Nonlocal kinetic theory. I. Formation of correlations

Abstract

The formation of correlations due to collisions in an interacting Fermionic system is investigated. We present analytically the time dependent interaction energy with and without initial correlation. This short time behavior is characterized by the reduced density matrix possessing high energetic tails.

NONLOCAL KINETIC THEORY

Klaus Morawetz, Václav Špička, P. Lipavský

The short time behavior of a disturbed system is influenced by off-shell motion and best characterized by the reduced density matrix possessing high energetic tails. We present analytically the formation of correlations due to collisions in an interacting Fermionic system with and without initial correlation. After this short time regime the time evolution is controlled by small gradients. This leads to a nonlocal Boltzmann equation for the quasiparticle distribution and a functional relating the latter one to the reduced density matrix. The nonlocalities are presented as time and space shifts arising from gradient expansion and are leading to virial corrections in the thermodynamical limit.

Correlational latent heat by nonlocal quantum kinetic theory

Klaus Morawetz

A kinetic equation of nonlocal and noninstantaneous character unifies the achievements of transport in dense quantum gases with the Landau theory of quasiclassical transport in Fermi systems. Large cancellations in the off-shell motion appear, which are usually hidden in non-Markovian behaviors. The remaining corrections are expressed in terms of shifts in space and time that characterize the nonlocality of the scattering process. In this way, it is possible to recast quantum transport into a quasiclassical picture. In addition to the quasiparticle, the balance equations for density, momentum, energy, and entropy also include correlated two-particle contributions beyond the Landau theory. The medium effects on binary collisions are shown to mediate the latent heat, i.e., an energy conversion between correlation and thermal energy. For Maxwellian particles with time-dependent $s$-wave scattering, the correlated parts of the observables are calculated and a sign change of the latent heat is reported at a universal ratio of scattering length to the thermal de Broglie wavelength. This is interpreted as a change from correlational heating to cooling.

Nonlocal kinetic theory. II. Transport and virial corrections

Klaus Morawetz, Václav Špička, P. Lipavský

After the short time regime the time evolution is controlled by small gradients. This leads to a nonlocal Boltzmann equation for the quasiparticle distribution and a functional relating the latter one to the reduced density matrix. The nonlocalities are presented as time and space shifts arising from gradient expansion and are leading to virial corrections in equilibrium.

Kinetics of dense matter: Correlations and memory

V. G. Morozov

A link between correlation contributions to kinetic equations for dense quantum systems and the energy conservation is considered. In order that the energy be conserved by an approximate collision integral, the one-particle density matrix and the mean interaction energy are treated as independent state parameters. It is shown how the density operator method can be used to derive non-Markovian kinetic equations including the correlation effect associated with the energy conservation. A quantum generalization of the Enskog theory is discussed.

Bifurcation in kinetic equation for interacting Fermi systems

Klaus Morawetz

The recently derived nonlocal quantum kinetic equation for dense interacting Fermi systems combines time derivatives with finite time stepping known from the logistic mapping. This continuous delay differential equation is a consequence of the microscopic delay time representing the dynamics of the deterministic chaotic system. The responsible delay time is explicitly calculated and discussed for short-range correlations. As a novel feature oscillations in the time evolution of the distribution function itself appear and bifurcations up to chaotic behavior occur. The temperature and density conditions are presented where such oscillations and bifurcations arise indicating an onset of phase transition.
