Models of quantum and classical particles on the d-dimensional cubic lattice with pair interparticle interactions are considered. The classical model is obtained from the corresponding quantum one when the reduced physical mass of the particle tends to infinity. For these models, it is proposed to define the convergence of the Euclidean Gibbs states, when the reduced mass tends to infinity, by the weak convergence of the corresponding Gibbs specifications, determined by conditional Gibbs measures. In fact it is proved that all conditional Gibbs measures of the quantum model weakly converge to the conditional Gibbs measures of the classical model. A similar convergence of the periodic Gibbs measures and, as a result, of the order parameters, for such models with the pair interactions possessing the translation invariance, has also been proven.
The explicit semiclassical treatment of the logarithmic perturbation theory for the bound-state problem for the spherical anharmonic oscillator and the screened Coulomb potential is developed. Based upon the $hbar$-expansions and suitable quantization conditions a new procedure for deriving perturbation expansions is offered. Avoiding disadvantages of the standard approach, new handy recursion formulae with the same simple form both for ground and excited states have been obtained. As examples, the perturbation expansions for the energy eigenvalues of the quartic anharmonic oscillator and the Debye potential are considered.
We review recent progress in operator algebraic approach to conformal quantum field theory. Our emphasis is on use of representation theory in classification theory. This is based on a series of joint works with R. Longo.
This work continues the study of the thermal Hamiltonian, initially proposed by J. M. Luttinger in 1964 as a model for the conduction of thermal currents in solids. The previous work [DL] contains a complete study of the free model in one spatial dimension along with a preliminary scattering result for convolution-type perturbations. This work complements the results obtained in [DL] by providing a detailed analysis of the perturbation theory for the one-dimensional thermal Hamiltonian. In more detail the following result are established: the regularity and decay properties for elements in the domain of the unperturbed thermal Hamiltonian; the determination of a class of self-adjoint and relatively compact perturbations of the thermal Hamiltonian; the proof of the existence and completeness of wave operators for a subclass of such potentials.
The method, proposed in the given work, allows the application of well developed standard methods used in quantum mechanics for approximate solution of the systems of ordinary linear differential equations with periodical coefficients.
