This paper supplements and partly extends an earlier publication, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 265501 (2005). In $d$-dimensional continuous space we describe the infinite volume ground state configurations (GSCs) of pair interactions $\vfi$ and…
Weak limits as the density tends to infinity of classical ground states of integrable pair potentials are shown to minimize the mean-field energy functional. By studying the latter we derive global properties of high-density ground state…
A space-periodic ground state is shown to exist for lattices of smeared ions in $\R^3$ coupled to the Schr\"odinger and scalar fields. The elementary cell is necessarily neutral. The 1D, 2D and 3D lattices in $\R^3$ are considered, and a…
We perform the symmetry analysis of the properties of the ground state of a finite system of interacting spinless bosons for the three most symmetric boundary conditions (BCs): zero BCs with spherical and circular symmetries, as well as…
We study the ground-state properties of one-dimensional fluids of classical (i.e., non-quantum) particles interacting pairwisely via a potential, at the fixed particle density $\rho$. Restricting ourselves to periodic configurations of…
The ground-state of two-dimensional (2D) systems of classical particles interacting pairwisely by the generalized Lennard-Jones potential is studied. Taking the surface area per particle $A$ as a free parameter and restricting oneself to…
This paper is a contribution to the theory of coherent crystals. We present arguments claiming that negative minima in the Fourier transform of a soft pair interaction may give rise to the coexistence of diagonal and off-diagonal long-range…
We study structural transitions in a system of interacting particles arranged as a crystalline bilayer, as a function of the density $\rho$ and the distance $d$ between the layers. As $d$ is decreased a sequence of transitions involving…
A space-periodic ground state is shown to exist for lattices of point ions in $\R^3$ coupled to the Schr\"odinger and scalar fields. The coupling requires the renormalization of the selfaction because of the singularity of the Coulomb…
We introduce a one-parameter family, $0 \leq H \leq 1$, of pair potential functions with a single relative energy minimum that stabilize a range of vacancy-riddled crystals as ground states. The "quintic potential" is a short-ranged,…
To our best knowledge there is only one example of a lattice system with long-range two-body interactions whose ground states have been determined exactly: the one-dimensional lattice gas with purely repulsive and strictly convex…
Spontaneously crystalline ground states, called quantum crystals, of a trapped Rydberg-dressed Bose-Einstein condensate are numerically investigated. As a result described by a mean-field order parameter, such states simultaneously possess…
We investigate the ground state of a one-dimensional lattice system that hosts two different kinds of excitations (species) which interact with a power-law potential. Interactions are only present between excitations of the same kind and…
The global density of states (GDOS) close to the band center $\epsilon=0$ for a particle hopping on a square lattice and subjected to disorder that preserves the bipartite symmetry of the lattice is computed using field theoretical methods.…
The ground-state wave function and the energy gap are calculated for various layer separations d and for up to 24 electrons by the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method. Two-particle distribution function and excitonic…
We address the problem of stability of one-dimensional non-periodic ground-state configurations with respect to finite-range perturbations of interactions in classical lattice-gas models. We show that a relevant property of non-periodic…
We consider a one-dimensional classical many-body system with interaction potential of Lennard-Jones type in the thermodynamic limit at low temperature $1/\beta\in(0,\infty)$. The ground state is a periodic lattice. We show that when the…

In a k-dimensional system of weakly interacting Bose atoms trapped by a spherically symmetric and harmonic external potential, an exact expression is obtained for the rotating ground states at a fixed angular momentum. The result is valid…
We show that classical many-particle systems interacting with certain soft pair interactions in two dimensions exhibit novel low-temperature behaviors. Ground states span from disordered to crystalline. At some densities, a large fraction…
