A complete classification is given for one dimensional chains with nearest neighbor interactions having two states in each site, for which a matrix product ground state exists. The Hamiltonians and their corresponding matrix product ground states are explicitly obtained.
Effects of Lie type noncommutativity on thermodynamic properties of a system of free identical particles are investigated. A definition for finite volume of the configuration space is given, and the grandcanonical partition function in the thermodynamic limit is calculated. Two possible definitions for the pressure are discussed, which are equivalent when the noncommutativity vanishes. The thermodynamic observables are extracted from the partition function. Different limits are discussed where either the noncommutativity or the quantum effects are important. Finally specific cases are discussed where the group is SU(2) or SO(3), and the partition function of a nondegenerate gas is calculated.
A relativistic particle in an attractive Coulomb field as well as a static and spherically symmetric gravitational field is studied. The gravitational field is treated perturbatively and the energy levels are obtained for both spin 0 (Klein-Gordon) and spin 1/2 (Dirac) particles. The results are shown to coincide with each other as well as the result of the nonrelativistic (Schrodinger) equation in the nonrelativistic limit.
An extension of the Kinetic Ising model with nonuniform coupling constants on a one-dimensional lattice with boundaries is investigated, and the relaxation of such a system towards its equilibrium is studied. Using a transfer matrix method, it is shown that there are cases where the system exhibits a dynamical phase transition. There may be two phases, the fast phase and the slow phase. For some region of the parameter space, the relaxation time is independent of the reaction rates at the boundaries. Changing continuously the reaction rates at the boundaries, however, there is a point where the relaxation times begins changing, as a continuous (nonconstant) function of the reaction rates at the boundaries, so that at this point there is a jump in the derivative of the relaxation time with respect to the reaction rates at the boundaries.
The most general nonuniform reaction-diffusion models on a one-dimensional lattice with boundaries, for which the time evolution equations of corre- lation functions are closed, are considered. A transfer matrix method is used to find the static solution. It is seen that this transfer matrix can be obtained in a closed form, if the reaction rates satisfy certain conditions. We call such models superautonomous. Possible static phase transitions of such models are investigated. At the end, as an example of superau- tonomous models, a nonuniform voter model is introduced, and solved explicitly.
A nonuniform extension of the Glauber model on a one-dimensional lattice with boundaries is investigated. Based on detailed balance, reaction rates are proposed for the system. The static behavior of the system is investigated. It is shown that there are cases where the system exhibits a static phase transition, which is a change of behavior of the static profile of the expectation values of the spins near end points.
Quantum mechanics of models is considered which are constructed in spaces with Lie algebra type commutation relations between spatial coordinates. The case is specialized to that of the group SU(2), for which the formulation of the problem via the Euler parameterization is also presented. SU(2)-invariant systems are discussed, and the corresponding eigenvalue problem for the Hamiltonian is reduced to an ordinary differential equation, as it is the case with such models on commutative spaces.
The Poisson structure is constructed for a model in which spatial coordinates of configuration space are noncommutative and satisfy the commutation relations of a Lie algebra. The case is specialized to that of the group SU(2), for which the counterpart of the angular momentum, as well as the Euler parameterization of the phase space are introduced. SU(2)-invariant classical systems are discussed, and it is observed that the path of particle can be obtained by the solution of a first-order equation, as the case with such models on commutative spaces. The examples of free particle, rotationally-invariant potentials, and specially the isotropic harmonic oscillator are investigated in more detail.
The possibility is examined that a model based on space noncommutativity of linear type can explain why photons from distant sources with multi-TeV energies can reach earth. In particular within a model in which space coordinates satisfy the algebra of SU(2) Lie group, it is shown that there is the possibility that the pair production through the reaction of CMB and energetic photons would be forbidden kinematically.
A system of particles is studied in which the stochastic processes are one-particle type-change (or one-particle diffusion) and multi-particle annihilation. It is shown that, if the annihilation rate tends to zero but the initial values of the average number of the particles tends to infinity, so that the annihilation rate times a certain power of the initial values of the average number of the particles remain constant (the double scaling) then if the initial state of the system is a multi-Poisson distribution, the system always remains in a state of multi-Poisson distribution, but with evolving parameters. The large time behavior of the system is also investigated. The system exhibits a dynamical phase transition. It is seen that for a k-particle annihilation, if k is larger than a critical value k_c, which is determined by the type-change rates, then annihilation does not enter the relaxation exponent of the system; while for k < k_c, it is the annihilation (in fact k itself) which determines the relaxation exponent.
The most general reaction-diffusion model on a Cayley tree with nearest-neighbor interactions is introduced, which can be solved exactly through the empty-interval method. The stationary solutions of such models, as well as their dynamics, are discussed. Concerning the dynamics, the spectrum of the evolution Hamiltonian is found and shown to be discrete, hence there is a finite relaxation time in the evolution of the system towards its stationary state.
The most general local Markovian stochastic model is investigated, for which it is known that the evolution equation is the Fokker-Planck equation. Special cases are investigated where uncorrelated initial states remain uncorrelated. Finally, stochastic one-dimensional fields with local interactions are studied that have kink-solutions.
A two-parameter family of discrete-time exactly-solvable exclusion processes on a one-dimensional lattice is introduced, which contains the asymmetric simple exclusion process and the drop-push model as particular cases. The process is rewritten in terms of boundary conditions, and the conditional probabilities are calculated using the Bethe-ansatz. This is the discrete-time version of the continuous-time processes already investigated in [1-3]. The drift- and diffusion-rates of the particles are also calculated for the two-particle sector.
The most general one dimensional reaction-diffusion model with nearest-neighbor interactions solvable through the empty interval method, and without any restriction on the particle-generation from two adjacent empty sites is studied. It is shown that turning on the reactions which generate particles from two adjacent empty sites, results in a gap in the spectrum of the evolution operator (or equivalently a finite relaxation time).
Multi-species reaction-diffusion systems, with more-than-two-site interaction on a one-dimensional lattice are considered. Necessary and sufficient constraints on the interaction rates are obtained, that guarantee the closedness of the time evolution equation for $E^{\mathbf a}_n(t)$'s, the expectation value of the product of certain linear combination of the number operators on $n$ consecutive sites at time $t$.
The evolution of the two-point functions of autonomous one-dimensional single-species reaction-diffusion systems with nearest-neighbor interaction and translationally-invariant initial conditions is investigated. It is shown that the dynamical phase structure of such systems consists of five phases. As an example, a one-parameter family is introduced which can be in each of these phases.
A family of boundary conditions corresponding to exclusion processes is introduced. This family is a generalization of the boundary conditions corresponding to the simple exclusion process, the drop-push model, and the one-parameter solvable family of pushing processes with certain rates on the continuum [1-3]. The conditional probabilities are calculated using the Bethe ansatz, and it is shown that at large times they behave like the corresponding conditional probabilities of the family of diffusion-pushing processes introduced in [1-3].
Perturbations around autonomous one-dimensional single-species reaction-diffusion systems are investigated. It is shown that the parameter space corresponding to the autonomous systems is divided into two parts: In one part, the system is stable against the perturbations, in the sense that largest relaxation time of the one-point functions changes continuously with perturbations. In the other part, however, the system is unstable against perturbations, so that any small perturbation drastically modifies the large-time behavior of the one-point functions.
