Coarse-graining schemes for stochastic lattice systems with short and long-range interactions
We develop coarse-graining schemes for stochastic many-particle microscopic
models with competing short- and long-range interactions on a d-dimensional
lattice. We focus on the coarse-graining of equilibrium Gibbs states and using
cluster expansions we analyze the corresponding renormalization group map. We
quantify the approximation properties of the coarse-grained terms arising from
different types of interactions and present a hierarchy of correction terms. We
derive semi-analytical numerical schemes that are accompanied with a posteriori
error estimates for coarse-grained lattice systems with short and long-range
interactions.Comment: 31 pages, 2 figure
Multispecies virial expansions
We study the virial expansion of mixtures of countably many different types of particles. The main tool is the Lagrange–Good inversion formula, which has other applications such as counting coloured trees or studying probability generating functions in multi-type branching processes. We prove that the virial expansion converges absolutely in a domain of small densities. In addition, we establish that the virial coefficients can be expressed in terms of two-connected graphs
Convergence of density expansions of correlation functions and the Ornstein-Zernike equation
We prove absolute convergence of the multi-body correlation functions as a power series in the density uniformly in their arguments. This is done by working in the context of the cluster expansion in the canonical ensemble and by expressing the correlation functions as the derivative of the logarithm of an appropriately extended partition function. In the thermodynamic limit, due to combinatorial cancellations, we show that the coeffi- cients of the above series are expressed by sums over some class of two-connected graphs. Furthermore, we prove the convergence of the density expansion of the “direct correlation function” which is based on a completely different approach and it is valid only for some inte- gral norm. Precisely, this integral norm is suitable to derive the Ornstein-Zernike equation. As a further outcome, we obtain a rigorous quantification of the error in the Percus-Yevick approximation
