We introduce a general framework for analyzing the thermodynamics of small systems that are driven by both a periodic temperature variation and some external parameter modulating their energy. This set-up covers, in particular, periodic…

We construct a W^*-dynamical system describing the dynamics of a class of anharmonic quantum oscillator lattice systems in the thermodynamic limit. Our approach is based on recently proved Lieb-Robinson bounds for such systems on finite…

An integer matrix $A\in M_d(\Z)$ induces a covering $\sigma_A$ of $\T^d$ and an endomorphism $\alpha_A:f\mapsto f\circ \sigma_A$ of $C(\T^d)$ for which there is a natural transfer operator $L$. In this paper, we compute the KMS states on…

This work develops a rigorous setting allowing one to prove several features related to the behaviour of the Heisenberg-Ising (or XXZ) spin-$1/2$ chain at finite temperature $T$. Within the quantum inverse scattering method the physically…

The thermodynamic properties of a one-dimensional model describing spin dynamics in the presence of a twofold orbital degeneracy are studied numerically using the transfer-matrix renormalization group (TMRG). The model contains an…

The mean spherical approximation (MSA) can be solved semi-analytically for the Gaussian core model (GCM) and yields - rather surprisingly - exactly the same expressions for the energy and the virial equations. Taking advantage of this…

We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of the Luttinger model after a quantum quench, when the initial state is a finite temperature thermal equilibrium state. The diagonal elements of the density matrix in the steady state show thermal…

Given positive integers n and m, we consider dynamical systems in which n copies of a topological space is homeomorphic to m copies of that same space. The universal such system is shown to arise naturally from the study of a C*-algebra we…

We consider an exactly solvable version of the quantum spin-1/2 orthogonal-dimer chain with the Heisenberg intra-dimer and Ising inter-dimer couplings. The investigated quantum spin system exhibits at zero temperature fractional plateaux at…

We discuss some recent results connected with the properties of temperature states of quantum disordered systems. This analysis falls within the natural framework of operator algebras. Among the results quoted here, we recall some ergodic…

We study the KMS states of the C*-algebra of a strongly connected finite k-graph. We find that there is only one 1-parameter subgroup of the gauge action that can admit a KMS state. The extreme KMS states for this preferred dynamics are…

We study signatures of chaos in the quantum Lifshitz model through out-of-time ordered correlators (OTOC) of current operators. This model is a free scalar field theory with dynamical critical exponent $z=2$. It describes the quantum phase…

Let X be a Hilbert bimodule over a C*-algebra A and $O_X= A \rtimes_X \Z$. Using a finite section method we construct a sequence of completely positive contractions factoring through matrix algebras over A which act on $s_{\xi} s_{\eta}^*$…

We use the full-density matrix (FDM) numerical renormalization group (NRG) method to calculate the equilibrium dynamical correlation function $C(\omega)$ of the spin operator $\sigma_z$ at finite temperature for the sub-Ohmic spin-boson…

We develop a finite-dimensional, symmetric matrix framework associated with the Riemann zeta function for complex arguments s with Real(s) unequal 1/2.

Within the C*-algebraic framework of the resolvent algebra for canonical quantum systems, the structure of oscillating lattice systems with bounded nearest neighbor interactions is studied in any number of dimensions. The global dynamics of…

The thermodynamics of the O(N) nonlinear sigma model in 1+1 dimensions is studied. We calculate the pressure to next-to-leading order in the 1/N expansion and show that at this order, only the minimum of the effective potential can be…

Using high statistic numerical results we investigate the properties of the O(3) non-linear 2D sigma-model. Our main concern is the detection of an hypothetical Kosterlitz-Thouless-like (KT) phase transition which would contradict the…

Low temperature dynamics of the S=1/2 Heisenberg chain is studied via a simple ansatz generalizing the conformal mapping and analytic continuation procedures to correlation functions with multiplicative logarithmic factors. Closed form…

It is shown that, under quite general conditions, thermal correlation functions in relativistic quantum field theory have stronger analyticity properties in configuration space than those imposed by the KMS-condition. These analyticity…
