We use techniques in the shuffle algebra to present a formula for the partition function of a one-dimensional log-gas comprised of particles of (possibly) different integer charges at certain inverse temperature $beta$ in terms of the Berezin integral of an associated non-homogeneous alternating tensor. This generalizes previously known results by removing the restriction on the number of species of odd charge. Our methods provide a unified framework extending the de Bruijn integral identities from classical $beta$-ensembles ($beta$ = 1, 2, 4) to multicomponent ensembles, as well as to iterated integrals of more general determinantal integrands.
This paper develops a method to carry out the large-$N$ asymptotic analysis of a class of $N$-dimensional integrals arising in the context of the so-called quantum separation of variables method. We push further ideas developed in the context of random matrices of size $N$, but in the present problem, two scales $1/N^{alpha}$ and $1/N$ naturally occur. In our case, the equilibrium measure is $N^{alpha}$-dependent and characterised by means of the solution to a $2times 2$ Riemann--Hilbert problem, whose large-$N$ behavior is analysed in detail. Combining these results with techniques of concentration of measures and an asymptotic analysis of the Schwinger-Dyson equations at the distributional level, we obtain the large-$N$ behavior of the free energy explicitly up to $o(1)$. The use of distributional Schwinger-Dyson is a novelty that allows us treating sufficiently differentiable interactions and the mixing of scales $1/N^{alpha}$ and $1/N$, thus waiving the analyticity assumptions often used in random matrix theory.
The aim of this article is twofold: firstly, we show how to recover the smooth Deligne-Beilinson cohomology groups from a Heegaard splitting of a closed oriented smooth 3-manifold by extending the usual tch-de Rham construction; secondly, thanks to the above and still relying on a Heegaard splitting, we explain how to compute the partition functions of the $U(1)$ Chern-Simons and BF theories.
We study a log-gas on a network (a finite, simple graph) confined in a bounded subset of a local field (i.e. R, C, Q_{p} the field of p-adic numbers). In this gas, a log-Coulomb interaction between two charged particles occurs only when the sites of the particles are connected by an edge of the network. The partition functions of such gases turn out to be a particular class of multivariate local zeta functions attached to the network and a positive test function which is determined by the confining potential. The methods and results of the theory of local zeta functions allow us to establish that the partition functions admit meromorphic continuations in the parameter b{eta} (the inverse of the absolute temperature). We give conditions on the charge distributions and the confining potential such that the meromorphic continuations of the partition functions have a pole at a positive value b{eta}_{UV}, which implies the existence of phase transitions at finite temperature. In the case of p-adic fields the meromorphic continuations of the partition functions are rational functions in the variable p^{-b{eta}}. We give an algorithm for computing such rational functions. For this reason, we can consider the p-adic log-Coulomb gases as exact solvable models. We expect that all these models for different local fields share common properties, and that they can be described by a uniform theory.
Consider the long-range models on $mathbb{Z}^d$ of random walk, self-avoiding walk, percolation and the Ising model, whose translation-invariant 1-step distribution/coupling coefficient decays as $|x|^{-d-alpha}$ for some $alpha>0$. In the previous work (Ann. Probab., 43, 639--681, 2015), we have shown in a unified fashion for all $alpha e2$ that, assuming a bound on the derivative of the $n$-step distribution (the compound-zeta distribution satisfies this assumed bound), the critical two-point function $G_{p_c}(x)$ decays as $|x|^{alphawedge2-d}$ above the upper-critical dimension $d_cequiv(alphawedge2)m$, where $m=2$ for self-avoiding walk and the Ising model and $m=3$ for percolation. In this paper, we show in a much simpler way, without assuming a bound on the derivative of the $n$-step distribution, that $G_{p_c}(x)$ for the marginal case $alpha=2$ decays as $|x|^{2-d}/log|x|$ whenever $dge d_c$ (with a large spread-out parameter $L$). This solves the conjecture in the previous work, extended all the way down to $d=d_c$, and confirms a part of predictions in physics (Brezin, Parisi, Ricci-Tersenghi, J. Stat. Phys., 157, 855--868, 2014). The proof is based on the lace expansion and new convolution bounds on power functions with log corrections.
Particle production in high-energy collisions is often addressed within the framework of the thermal (statistical) model. We present a method to calculate the canonical partition function for the hadron resonance gas with exact conservation of the baryon number, strangeness, electric charge, charmness and bottomness. We derive an analytical expression for the partition function which is represented as series of Bessel functions. Our results can be used directly to analyze particle production yields in elementary and in heavy ion collisions. We also quantify the importance of quantum statistics in the calculations of the light particle multiplicities in the canonical thermal model of the hadron resonance gas.
