Topics in quantum statistical mechanics and operator algebras
David Ruelle
The language of operator algebras is of great help for the formulation of questions and answers in quantum statistical mechanics. In Chapter 1 we present a minimal mathematical int…
Grace-like polynomials
David Ruelle
Results of somewhat mysterious nature are known on the location of zeros of certain polynomials associated with statistical mechanics (Lee-Yang circle theorem) and also with graph…
A remark on the equivalence of isokinetic and isoenergetic thermostats in the thermodynamic limit
D. Ruelle
The Gaussian isokinetic and isoenergetic thermostats of Hoover and Evans are formally equivalent as remarked by Gallavotti, Rondoni and Cohen. But outside of equilibrium the fluctu…
Natural nonequilibrium states in quantum statistical mechanics
David Ruelle
A quantum spin system is discussed, where a heat flow between infinite reservoirs takes place in a finite region. A time dependent force may also be acting. Our analysis is based o…
