The traditional approach to establishing a local measure of chemical hardness, by defining a local hardness concept through the derivative of the chemical potential with respect to the electron density, has been found to have limited…
A mathematically consistent procedure for coupling quasiclassical and quantum variables through coupled Hamilton-Heisenberg equations of motion is derived from a variational principle. During evolution, the quasiclassical variables become…
The notion of the n-th order local energy, generated by the n-th power of the Hamiltonian, has been introduced. The n-th order two-particle coalescence conditions have been derived from the requirements that the n-th order local energy at…
In this paper we discuss energy conservation issues related to the numerical solution of the nonlinear wave equation. As is well known, this problem can be cast as a Hamiltonian system that may be autonomous or not, depending on the…
Textbook quantum mechanics treats time as a classical parameter, and not as a quantum observable with an associated Hermitian operator. For this reason, to make sense of usual time-energy uncertainty relations such as $\Delta {t}\Delta…
Results of quasi-classical molecular dynamics simulations of the quantum electron gas are reported. Quantum effects corresponding to the Pauli and the Heisenberg principle are modeled by an effective momentum-dependent Hamiltonian. The…
We discuss a novel explanation of the dark energy as a manifestation of macroscopic non-locality coming from quantum gravity, as proposed by Markopoulou. It has been previously suggested that in a transition from an early quantum geometric…
We consider quasilinear elliptic systems in divergence form. In general, we cannot expect that weak solutions are locally bounded because of De Giorgi's counterexample. Here we assume a condition on the support of off-diagonal coefficients…
We present the Hamiltonian, quasilocal energy, and angular momentum for a spacetime region spatially bounded by two timelike surfaces. The results are applied to the particular case of a spacetime representing an eternal black hole. It is…
Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations often use mechanisms called thermostats to regulate the temperature. A Hamiltonian is presented for the case of the isoenergetic (constant internal energy) thermostat corresponding to a tunable…
We use the conservation of the renormalized boundary stress-energy tensor to obtain the equilibrium condition for a general (thin or fat) black ring solution. We also investigate the role of the spatial stress in the thermodynamics of…
On the basis of extensive numerical studies it is argued that there are strong analogies between the probabilistic behavior of quantum systems defined by Hermitian Hamiltonians and the deterministic behavior of classical mechanical systems…
Recently, we have suggested some semi-quantitative Hamiltonian for an electron in a hydrogen atom in a weak gravitational field, which takes into account quantum effects of electron motion in the atom. We have shown that this Hamiltonian…
When canonical Hamiltonians of local quantum field theories are transformed using a renormalization group procedure for effective particles, the resulting interaction terms are non-local. The range of their non-locality depends on the…
The dynamics of classical and quantum systems which are driven by a high frequency ($\omega$) field is investigated. For classical systems the motion is separated into a slow part and a fast part. The motion for the slow part is computed…
Generally, the local interactions in a many-body quantum spin system on a lattice do not commute with each other. Consequently, the Hamiltonian of a local region will generally not commute with that of the entire system, and so the two…
We study the {\it quasi-classical limit} of a quantum system composed of finitely many non-relativistic particles coupled to a quantized field in Nelson-type models. We prove that, as the field becomes classical and the corresponding…
In classical thermodynamics the Euler relation is an expression for the internal energy as a sum of the products of canonical pairs of extensive and intensive variables. For quantum systems the situation is more intricate, since one has to…
Quantum systems with constraints are often considered in modern theoretical physcics. All realistic field models based on the idea of gauge symmetry are of this type. A partial case of constraints being linear in coordinate and momenta…
It is shown that a canonical time observable may be defined for any quantum system having a discrete set of energy eigenvalues, thus significantly generalising the known case of time observables for periodic quantum systems (such as the…
