We discuss alternative homogeneous electron gas systems in which a finite number $n$ of electrons are confined to a $D$-dimensional sphere. We derive the first few terms of the high-density ($r_s\to0$, where $r_s$ is the Seitz radius)…
In earlier work we showed that the particle displacement for the multidimensional periodic Lorentz gas, in the limit of low scatterer density (Boltzmann-Grad limit), satisfies a central limit theorem with superdiffusive scaling. The present…
The Lorentz gas is one of the simplest and most widely-studied models for particle transport in matter. It describes a cloud of non-interacting gas particles in an infinitely extended array of identical spherical scatterers. The model was…
The influence of relativistic contributions to elastic electron deuteron scattering is studied systematically at low and intermediate momentum transfers ($Q^2\leq 30$ fm$^{-2}$). In a $(p/M)$-expansion, all leading order relativistic…
We investigate the random flight process that arises as the Boltzmann-Grad limit of a random scatterer Lorentz gas with variable scatterer density in a gravitational field. For power function densities we show how the parameters of the…
The periodic Lorentz gas describes an ensemble of non-interacting point particles in a periodic array of spherical scatterers. We have recently shown that, in the limit of small scatterer density (Boltzmann-Grad limit), the macroscopic…

We introduce and analyze a model for the transport of particles or energy in extended lattice systems. The dynamics of the model acts on a discrete phase space at discrete times but has nonetheless some of the characteristic properties of…
We present results of molecular dynamics simulations of the electron system on the surface of liquid helium. The simulations are done for 1600 electrons with periodic boundary conditions. Electron scattering by capillary waves and phonons…
In this paper the effective mass approximation and k.p multi-band models, describing quantum evolution of electrons in a crystal lattice, are discussed. Electrons are assumed to move in both a periodic potential and a macroscopic one. The…

Mean field approximation treats only coherent aspects of the evolution of a Bose Einstein condensate. However, in many experiments some atoms scatter out of the condensate. We study an analytic model of two counter-propagating atomic…
Within a quasipotential framework a relativistic analysis is presented of the deuteron current. Assuming that the singularities from the nucleon propagators are important, a so-called equal time approximation of the current is constructed.…
