چکیده

Statistical mechanics is a branch of physics that applies probability theory, which contains mathematical tools for dealing with large populations, to the study of the thermodynamic behavior of systems composed of a large number of particles. A deep connection between probability theory and physics has been discovered in the research of statistical mechanics. The simplest model in statistical mechanics is the ideal gas, in which molecules have no interaction with each other. The ideal gas is the form used in physics for the Poisson firld in mathematics. Besides the concepts normally usde in this context in mathematics such as N(X) which is the random numbers of molecules in a set X, there is also a formule for the pressure p. Explicit calculation of Poisson Field derives the law for the ideal gas, for example, the Ideal Gas Law p|Λ| = T < N(X) >, where p, |Λ|, T and < N(X) > are pressure, volume, temperature and the expected value of number of molecules respectively. See [1] for more details. What if the molecules have an interaction between each other? Under this assumption, the ideal gas model is no longer correct. The Mayer expansion give a method to calculate the pressure of such system. In particular, the monomer-dimer system is a canonical ensemble that models problems involving a diatomic gas, like hydrogen or oxygen, whose molecules are composed only of two atoms. A monomer-dimer system is defined by a graph G = (E, V ) and a set of dimers (covering an edge with its two vertices) and monomers (covering one vertex) on G. The dimers and monomers have exclusion interaction and thus satisfy the condition of compatibility (which will be defined in section 2). The Mayer expansion give a expression about the pressure of the monomer-dimer system (in section 3). However, the expansion need the conditions of low density to be convergent. Our aim is to find method to extend the Mayer expansion to a larger

Matching Measure, Benjamini–Schramm Convergence and the Monomer–Dimer Free Energy

We define the matching measure of a lattice L as the spectral measure of the tree of self-avoiding walks in L. We connect this invariant to the monomerdimer partition function of a sequence of finite graphs converging to L. This allows us to express the monomer-dimer free energy of L in terms of the matching measure. Exploiting an analytic advantage of the matching measure over the Mayer series...

Power series expansions for the planar monomer-dimer problem

We compute the free energy of the planar monomer-dimer model. Unlike the classical planar dimer model, an exact solution is not known in this case. Even the computation of the low-density power series expansion requires heavy and nontrivial computations. Despite the exponential computational complexity, we compute almost three times more terms than were previously known. Such an expansion provi...

Electron impact fragmentation of size-selected krypton clusters.

Clusters of krypton are generated in a supersonic expansion and size selected by deflection from a helium target beam. By measuring angular distributions for different fragment masses and time-of-flight distributions for fixed deflection angles and fragment masses, the complete fragmentation patterns for electron impact ionization at 70 eV are obtained from the dimer to the heptamer. For each o...

A note on Lee-Yang zeros in the negative half-plane.

We obtain lower bounds on the inverse compressibility of systems whose Lee-Yang zeros of the grand-canonical partition function lie in the left half of the complex fugacity plane. This includes in particular systems whose zeros lie on the negative real axis such as the monomer-dimer system on a lattice. We also study the virial expansion of the pressure in powers of the density for such systems...

Cross-monomer substrate contacts reposition the Hsp90 N-terminal domain and prime the chaperone activity.

The ubiquitous molecular chaperone Hsp90 plays a critical role in substrate protein folding and maintenance, but the functional mechanism has been difficult to elucidate. In previous work, a model Hsp90 substrate revealed an activation process in which substrate binding accelerates a large open/closed conformational change required for ATP hydrolysis by Hsp90. While this could serve as an elega...
