Time-ordered products and Schwinger functions
Abstract : It is shown that every system of time-ordered products for a local field theory determines a related system of Schwinger functions possessing an extended form of Osterwalder-Schrader positivity and that the converse is true provided…
Some Remarks on the location of zeroes of the partition function for lattice systems
Abstract : We use techniques which generalize the Lee-Yang circle theorem to investigate the distribution of zeroes of the partition function for various classes of classical lattice systems.
Small random perturbations of dynamical systems and the definition of attractors
Abstract : The strange attractors plotted by computers and seen in physical experiments do not necessarily have an open basin of attraction. In view of this we study a new definition of attractors based on ideas of Conley. We argue that the…
Scaling of Mandelbrot sets generated by critical point preperiodicity
Astract : Letz?f?(z) be a complex holomorphic function depending holomorphically on the complex parameter ?. If, for ?=0, a critical point off0 falls after a finite number of steps onto an unstable fixed point off0, then, in the parameter space, near…
Renormalization of non polynomial Lagrangians in Jaffe's class
Abstract : t, It is shown how a renormalized perturbation series can be defined for a
theory with strictly locaI, non-polynomial, interacting Lagrangian

Remarks on two theorems of E. Lieb
Abstract : The concavity of two functions of a positive matrixA, Tr exp(B + logA) and TrA r KA p K* (whereB=B* andK are fixed matrices), recently proved by Lieb, can also be obtained by using the theory of Herglotz functions.
On the Nature of turbulence
Abstract : A mechanism for the genetration of turbulence and related phenomena in dissipative systems is proposed.
On the Existence of fixed points of the composition operator for circle maps
Abstract : In the theory of circle maps with golden ratio rotation number formulated by Feigenbaum, Kadanoff, and Shenker [FKS], and by Ostlund, Rand, Sethna, and Siggia [ORSS], a central role is played by fixed points of a certain composition…
Mean entropy of States in classical statistical mechanics
Abstract : The equilibrium states for an infinite system of classical mechanics may be represented by states over Abelian C* algebras. We consider here continuous and lattice systems and define a mean entropy for their states. The properties of this…
Integral representation of states on a C*-algebras
Abstract : Let E be the compact set of states on a C?-algebra U with identity. We discuss the representations of a state ? as barycenter of a probability measure ? on E. Examples of such representations are the central decomposition and the ergodic…
Bifurcations in the presence of a symmetry group
Abstract : Let the origin O of a Banach space E be a fixed point of a diffeomorphism or a critical point of a vector, assuming equivariance under a linear group of isometries of E. Explicit techniques are presented to handle the generalization of the…
Analyticity properties of the Feigenbaum function

A Variational formulation of equilibrium statistical mechanics and the Gibbs phase rule
Abstract : It is shown that for an infinite lattice system, thermodynamic equilibrium is the solution of a variational problem involving a mean entropy of states introduced earlier [2]. As an application, a version of the Gibbs phase rule is proved.
A Heuristic theory of phase transitions
Abstract : Let Z be a suitable Banach space of interactions for a lattice spin system. If n+1 thermodynamic phases coexist for ?0 ?Z, it is shown that a manifold of codimension n of coexistence of (at least) n+1 phases passes through ?0. There are…
