An algebraic approach to coarse graining
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose that Kreimer’s method of Feynman diagram renormalization via a Hopf algebra of rooted trees can be fruitfully employed in the analysis of block spin renormalization or coarse graining of inhomogeneous statistical systems. Examples of such systems include spin foam formulations of non-perturbative quantum gravity as well as lattice gauge and spin systems on irregular lattices and/or with spatially varying couplings. We study three examples which are Z2 lattice gauge theory on irregular 2-dimensional lattices, Ising/Potts models with varying bond strengths and (1 + 1)-dimensional spin foam models.

A coarse-graining approach for molecular simulation that retains the dynamics of the all-atom reference system by implementing hydrodynamic interactions.
We report on a new approach for deriving coarse-grained intermolecular forces that retains the frictional contribution that is often discarded by conventional coarse-graining methods. The approach is tested for water and an aqueous glucose solution, and the results from the new implementation for coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation show remarkable agreement with the dynamics obtained f...
متن کاملInvestigating Emergence by Coarse Graining Elementary Cellular Automata
We extend coarse graining of cellular automata to investigate aspects of emergence. From the total coarse graining approach introduced by Israeli and Goldenfeld, Coarsegraining of cellular automata, emergence, and the predictability of complex systems, Phys. Rev. E, 2006, we devise partial coarse graining, and show qualitative differences in the results of total and partial coarse graining. Mut...
متن کاملMultiscale coarse-graining of ionic liquids.
A recently developed multiscale coarse-graining (MS-CG) approach for obtaining coarse-grained force fields from fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulation is applied to the challenging case of the EMIM+NO3- ionic liquid. The force-matching in the MS-CG methodology is accomplished with an explicit separation of bonded and nonbonded forces. While the nonbonded forces are adopted from this forc...
متن کاملSystematic Coarse-Graining of Microscale Polymer Models as Effective Elastic Chains
One of the key goals of macromolecular modeling is to elucidate how macroscale physical properties arise from the microscale behavior of the polymer constituents. For many biological and industrial applications, a direct simulation approach is impractical due to to the wide range of length scales that must be spanned by the model, necessitating physically sound and practically relevant procedur...
متن کاملA coarse graining method for the identification of transition rates between molecular conformations.
The coarse graining method to be advocated in this paper consists of two main steps. First, the propagation of an ensemble of molecular states is described as a Markov chain by a transition probability matrix in a finite state space. Second, we obtain metastable conformations by an aggregation of variables via Robust Perron Cluster Analysis (PCCA+). Up to now, it has been an open question as to...
