We investigate the evolution of a particle in a Lorentz gas where the background scatters move and collide with each other. As in the standard Lorentz gas, we assume that the particle is negligibly light in comparison with scatters. We show that the average particle speed grows in time as t^{lambda/(4+lambda)} in three dimensions when the particle-scatter potential diverges as r^{-lambda} in the small separation limit. The typical displacement of the particle exhibits a universal linear growth in time independently on the density of the background gas and the particle-scatter interaction. The velocity and position distributions approach universal scaling forms. We determine the former, while for the position distribution we establish conjecturally exact scaling forms for the one and two-dimensional Lorentz gas.

Closed form, analytical results for the finite-temperature one-body density matrix, and Wigner function of a $d$-dimensional, harmonically trapped gas of particles obeying exclusion statistics are presented. As an application of our general expressions, we consider the intermediate particle statistics arising from the Gentile statistics, and compare its thermodynamic properties to the Haldane fractional exclusion statistics. At low temperatures, the thermodynamic quantities derived from both distributions are shown to be in excellent agreement. As the temperature is increased, the Gentile distribution continues to provide a good description of the system, with deviations only arising well outside of the degenerate regime. Our results illustrate that the exceedingly simple functional form of the Gentile distribution is an excellent alternative to the generally only implicit form of the Haldane distribution at low temperatures.
We report on recent results that show that the pair correlation function of systems with exponentially decaying interactions can fail to exhibit Ornstein-Zernike asymptotics at all sufficiently high temperatures and all sufficiently small densities. This turns out to be related to a lack of analyticity of the correlation length as a function of temperature and/or density and even occurs for one-dimensional systems.
In this paper, we compute exactly the average density of a harmonically confined Riesz gas of $N$ particles for large $N$ in the presence of a hard wall. In this Riesz gas, the particles repel each other via a pairwise interaction that behaves as $|x_i - x_j|^{-k}$ for $k>-2$, with $x_i$ denoting the position of the $i^{rm th}$ particle. This density can be classified into three different regimes of $k$. For $k geq 1$, where the interactions are effectively short-ranged, the appropriately scaled density has a finite support over $[-l_k(w),w]$ where $w$ is the scaled position of the wall. While the density vanishes at the left edge of the support, it approaches a nonzero constant at the right edge $w$. For $-1<k<1$, where the interactions are weakly long-ranged, we find that the scaled density is again supported over $[-l_k(w),w]$. While it still vanishes at the left edge of the support, it diverges at the right edge $w$ algebraically with an exponent $(k-1)/2$. For $-2<k< -1$, the interactions are strongly long-ranged that leads to a rather exotic density profile with an extended bulk part and a delta-peak at the wall, separated by a hole in between. Exactly at $k=-1$ the hole disappears. For $-2<k< -1$, we find an interesting first-order phase transition when the scaled position of the wall decreases through a critical value $w=w^*(k)$. For $w<w^*(k)$, the density is a pure delta-peak located at the wall. The amplitude of the delta-peak plays the role of an order parameter which jumps to the value $1$ as $w$ is decreased through $w^*(k)$. Our analytical results are in very good agreement with our Monte-Carlo simulations.
We present a new approach to the static finite temperature correlation functions of the Heisenberg chain based on functional equations. An inhomogeneous generalization of the n-site density operator is considered. The lattice path integral formulation with a finite but arbitrary Trotter number allows to derive a set of discrete functional equations with respect to the spectral parameters. We show that these equations yield a unique characterization of the density operator. Our functional equations are a discrete version of the reduced q-Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations which played a central role in the study of the zero temperature case. As a natural result, and independent of the arguments given by Jimbo, Miwa, and Smirnov (2009) we prove that the inhomogeneous finite temperature correlation functions have the same remarkable structure as for zero temperature: they are a sum of products of nearest-neighbor correlators.
The dynamics of electrons in the presence of a positive ion is considered for conditions of weak electron-electron couping but strong electron-ion coupling. The equilibrium electron density and electric field time correlation functions are evaluated for semi-classical conditions using a classical statistical mechanics with a regularized electron-ion interaction for MD simulation. The theoretical analysis for the equilibrium state is obtained from the corresponding nonlinear Vlasov equation. Time correlation functions for the electrons are determined from the linearized Vlasov equation. The resulting electron dynamics is described in terms of a distribution of single electron-ion trajectories screened by an inhomogeneous electron gas dielectric function. The results are applied to calculation of the autocorrelation function for the electron electric field at the ion for $ 0leq Zleq 40$, including conditions of strong electron-ion coupling. The electron stopping power and self-diffusion coefficient are determined from these results, and all properties calculated are compared with those obtained from semi-classical molecular dynamics simulation. The agreement with semi-classical MD simulation is found to be reasonable. The theoretical description provides an instructive interpretation for the strong electron-ion results.
