We use the path integral approach to a two-dimensional noncommutative harmonic oscillator to derive the partition function of the system at finite temperature. It is shown that the result based on the Lagrangian formulation of the problem,…
We revisit the question of whether or not one can perform reliable semiclassical QCD computations at zero temperature. We study correlation functions with no perturbative contributions, and organize the problem by means of the operator…
Semiclassical techniques have proven to be a very powerful method to extract physical effects from different quantum theories. Therefore, it is expected that in the near future they will play a very prominent role in the context of quantum…
We find a relation between the semiclassical approximation of the temperature (Matsubara) 2-point correlator and the corresponding classical Green function in real time at finite temperature. The anharmonic oscillator at finite temperature…
From previous work arXiv:2010.09811, the semiclassical backreaction equation in 1+1 dimensions was solved and a criterion was implemented to assess the validity of the semiclassical approximation in this case. The criterion involves the…
We construct the exact partition function of the Potts model on a complete graph subject to external fields with linear and nematic type couplings. The partition function is obtained as a solution to a linear diffusion equation and the free…
We investigate quantum entanglement of a scalar field in the inflationary universe. By introducing a bipartite system using a lattice model of scalar field, we apply the separability criterion based on the partial transpose operation and…
We considered the thermodynamics in spaces with deformed commutation relation leading to existence of the minimal length. We developed a classical method of the partition function evaluation. We calculated the partition function and heat…
The infrared dynamics of a minimally coupled scalar field in de Sitter spacetime can be described as Brownian motion of a particle in a medium of de Sitter temperature $T_{DS}=\frac{H}{2\pi}$. The system obeys a fluctuation-dissipation…
A finite-time fluctuation theorem for the diffusion-influenced surface reaction A <=> B is investigated for spherical and Janus catalytic particles. The finite-time rates and thermodynamic force are analytically calculated by solving…
We describe a novel fluctuating-surface current formulation of radiative heat transfer between bodies of arbitrary shape that exploits efficient and sophisticated techniques from the surface-integral-equation formulation of classical…
Employing the path integral approach, we calculate the semiclassical equilibrium density matrix of a particle moving in a nonlinear potential field for coordinates near the top of a potential barrier. As the temperature is decreased, near a…
Returning a system to a desired state under a force field involves a thermodynamic cost, i.e., {\it work}. This cost fluctuates for a small-scale system from one experimental realization to another. We introduce a general framework to…
We consider a theory of a scalar one-component field $\phi$ coupled to a scalar $N$-component field $\chi$. Using large $N$ techiques we calculate the effective potential in the leading order in $1/N$. We show that this is equivalent to a…
Using the concept of open systems where the classical geometry is treated as the system and the quantum matter field as the environment, we derive a fluctuation-dissipation theorem for semiclassical cosmology. This theorem which exists…
In this paper, an improved quasi-particle model is presented. Unlike the previous approach of establishing quasi-particle model, we introduce a classical background field (it is allowed to depend on the temperature) to deal with the…
We show that the partition function for a scalar field in a static spacetime background can be expressed as a functional integral in the corresponding optical space, and point out that the difference between this and the functional integral…
Several extensions of General Relativity and high energy physics include scalar fields as extra degrees of freedom. In the search for predictions in the non-linear regime of cosmological evolution, the community makes use of numerical…
The semi-classical approximation is an explicit formula of mathematical physics for the sum of Feynman diagrams with a single circuit.In this paper, we study the same problem in the setting of modular operads (see dg-ga/9408003); instead of…
Working with a toy model whose partition function consists of a discrete summation, we introduce the statistical field-theory methodology by transforming a partition function via a formal Gaussian integral relation (the Hubbard-Stratonovich…
