Khinchin's ergodicity and typicality in statistical mechanics

Dario Lucente, Marco Baldovin, Giacomo Gradenigo +1

The formulation of statistical mechanics in terms of ensembles, originally proposed by Gibbs, has proved to be extremely effective in describing the equilibrium state of many-parti…

On the foundations of statistical mechanics

Marco Baldovin, Giacomo Gradenigo, Angelo Vulpiani +1

Although not as wide, and popular, as that of quantum mechanics, the investigation of fundamental aspects of statistical mechanics constitutes an important research field in the bu…

Symplectic quantization III: Non-relativistic limit

Giacomo Gradenigo, Roberto Livi, Luca Salasnich

First of all we shortly illustrate how the symplectic quantization scheme [Gradenigo and Livi, 2021] can be applied to a relativistic field theory with self-interaction. Taking ins…

Thermalization without chaos in harmonic systems

Niccolò Cocciaglia, Angelo Vulpiani, Giacomo Gradenigo

Recent numerical results showed that thermalization of Fourier modes is achieved in short time-scales in the Toda model, despite its integrability and the absence of chaos. Here we…

First-order condensation transition in the position distribution of a run-and-tumble particle in one dimension

Francesco Mori, Giacomo Gradenigo, Satya N. Majumdar

We consider a single run-and-tumble particle (RTP) moving in one dimension. We assume that the velocity of the particle is drawn independently at each tumbling from a zero-mean Gau…

Solving the fully-connected spherical -spin model with the cavity method: equivalence with the replica results

Giacomo Gradenigo, Maria Chiara Angelini, Luca Leuzzi +1

The spherical -spin is a fundamental model for glassy physics, thanks to its analytic solution achievable via the replica method. Unfortunately the replica method has some drawb…
