We use an analytic criterion for vanishing of exponential damping of correlations developed previously (Piasecki et al, J. Chem. Phys., 133, 164507, 2010) to determine the threshold volume fractions for structural transitions in hard sphere systems in dimensions D=3,4,5 and 6, proceeding from the YBG hierarchy and using the Kirkwood superposition approximation. We conclude that the theory does predict phase transitions in qualitative agreement with numerical studies. We also derive, within the superposition approximation, the asymptotic form of the analytic condition for occurence of a structural transition in the D->Infinity limit .

Self-diffusion and radial distribution functions are studied in a strongly confined Lennard-Jones fluid. Surprisingly, in the solid-liquid phase transition region, where the system exhibits dynamic coexistence, the self-diffusion constants are shown
to present up to three-fold variations from solid to liquid phases at fixed temperature, while the radial distribution function corresponding to both the liquid and the solid phases are essentially indistinguishable.
The terminology granular matter refers to systems with a large number of hard objects (grains) of mesoscopic size ranging from millimeters to meters. Geological examples include desert sand and the rocks of a landslide. But the scope of such systems
is much broader, including powders and snow, edible products such a seeds and salt, medical products like pills, and extraterrestrial systems such as the surface regolith of Mars and the rings of Saturn. The importance of a fundamental understanding for granular matter properties can hardly be overestimated. Practical issues of current concern range from disaster mitigation of avalanches and explosions of grain silos to immense economic consequences within the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, they are of academic and conceptual importance as well as examples of systems far from equilibrium. Under many conditions of interest, granular matter flows like a normal fluid. In the latter case such flows are accurately described by the equations of hydrodynamics. Attention is focused here on the possibility for a corresponding hydrodynamic description of granular flows. The tools of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, developed over the past fifty years for fluids composed of atoms and molecules, are applied here to a system of grains for a fundamental approach to both qualitative questions and practical quantitative predictions. The nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations and expressions for the associated transport coefficients are obtained.
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.
The spontaneous symmetry breaking taking place in the direction perpendicular to the energy flux in a dilute vibrofluidized granular system is investigated, using both a hydrodynamic description and simulation methods. The latter include molecular dy
namics and direct Monte Carlo simulation of the Boltzmann equation. A marginal stability analysis of the hydrodynamic equations, carried out in the WKB approximation, is shown to be in good agreement with the simulation results. The shape of the hydrodynamic profiles beyond the bifurcation is discussed.
Presenting simple coarse-grained models of isotropic solids and fluids in $d=1$, $2$ and $3$ dimensions we investigate the correlations of the instantaneous pressure and its ideal and excess contributions at either imposed pressure (NPT-ensemble, $la
mbda=0$) or volume (NVT-ensemble, $lambda=1$) and for more general values of the dimensionless parameter $lambda$ characterizing the constant-volume constraint.
