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 relaxation times of the higher order memory functions, which have a purely kinetic origin. The VAFs obtained within our approach are compared with the results of the Markovian approximation for memory kernels. It is shown that although in the overdamped regime both approaches agree to a large extent at the initial and intermediate times of the system evolution, our formalism yields power law relaxation of the VAFs which is not observed at the description with a finite number of the collective modes. Explicit expressions for the transition times from kinetic to hydrodynamic regimes are obtained from the analysis of the singularities of spectral functions in the complex frequency plane.

Velocity autocorrelation functions (VAF) of the fluids are studied on short- and long-time scales within a unified approach. This approach is based on an effective summation of the infinite continued fraction at a reasonable assumption about converge
nce of relaxation times of the high order memory functions, which have purely kinetic origin. The VAFs obtained within our method are compared with computer simulation data for the liquid Ne at different densities and the results, which follow from the Markovian approximation for the highest order kinetic kernels. It is shown that in all the thermodynamic points and at the chosen level of the hierarchy, our results agree much better with the MD data than those of the Markovian approximation. The density dependence of the transition time, needed for the fluid to attain the hydrodynamic stage of evolution, is evaluated. The common and distinctive features of our method are discussed in their relations to the generalized collective mode (GCM) theory, the mode coupling theory (MCT), and some other theoretical approaches.
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 study two bath models -- the Ohmic bath model and the Drude bath model and make a detailed comparison in various time-temperature regimes. For both bath models there is a competition between the cyclotron frequency and the viscous damping rate giving rise to a transition from an oscillatory to a monotonic behaviour as the damping rate is increased. In the zero point fluctuation dominated low temperature regime, non-trivial noise correlations lead to some interesting features in this transition. We study the role of the memory time scale which comes into play in the Drude model and study the effect of this additional time scale. We discuss the experimental implications of our analysis in the context of experiments in cold ions.
We describe a simple form of importance sampling designed to bound and compute large-deviation rate functions for time-extensive dynamical observables in continuous-time Markov chains. We start with a model, defined by a set of rates, and a time-exte
nsive dynamical observable. We construct a reference model, a variational ansatz for the behavior of the original model conditioned on atypical values of the observable. Direct simulation of the reference model provides an upper bound on the large-deviation rate function associated with the original model, an estimate of the tightness of the bound, and, if the ansatz is chosen well, the exact rate function. The exact rare behavior of the original model does not need to be known in advance. We use this method to calculate rate functions for currents and counting observables in a set of network- and lattice models taken from the literature. Straightforward ansatze yield bounds that are tighter than bounds obtained from Level 2.5 of large deviations via approximations that involve uniform scalings of rates. We show how to correct these bounds in order to recover the rate functions exactly. Our approach is complementary to more specialized methods, and offers a physically transparent framework for approximating and calculating the likelihood of dynamical large deviations.
We present an alternative derivation of the pair correlation function for simple classical fluids by using a variational approach. That approach involves the conditional probability p(3,..., N /1, 2) of an undefined system of N particles with respect
to a given pair (1,2), and the definition of a conditional entropy $sigma$(3,..., N /1, 2). An additivity assumption of $sigma$(3,..., N /1, 2) together with a superposition assumption for p(3 / 1, 2) allows deriving the pair probability p(1,2). We then focus onto the case of simple classical fluids, which leads to an integral, non-linear equation that formally allows computing the pair correlation function g(R). That equation admits the one resulting from the hyper netted chain approximation (and the Percus-Yevick approximation) as a limit case.
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 acc
ount 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.
