In this paper we develop a general formalism of a path approach for non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Firstly, we consider the classical Gibbs approach for states and find that this formalism is ineffective for non-equilibrium…
In the quantum theory, using the notion of partial supersymmetry, in which some, but not all, operators have superpartners we derive the Euler theorem in partition theory. The paraferminic partition function gives another identity in…

When particles on a line collide, they may coalesce into one. Such systems arise in the voter model, where boundaries between opinion clusters perform coalescing random walks, and in reaction-diffusion theory, where diffusing particles…
