Statistical mechanics of Hamiltonian adaptive resolution simulations.
The Adaptive Resolution Scheme (AdResS) is a hybrid scheme that allows to treat a molecular system with different levels of resolution depending on the location of the molecules. The construction of a Hamiltonian based on the this idea (H-AdResS) allows one to formulate the usual tools of ensembles and statistical mechanics. We present a number of exact and approximate results that provide a st...
متن کاملGeometry and Topology in Hamiltonian Dynamics and Statistical Mechanics
Springer 1 Introduction This book reports on an unconventional explanation of the origin of chaos in Hamiltonian dynamics and on a new theory of the origin of thermodynamic phase transitions. The mathematical concepts and methods used are borrowed from Riemannian geometry and from elementary differential topology, respectively. The new approach proposed also unveils deep connections between the...
متن کاملChaos and Statistical Mechanics in the Hamiltonian Mean Field model
We study the dynamical and statistical behavior of the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model in order to investigate the relation between microscopic chaos and phase transitions. HMF is a simple toy model of N fully-coupled rotators which shows a second order phase transition. The canonical thermodynamical solution is briefly recalled and its predictions are tested numerically at finite N . The Vl...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of non-hamiltonian systems: Traffic flow
Statistical mechanics of a small system of cars on a single-lane road is developed. The system is not characterized by a Hamiltonian but by a conditional probability of a velocity of a car for the given velocity and distance of the car ahead. Distribution of car velocities for various densities of a group of cars are derived as well as probabilities of density fluctuations of the group for diff...
متن کاملHamiltonian mechanics.
Comment on " Berry phase correction to electron density in solids " by Xiao et al. Abstract The main result of Xiao et al. In a recent paper on the semiclassical dynamics of a Bloch electron, Xiao, Shi and Niu [1] claim that, due to a Berry curvature term, Liouville's theorem on the conservation of the phase-space volume element would be violated, a fact which would have been overlooked so far....
