Extending a previous study of the velocity autocorrelation function (VAF) in a simulated Lennard-Jones fluid to cover higher-density and lower-temperature states, we show that the recently demonstrated multiexponential expansion allows for a full account and understanding of the dynamical processes encompassed by a fundamental quantity as the VAF. In particular, besides obtaining evidence of a persisting long-time tail, we assign specific and unambiguous physical meanings to groups of exponential modes related to the longitudinal and transverse collective dynamics, respectively. We have made this possible by consistently introducing the interpretation of the VAF frequency spectrum as a global density of states in fluids, generalizing a solid-state concept, and by giving to specific spectral components, obtained via the VAF exponential expansion, the corresponding meaning of partial densities of states relative to specific dynamical processes. The clear identification of a high-frequency oscillation of the VAF with the near-top excitation frequency in the dispersion curve of acoustic waves is a neat example of the power of the method. As for the transverse mode contribution, its analysis turns out to be particularly important, because the multiexponential expansion reveals a transition marking the onset of propagating excitations when the density is increased above a threshold value. While this finding agrees with recent literature debating the issue of dynamical crossover boundaries, such as the one identified with the Frenkel line, we can add detailed information on the modes involved in this specific process in the domains of both time and frequency. This will help obtain a still missing full account of transverse dynamics, in its nonpropagating and propagating aspects which are linked by dynamical transitions depending on both the thermodynamic states and the excitation wavevectors.
I show how Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in a non interacting bosonic system with exponential density of states function yields to a new class of Lerch zeta functions. By looking on the critical temperature, I suggest that a possible strategy to p
We use the Quantum Langevin equation as a starting point to study the response function, the position-velocity correlation function and the velocity autocorrelation function of a charged Quantum Brownian particle in a magnetic field coupled to a bath
We find in complementary experiments and event driven simulations of sheared inelastic hard spheres that the velocity autocorrelation function $psi(t)$ decays much faster than $t^{-3/2}$ obtained for a fluid of elastic spheres at equilibrium. Particl
A solution of the inelastic Enskog equation that goes beyond the weak dissipation limit and applies for moderate densities is used to determine the thermal diffusion factor of an intruder immersed in a dense granular gas under gravity. This factor pr
A simple ansatz for the study of velocity autocorrelation functions in fluids at different timescales is proposed. The ansatz is based on an effective summation of the infinite continued fraction at a reasonable assumption about convergence of relaxa
