In a recent paper [J. Math. Phys. 47 082303 (2006)], Quantum Energy Inequalities were used to place simple geometrical bounds on the energy densities of quantum fields in Minkowskian spacetime regions. Here, we refine this analysis for…
We propose a description of nonequilibrium systems via a simple protocol that combines exchange-correlation potentials from density functional theory with self-energies of many-body perturbation theory. The approach, aimed to avoid double…
An analysis shows that the ground state of the inhomogeneous system of interacting electrons in the static external field, which satisfies the thermodynamic limit, can be consistently described only using the Green function theory based on…
Quantum inequalities are bounds on negative time-averages of the energy density of a quantum field. They can be used to rule out exotic spacetimes in general relativity. We study quantum inequalities for a scalar field with a background…
It is shown that the Hohenberg-Kohn lemma and theorem are direct consequences of the statement that the ground state energy (or free energy) of a system of interacting particles in an external field is a unique functional of the potential…
A novel general framework for the study of $\Gamma$-convergence of functionals defined over pairs of measures and energy-measures is introduced. This theory allows us to identify the $\Gamma$-limit of these kind of functionals by knowing…
There has been an enduring interest and controversy about whether or not one can define physically meaningful energy density and stress fields, $e(\bf{r})$ and $\sigma_{\alpha \beta}(\bf{r})$, since the two forms of the kinetic energy,…
This paper is concerned with equilibrium configurations of one-dimensional particle system with non-convex nearest-neighbour and next-to-nearest-neighbour interactions and its passage to the continuum. The goal is to derive compactness…
Active systems are inherently out of equilibrium, as they collect energy from their surroundings and transform it into directed motion. A recent theoretical study suggests that binary mixtures of active particles with distinct effective…
We present new method for studying the equilibrium properties of interacting fluids in an arbitrary external filed. The method is valid in any dimension and it yields an exact results in one dimension. Using this approach, we derive a…
We discuss energy densities in the strong-interaction limit of density functional theory, deriving an exact expression within the definition (gauge) of the electrostatic potential of the exchange-correlation hole. Exact results for small…
A density functional theory is developed for fermions in one dimension, interacting via a delta-function. Such systems provide a natural testing ground for questions of principle, as the local density approximation should work well for…
When a fluid is subject to an external field, as is the case near an interface or under spatial confinement, then the density becomes spatially inhomogeneous. Although the one-body density provides much useful information, a higher level of…
A fermion ground state energy functional is set up in terms of particle density, relative pair density, and kinetic energy tensor density. It satisfies a minimum principle if constrained by a complete set of compatibility conditions. A…
Molecular collision within an ideal gas originates from an intrinsic short-range repulsive interaction. The collision reduces the average accessible physical space for a single molecule and this has a direct consequence on the entropy of…
We consider an interaction of charged bodies under the following simplified conditions: the distribution of charge over each body is stable; the interaction of bodies is governed by electrical forces only. Physically, these assumptions can…
We provide upper and lower bounds on the lowest free energy of a classical system at given one-particle density $\rho(x)$. We study both the canonical and grand-canonical cases, assuming the particles interact with a pair potential which…
