced. The scale of the hard collision is related to…
For $n \in \mathbb{N}$ let $\Pi[n]$ denote the set of partitions of $n$, i.e., the set of positive integer tuples $(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_k)$ such that $x_1 \geq x_2 \geq \cdots \geq x_k$ and $x_1 + x_2 + \cdots + x_k = n$. Fixing…
Von Neumann entropy rate for open quantum systems is, in general, written in terms of entropy production and entropy flow rates, encompassing the second law of thermodynamics. When the open-quantum-system evolution corresponds to a quantum…
In this paper, we obtain upper and lower bounds for the partition function $p(n)$ by using an elementary geometric inequality in Euclidean space, and we extend the method to generalizations of the partition function.
We consider random integer partitions $\lambda$ that follow the Poissonized Plancherel measure of parameter $t^2$. Using Riemann$-$Hilbert techniques, we establish the asymptotics of the multiplicative averages $$Q(t,s)=\mathbb{E} \left[…
We derive the dominant asymptotic form and the order of the correction terms of the finite-perimeter partition function of self-avoiding polygons on the square lattice, which are weighted according to their area A as q^A, in the inflated…
Paul Erd\H{o}s posed a problem on the asymptotic estimation of decomposing 1 into a sum of infinitely many unit fractions in \cite{Erd80}. We point out that this problem can be solved in the same way as the finite case, as shown in…
This paper develops a method to carry out the large-$N$ asymptotic analysis of a class of $N$-dimensional integrals arising in the context of the so-called quantum separation of variables method. We push further ideas developed in the…
We present a systematic study of the nested sampling algorithm based on the example of the Potts model. This model, which exhibits a first order phase transition for $q>4$, exemplifies a generic numerical challenge in statistical physics:…
We provide an exact expression of the moment of the partition function for random energy models of finite system size, generalizing an earlier expression for a grand canonical version of the discrete random energy model presented by the…
Probabilistic graphical models are a key tool in machine learning applications. Computing the partition function, i.e., normalizing constant, is a fundamental task of statistical inference but it is generally computationally intractable,…
The division by N! in the expression of statistical entropy is usually justified to students by the statement that classical particles should be counted as indistinguishable. Sometimes, quantum indistinguishability is invoked to explain it.…
