In a previous paper it was shown that the quantum consistency conditions for the dilaton-gravity theory of Callan et al., imply that the cosmological constant term undergoes a dilaton dependent renormalization, in such a manner that the…
Quantum chaos---the study of quantized nonintegrable Hamiltonian systems---is an extremely well-developed and sophisticated field. By contrast, very little work has been done in looking at quantum versions of systems which classically…
In an attempt to generalize the Hamilton's principle, an action functional is proposed which, unlike the standard version of the principle, accounts properly for all initial data and the possible presence of dissipation. To this end, the…
In this work we discuss the extraction of mean field single particle Hamiltonians from a many body wave function of a fermionic system. It allows us to discuss the result of a many particle wave function in terms of a non-interacting…
A new discrete model for energy relaxation of a quantum particle is described via a projection operator, causing the wave function collapse. Power laws for the evolution of the particle coordinate and momentum dispersions are derived. A new…

We show that an high temperature expansion at fixed order parameter can be derived for the quantum Ising model. The basic point is to consider a statistical generating functional associated to the local spin state. The probability at…
In this article we formulate and prove sufficient conditions for the existence of trajectories of nonstationary periodic solutions of autonomous Hamiltonian systems in a neighbourhood of equilibria. It is worth pointing out that assumptions…
We study the integrability of a two-dimensional Hamiltonian system with a gyroscopic term and a non-homogeneous potential composed of two homogeneous components of different degrees. The model describes the motion of a particle in a plane…
We present developments of the Hamiltonian approach to problems of the freely decay of isotropic turbulence, and also consider specific applications of the modified Prelle-Singer procedure to isotropic turbulence. It demonstrates that a…
We present and discuss a general density-matrix description of energy-dissipation and decoherence phenomena in open quantum systems, able to overcome the intrinsic limitations of the conventional Markov approximation. In particular, the…
We introduce a type of quantum dissipation -- local quantum friction -- by adding to the Hamiltonian a local potential that breaks time-reversal invariance so as to cool the system. Unlike the Kossakowski-Lindblad master equation, local…
A common belief is that further quantum corrections near the singularity of a large black hole should not substantially modify the semiclassical picture of black hole evaporation; in particular, the outgoing spectrum of radiation should be…
The projection formalism for calculating effective Hamiltonians and resonances is generalized to the nonlocal and/or nonhermitian case, so that it is applicable to the reduction of relativistic systems (Bethe-Salpeter equations), and to…
Generalized Gibbs ensembles have been used as powerful tools to describe the steady state of integrable many-particle quantum systems after a sudden change of the Hamiltonian. Here we demonstrate numerically, that they can be used for a…
