We extend results developed by Chandler [J. Chem. Phys. 65, 2925 (1976)] for the dielectric constant of neutral site-site molecular models to mixtures of both charged and uncharged molecules. This provides a unified derivation connecting the Stillinger-Lovett moment conditions for ions to standard results for the dielectric constant for polar species and yields exact expressions for the small-k expansion of the two-point intermolecular charge-density function used to determine the total Coulomb energy. The latter is useful in determining corrections to the thermodynamics of uniform site-site molecular models simulated with spherically truncated Coulomb interactions.

Coulomb interactions are present in a wide variety of all-atom force fields. Spherical truncations of these interactions permit fast simulations but are problematic due to their incorrect thermodynamics. Herein we demonstrate that simple analytical c
orrections for the thermodynamics of uniform truncated systems are possible. In particular results for the SPC/E water model treated with spherically-truncated Coulomb interactions suggested by local molecular field theory [Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 105, 19136 (2008)] are presented. We extend results developed by Chandler [J. Chem. Phys. 65, 2925 (1976)] so that we may treat the thermodynamics of mixtures of flexible charged and uncharged molecules simulated with spherical truncations. We show that the energy and pressure of spherically-truncated bulk SPC/E water are easily corrected using exact second-moment-like conditions on long-ranged structure. Furthermore, applying the pressure correction as an external pressure removes the density errors observed by other research groups in NPT simulations of spherically-truncated bulk species.
Using the adiabatic connection, we formulate the free energy in terms of the correlation function of a fictitious system, $h_{lambda}({bf r},{bf r})$, where $lambda$ determines the interaction strength. To obtain $h_{lambda}({bf r},{bf r})$ we use th
e Ornstein-Zernike equation, and the two equations constitute a general liquid-state framework for treating inhomogeneous fluids. As the two equations do not form a closed set, an approximate closure relation is required and it determines a type of an approximation. In the present work we investigate the random phase approximation (RPA) closure. We determine that this approximation is identical to the variational Gaussian approximation derived within the framework of the field-theory. We then apply our generalized RPA approximation to the Gaussian core model and Coulomb charges.
Finite temperature density functional theory provides, in principle, an exact description of the thermodynamical equilibrium of many-electron systems. In practical applications, however, the functionals must be approximated. Efficient and physically
meaningful approximations can be developed if relevant properties of the exact functionals are known and taken into consideration as constraints. In this work, derivations of exact properties and scaling relations for the main quantities of finite temperature density functional theory are presented. In particular, a coordinate scaling transformation at finite temperature is introduced and its consequences are elucidated.
We propose a model of run-and-tumble particles (RTPs) on a line with a fertile site at the origin. After going through the fertile site, a run-and-tumble particle gives rise to new particles until it flips direction. The process of creation of new pa
rticles is modelled by a fertility function (of the distance to the fertile site), multiplied by a fertility rate. If the initial conditions correspond to a single RTP with even probability density, the system is parity-invariant. The equations of motion can be solved in the Laplace domain, in terms of the density of right-movers at the origin. At large time, this density is shown to grow exponentially, at a rate that depends only on the fertility function and fertility rate. Moreover, the total density of RTPs (divided by the density of right-movers at the origin), reaches a stationary state that does not depend on the initial conditions, and presents a local minimum at the fertile site.
We propose a general method (based on the Wang-Landau algorithm) to compute numerically free energies that are obtained from the logarithm of the ratio of suitable partition functions. As an application, we determine with high accuracy the order-orde
r interface tension of the four-state Potts model in three dimensions on cubic lattices of linear extension up to L=56. The infinite volume interface tension is then extracted at each beta from a fit of the finite volume interface tension to a known universal behavior. A comparison of the order-order and order-disorder interface tension at the critical value of beta provides a clear numerical evidence of perfect wetting.
