英文摘要：

We consider the dynamics of a harmonic crystal in $d$ dimensions with $n$ components, $d,n$ arbitrary, $d,n\ge 1$, and study the distribution $μ_t$ of the solution at time $t\in\R$. The initial measure $μ_0$ has a translation-invariant correlation matrix, zero mean, and finite mean energy density. It also satisfies a Rosenblatt- resp. Ibragimov-Linnik type mixing condition. The main result is the convergence of $μ_t$ to a Gaussian measure as $t\to\infty$. The proof is based on the long time asymptotics of the Green's function and on Bernstein's ``room-corridors'' method.

Harmonic Crystals in the Half-Space, I. Convergence to Equilibrium

We consider the dynamics of a harmonic crystal in the half-space with zero boundary condition. It is assumed that the initial date is a random function with zero mean, finite mean energy density which also satisfies a mixing condition of Rosenblatt or Ibragimov type. We study the distribution $μ_t$ of the solution at time $t\in\R$. The main result is the convergence of $μ_t$ to a Gaussian measure as $t\to\infty$ which is time stationary with a covariance inherited from the initial (in general, non-Gaussian) measure.

Harness processes and harmonic crystals

In the Hammersley harness processes the real-valued height at each site i in Z^d is updated at rate 1 to an average of the neighboring heights plus a centered random variable (the noise). We construct the process "a la Harris" simultaneously for all times and boxes contained in Z^d. With this representation we compute covariances and show L^2 and almost sure time and space convergence of the process. In particular, the process started from the flat configuration and viewed from the height at the origin converges to an invariant measure. In dimension three and higher, the process itself converg…

On two-temperature problem for harmonic crystals

We consider the dynamics of a harmonic crystal in $d$ dimensions with $n$ components,$d,n \ge 1$. The initial date is a random function with finite mean density of the energy which also satisfies a Rosenblatt- or Ibragimov-Linnik-type mixing condition. The random function converges to different space-homogeneous processes as $x_d\to\pm\infty$, with the distributions $μ_\pm$. We study the distribution $μ_t$ of the solution at time $t\in\R$. The main result is the convergence of $μ_t$ to a Gaussian translation-invariant measure as $t\to\infty$. The proof is based on the long time asymptotics of …

A Detailed Fluctuation Theorem for Heat Fluxes in Harmonic Networks out of Thermal Equilibrium

We continue the investigation, started in [J. Stat. Phys. 166, 926-1015 (2017)], of a network of harmonic oscillators driven out of thermal equilibrium by heat reservoirs. We study the statistics of the fluctuations of the heat fluxes flowing between the network and the reservoirs in the nonequilibrium steady state and in the large time limit. We prove a large deviation principle for these fluctuations and derive the fluctuation relation satisfied by the associated rate function.

On the energy current for harmonic crystals

We consider a $d$-dimensional harmonic crystal, $d\ge 1$, and study the Cauchy problem with random initial data. We assume that the random initial function is close to different translation-invariant processes for large values of $x_1,\dots,x_k$ with some $k\in\{1,\dots,d\}$. The distribution $μ_t$ of the solution at time $t\in\mathbb{R}$ is studied. We prove the convergence of correlation functions of the measures $μ_t$ to a limit for large times. The explicit formulas for the limiting correlation functions and for the energy current density (in mean) are obtained in the terms of the initial …

Non-equilibrium stationary state of a harmonic crystal with alternating masses

We analyze the non-equilibrium steady states (NESS) of a one dimensional harmonic chain of $N$ atoms with alternating masses connected to heat reservoirs at unequal temperatures. We find that the temperature profile defined through the local kinetic energy $T(j) \equiv {<p_j^2>}/{m_j}$, oscillates with period two in the bulk of the system. Depending on boundary conditions, either the heavier or the lighter particles in the bulk are hotter. We obtain exact expressions for the bulk temperature profile and steady state current in the limit $N \rightarrow \infty$. These depend on whether $N$ is od…

Rigorous Probabilistic Analysis of Equilibrium Crystal Shapes

The rigorous microscopic theory of equilibrium crystal shapes has made enormous progress during the last decade. We review here the main results which have been obtained, both in two and higher dimensions. In particular, we describe how the phenomenological Wulff and Winterbottom constructions can be derived from the microscopic description provided by the equilibrium statistical mechanics of lattice gases. We focus on the main conceptual issues and describe the central ideas of the existing approaches.

On convergence to equilibrium for one-dimensional chain of harmonic oscillators in the half-line

The initial-boundary value problem for an infinite one-dimensional chain of harmonic oscillators on the half-line is considered. The large time asymptotic behavior of solutions is studied. The initial data of the system are supposed to be a random function which has some mixing properties. We study the distribution $μ_t$ of the random solution at time moments $t\in\mathbb{R}$. The main result is the convergence of $μ_t$ to a Gaussian probability measure as $t\to\infty$. We find stationary states in which there is a non-zero energy current at origin.

Return to Equilibrium for an Anharmonic Oscillator coupled to a Heat Bath

We study a $C^*$-dynamical system describing a particle coupled to an infinitely extended heat bath at positive temperature. For small coupling constant we prove return to equilibrium exponentially fast in time. The novelty in this context is to model the particle by a harmonic or anharmonic oscillator, respectively. The proof is based on explicit formulas for the time evolution of Weyl operators in the harmonic oscillator case. In the anharmonic oscillator case, a Dyson's expansion for the dynamics is essential. Moreover, we show in the harmonic oscillator case, that $\R$ is the absolute cont…

Entanglement entropies of coupled harmonic oscillators

We investigate the quantum entanglement of systems of coupled harmonic oscillators on the basis of thermo-field dynamics (TFD). For coupled harmonic oscillators at equilibrium, the extended entanglement entropy is derived using the TFD method, and it is demonstrated to be controlled by temperature and coupling parameters. For non-equilibrium systems, in addition to temperature and coupling parameters, the time dependence of the extended entanglement entropy is calculated in accordance with the dissipative von Neumann equation, and the dissipative dynamics of the systems of coupled harmonic osc…

Fourier's Law for a Harmonic Crystal with Self-consistent Stochastic Reservoirs

We consider a d-dimensional harmonic crystal in contact with a stochastic Langevin type heat bath at each site. The temperatures of the "exterior" left and right heat baths are at specified values T_L and T_R, respectively, while the temperatures of the "interior" baths are chosen self-consistently so that there is no average flux of energy between them and the system in the steady state. We prove that this requirement uniquely fixes the temperatures and the self consistent system has a unique steady state. For the infinite system this state is one of local thermal equilibrium. The correspondi…

Equilibrium configurations of nematic liquid crystals on a torus

The topology and the geometry of a surface play a fundamental role in determining the equilibrium configurations of thin films of liquid crystals. We propose here a theoretical analysis of a recently introduced surface Frank energy, in the case of two-dimensional nematic liquid crystals coating a toroidal particle. Our aim is to show how a different modeling of the effect of extrinsic curvature acts as a selection principle among equilibria of the classical energy, and how new configurations emerge. In particular, our analysis predicts the existence of new stable equilibria with complex windin…
