We consider refrigeration and heat engine circuits based on the nonlinear thermoelectric response of point-contacts at pinch-off, allowing for electrostatic interaction effects. We show that a refrigerator can cool to much lower…

The non-isothermal analysis of materials with the application of the Arrhenius equation involves temperature integration. If the frequency factor in the Arrhenius equation depends on temperature with a power-law relationship, the integral…

A generalized fluctuation-response relation is found for thermal systems driven out of equilibrium. Its derivation is independent of many details of the dynamics, which is only required to be first-order. The result gives a correction to…

We investigate the accuracy of a number of wavefunction based methods at the heart of quantum chemistry for metallic systems. Using Hartree-Fock as a reference, perturbative (M{\o}ller-Plesset, MP) and coupled cluster (CC) theories are used…

In this paper, we present convergence theorems for numerical solutions of the incompressible Euler equations. The first result is the Lax-Wendroff-type theorem, while the second can be formulated in the framework of the Lax equivalence…

The thermalization of an isolated quantum system is described by quantum mechanics and thermodynamics, while these two subjects are still not fully consistent with each other. This leaves a less-explored region where both quantum and…

Convergence aspects of nuclear many-body perturbation theory for ground states of closed-shell nuclei are explored using a Brillouin-Wigner formulation with a new vertex function enabling high-order calculations. A general formalism for…

We study the formation of a large-scale coherent structure (a condensate) in classical wave equations by considering the defocusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation as a representative model. We formulate a thermodynamic description of the…

Temperature in a simple thermodynamical system is not limited from above. It is also widely believed that it does not make sense talking about temperatures higher than the Planck temperature in the absence of the full theory of quantum…

We consider a question motivated by the third law of thermodynamics: can there be a local temperature arbitrarily close to absolute zero in a nonequilibrium quantum system? We consider nanoscale quantum conductors with the source reservoir…

This paper reports a detailed description of the equivalent linear two-body method for the many body problem, which is based on an approximate reduction of the many-body Schroedinger equation by the use of a variational principle. To test…

Hydro-kinetic theory of thermal fluctuations is applied to a non-conformal relativistic fluid. Solving the hydro-kinetic equations for an isotropically expanding background we find that hydrodynamic fluctuations give ultraviolet divergent…

We present a rigorous solution of the Boltzmann equation for the electron-phonon scattering problem in three spatial dimensions in the limit of low temperatures. The different temperature scaling of the various scattering rates turns the…

We construct a perturbation theory which we conjecture to be free of the Coulomb-phase infrared divergence. This perturbation theory is developed for one of the simplest yet prototypical scattering amplitudes which would otherwise exhibit…

We consider an approximation of the linearised equation of the homogeneous Boltzmann equation that describes the distribution of quasiparticles in a dilute gas of bosons at low temperature. The corresponding collision frequency is neither…

In a seminal work, Hawking showed that natural states for free quantum matter fields on classical spacetimes that solve the spherically symmetric vacuum Einstein equations are KMS states of non-vanishing temperature. Although Hawking's…

The temperature evolution of the quark condensate is studied using three different methods. In the spirit of a many-body approach we make an expansion in the scalar density up to second order. Our result is consistent chiral perturbation…

We briefly explain a novel diagrammatic method for including thermal corrections in $CP$ asymmetric reaction rates entering the quantum Boltzmann equation. In thermal equilibrium, the asymmetries have to cancel precisely due to the…

We study the equilibrium and near-equilibrium properties of a holographic five-dimensional model consisting of Einstein gravity coupled to a scalar field with a non-trivial potential. The dual four-dimensional gauge theory is not conformal…

We review how the phenomena of inverse symmetry breaking (and symmetry nonrestoration) may arise in the context of relativistic as well as nonrelativistic multi-scalar field theories. We discuss how the consideration of thermal effects on…
