Some Ill-Formulated Problems on Regular and Messy Behavior in Statistical Mechanics and Smooth Dynamics for Which I Would Like the Advice of Yasha Sinai
Statistical mechanics of quantum systems of particles
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that methods applied earlier to classical systems may be extended to quantum systems of particles interacting by a two-body potential, and the existence of a limit for the free energy per particle when the system becomes infinite was proven.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and entropy production in a classical infinite system of rotators
David Ruelle,David Ruelle +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze the dynamics of a simple but nontrivial classical Hamiltonian system of infinitely many coupled rotators and discuss several possible definitions of the entropy associated with a finite or infinite region, or with a partition of the system into a finite number of pieces.
Book ChapterDOI
Is There a Unified Theory of Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics
TL;DR: In this paper, a discussion of a certain number of questions that occur naturally in the perspective of creating a unified theory of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics is presented in the context of statistical mechanics.
