DOI: 10.1007/s00161-017-0615-5
Abstract: Representing polymers by random walks on a lattice is a fruitful approach largely exploited to study configurational statistics of polymer chains and to develop efficient Monte Carlo algorithms. Nevertheless, the stretching and the folding/unfolding of… read more here.

Abstract: The quantum Nash equilibrium in the thermodynamic limit is studied for games like quantum Prisoner’s dilemma and quantum game of Chicken. A phase transition is seen in both games as function of the entanglement in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1367-2630/ab5caf
Abstract: We consider simple mean field continuum models for first order liquid-liquid demixing and solid-liquid phase transitions and show how the Maxwell construction at phase coexistence emerges on going from finite-size closed systems to the thermodynamic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physreva.96.023610
Abstract: It is known that, in the thermodynamic limit, the Chern number of a translationally invariant system cannot change under unitary time evolutions that are smooth in momentum space. Yet a real-space counterpart of the Chern… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physreve.105.024142
Abstract: Traditional Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics does not apply to systems with unstable interactions, because for such systems the conventional thermodynamic limit does not exist. In unstable systems the ground state energy does not have an additive… read more here.
