چکیده
We consider the Gibbs representation over space-time of non-equilibrium dynamics of Hamiltonian systems defined on a lattice with local interactions. We first write the corresponding action functional as a sum of local terms, defining a local action functional. We replace the local system by a translationinvariant system whose dynamics has an identical space-time characterization. We study in details the irreversible properties of the new dynamics, define the local conductivity and show its equivalence with the Green-Kubo formula. Given the definition of the local heat conductivity and using conservation of energy, we derive the shape of the temperature profile. Next, we find an explicit formula for the non-equilibrium stationary measure of harmonic systems. Finally, we apply our scheme to various approximations of anharmonic Hamiltonian models, show how to compute their thermal conductivity and recover results confirmed in numerical simulations.

متن کامل2 9 N ov 2 00 6 Collective behavior of interacting self - propelled particles
We discuss biologically inspired, inherently non-equilibrium self-propelled particle models, in which the particles interact with their neighbours by choosing at each time step the local average direction of motion. We summarize some of the results of large scale simulations and theoretical approaches to the problem.

We investigate DBI inflation using N multiple branes and show how the configuration is equivalent to a single wrapped D5-brane with flux. We then show how 1/N corrections can be implemented, and we examine the sound speed and levels of non-Gaussianities in two distinct cases. For models with constant warping we find that the non-Gaussian amplitude is bounded from above (as a function of γ). For...

In the context of confining gauge theories we study the flux tube generated by a pair of static sources belonging to higher rank representations of the gauge group. Using a simple geometric approach based on minimal surfaces describing the world-sheet of the underlying k-string, we infer logarithmic broadening of the flux tube as a function of source separation. It turns out that the coefficien...
