Monotonicity and Thermodynamic Limit for Short Range Disordered Models

Existence of the Thermodynamic Limit for Disordered Quantum Coulomb Systems

One of the main purposes of Statistical Physics is to understand the macroscopic behavior of microscopic systems. For regular matter, composed of negative (electrons) and positive (nuclei) charges, this question is highly non trivial because of the long range of the Coulomb potential. In 1966, Fisher and Ruelle have in [14] raised the important question of the stability of many-particle systems...

a study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns

attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...

Thermodynamic Identities and Symmetry Breaking in Short-Range Spin Glasses.

We present a technique to generate relations connecting pure state weights, overlaps, and correlation functions in short-range spin glasses. These are obtained directly from the unperturbed Hamiltonian and hold for general coupling distributions. All are satisfied in phases with simple thermodynamic structure, such as the droplet-scaling and chaotic pairs pictures. If instead nontrivial mixed-s...

Thermodynamic Limit for Polydisperse Fluids

We examine the thermodynamic limit of fluids of hard core particles that are polydisperse in size and shape. In addition, particles may interact magnetically. Free energy of such systems is a random variable because it depends on the choice of particles. We prove that the thermodynamic limit exists with probability 1, and is independent of the choice of particles. Our proof applies to polydispe...
