We consider bosonic random matrix partition functions at nonzero chemical potential and compare the chiral condensate, the baryon number density and the baryon number susceptibility to the result of the corresponding fermionic partition…
A remarkable feature of quantum theory is that particles with identical intrinsic properties must be treated as indistinguishable if the theory is to give valid predictions. In the quantum formalism, indistinguishability is expressed via…
We prove that the partition function for tripartite double-dimer configurations of a planar bipartite graph satisfies a recurrence related to the Desnanot-Jacobi identity from linear algebra. A similar identity for the dimer partition…
Lie-algebraic and quantum-algebraic techniques are used in the analysis of thermodynamic properties of molecules and solids. The local anharmonic effects are described by a Morse-like potential associated with the $su(2)$ algebra. A…
We examine a quantum Otto engine with a harmonic working medium consisting of two particles to explore the use of wave function symmetry as an accessible resource. It is shown that the bosonic system displays enhanced performance when…
Identical quantum particles exhibit only two types of statistics: bosonic and fermionic. Theoretically, this restriction is commonly established through the symmetrization postulate or (anti)commutation constraints imposed on the algebra of…
In this article we will derive a combinatorial formula for the partition function p(n). In the second part of the paper we will establish connection between partitions and q-binomial coefficients and give new interpretation for q-binomial…
Statistics of distinguishable particles has become relevant in systems of colloidal particles and in the context of applications of statistical mechanics to complex networks. When studying these type of systems with the standard textbook…
We point out that the phase transitions of the $d+1$ Gross-Neveu and $CP^{N-1}$ models at finite temperature and imaginary chemical potential can be mapped to transformations of Hubbard-like regular hexagonal to square lattice with the…
We study a model of quantum mechanical fermions with matrix-like index structure (with indices $N$ and $L$) and quartic interactions, recently introduced by Anninos and Silva. We compute the partition function exactly with $q$-deformed…
We study the relation between the partition function of a non--relativistic particle, in one spatial dimension, that describes the equilibrium fluctuations implicitly, and the partition function of the same system, deduced from the Langevin…
We compute the partition function of an anyon-like harmonic oscillator. The well known results for both the bosonic and fermionic oscillators are then reobtained as particular cases as ours. The technique we employ is a non-relativistic…
We consider certain scalar product of symmetric functions which is parameterized by a function $r$ and an integer $n$. One the one hand we have a fermionic representation of this scalar product. On the other hand we get a representation of…
This paper studies partitions in the space of antimonotonic boolean functions on sets of n elements. The antimonotonic functions are the antichains of the partially ordered set of subsets. We analyse and characterise a natural partial…
This paper, about a fluid-like system of spatially confined particles, reveals the analytic structure for both, the canonical and grand canonical partition functions. The studied system is inhomogeneously distributed in a region whose…
Newton's identities provide a way to express elementary symmetric polynomials in terms of power polynomials over fields of characteristic zero. In this article, we study the failure of this relation in positive characteristic and what can…
In classical statistical mechanics, the partition function is defined in phase space. We extend this concept to quantum statistical mechanics using Bohmian trajectories. The quantum partition function in phase space captures the ensemble of…
Bosonic and fermionic statistics are well known to give rise to antinomic behaviors, most notably boson bunching vs fermion antibunching. Here, we establish a fundamental relation that combines bosonic and fermionic multiparticle…
Boltzmann's differential equation is replaced by the corresponding reciprocal symmetric finite difference equation. Finite difference translates discreteness of energy. Boltzmann's function, then, splits into two reciprocally related…
A generalization of a beautiful $q$-series identity found in the unorganized portion of Ramanujan's second and third notebooks is obtained. As a consequence, we derive a new three-parameter identity which is a rich source of…
