v 1 5 O ct 1 99 9 The existence of Burnett coefficients in the periodic Lorentz gas
نویسنده
چکیده
The linear super-Burnett coefficient gives corrections to the diffusion equation in the form of higher derivatives of the density. Like the diffusion coefficient, it can be expressed in terms of integrals of correlation functions, but involving four different times. The power law decay of correlations in real gases (with many moving particles) and the random Lorentz gas (with one moving particle and fixed scatterers) are expected to cause the super-Burnett coefficient to diverge in most cases. Here we show that the expression for the super-Burnett coefficient of the periodic Lorentz gas converges as a result of exponential decay of correlations and a nontrivial cancellation of divergent contributions.

The Burnett expansion of the periodic Lorentz gas
Recently, stretched exponential decay of multiple correlations in the periodic Lorentz gas has been used to show the convergence of a series of correlations which has the physical interpretations as the fourth order Burnett coefficient, a generalization of the diffusion coefficient. Here the result is extended to include all higher order Burnett coefficients, and give a plausible argument that ...

The main result of this paper is the evidence of an explicit linearization of dynamical systems of Ruijsenaars-Schneider (RS) type and of the perturbations introduced by F. Calogero of these systems with all orbits periodic of same period. Several other systems share the existence of this explicit lineariza-tion, among them, the Calogero-Moser system (with and without external potential) and th...

متن کاملThe Distribution of the Free Path Lengths in the Periodic Two-dimensional Lorentz Gas in the Small-scatterer Limit
Abstract. We study the free path length and the geometric free path length in the model of the periodic two-dimensional Lorentz gas (Sinai billiard). We give a complete and rigorous proof for the existence of their distributions in the smallscatterer limit and explicitly compute them. As a corollary one gets a complete proof for the existence of the constant term c = 2−3 ln 2+ 27ζ(3) 2π2 in the...
