Passivity is a fundamental concept that constitutes a necessary condition for any quantum system to attain thermodynamic equilibrium, and for a notion of temperature to emerge. While extensive work has been done that exploits this, the…

In this paper, we consider the Gibbs measure associated to a logarithmically correlated random potential (including two dimensional free fields) at low temperature. We prove that the energy landscape freezes and enters in the so-called…
We show that a quantum system with nonlocal interaction can have bound states of unusual type (isolated states (IS)). IS is a bound state that do not generate a $S$-matrix pole. IS can have positive as well as negative energy and can be…

Compressible lattice gas models are used in material science to understand the coupling between composition and strain in alloys. The seminal work in this field is the 1973 Larch\'{e}-Cahn paper (Acta Metall. 21, 1051-1063). Single-phase…
We consider an overdamped Brownian particle subject to an asymptotically flat potential with a trap of depth $U_0$ around the origin. When the temperature is small compared to the trap depth ($\xi=k_B T/U_0 \ll 1$), there exists a range of…
