Some existing approaches to modeling the thermodynamics of moist air make approximations that break $\textit{thermodynamic consistency}$, such that the resulting thermodynamics do not obey the 1st and 2nd laws or have other inconsistencies.…
We present the phase diagram, in both the microcanonical and the canonical ensemble, of the Self-Gravitating-Ring (SGR) model, which describes the motion of equal point masses constrained on a ring and subject to 3D gravitational…
A quantitative application to real supercooled liquids of the mean-field scenario for the glass transition ($T_g$) is proposed. This scenario, based on an analogy with spin-glass models, suggests a unified picture of the mode-coupling…
We prove the height functions for a class of non-integrable and non-stationary particle systems converge to the KPZ equation, thereby making progress on the universality of the KPZ equation. The models herein are ASEP [4] with a mesoscopic…
Using the semiclassical neutral atom theory, we extend to fourth order the modified gradient expansion of the exchange energy of density functional theory. This expansion can be applied both to large atoms and solid-state problems.…
Markovian master equations provide a versatile tool for describing open quantum systems when memory effects of the environment may be neglected. As these equations are of an approximate nature, they often do not respect the laws of…
In standard thermodynamics, internal energy is a state function, independent of process rates. We show that this structure breaks down in open quantum systems undergoing thermalization. Within Gorini-Kossakowski-Lindblad-Sudarshan (GKLS)…

The hierarchical reference theory (HRT) is generalized to spins of dimensionality $D$. Then its properties are investigated by both analytical and numerical evaluations for supercritical temperatures. The HRT is closely related to the…
Two approaches to describe the thermodynamics of a subsystem that interacts with a thermal bath are considered. Within the first approach, the mean system energy $E_{S}$ is identified with the expectation value of the system Hamiltonian,…
We consider the thermal softening of crystals due to anharmonicity. Self-consistent methods find a maximum temperature for a stable crystal, which gives an upper bound to the melting temperature. Previous workers have shown that the…
A version of the Gaussian self-consistent (GSC) method, which avoids the use of the Edwards' virial expansion, is presented. Instead, the mean energy is evaluated directly via a convolution of the attractive part of the pair-wise non-bonded…
We uncover emergent universality arising in the equilibration dynamics of multimode continuous-variable systems. Specifically, we study the ensemble of pure states supported on a small subsystem of a few modes, generated by Gaussian…
