Mean Field Approximations

Various mean field approximations at finite temperature are used for calculating ground state energies and propagators of the [Formula: see text] theory in two dimensions and quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In the case of the [Formula: see text] theory a symmetry restoration is observed above a critical coupling constant if a temperature independent renormalization is used. In the case of QCD the mean field approximation is insufficient but can be regarded as a starting point for more complicated approximations, which are discussed qualitatively.

We have applied the Glauber and Metropolis prescriptions to investigate the stationary states of the Ising model in one and two dimensions. We have employed the formalism of the master equation to follow the evolution of the system towards the stationary states. Although the Glauber and Metropolis transition rates lead the system to the same equilibrium states for the Ising model in the Monte Carlo simulations, we show that they can predict different results if we disregard the correlations between spins. The critical temperature of the one-dimensional Ising model cannot even be found by using the Metropolis algorithm and the mean field approximation. However, taking into account only correlations between nearest neighbor spins, the resulting stationary states become identical for both Glauber and Metropolis transition rates.

Shape Changes

The intrinsic quadrupole deformation has been calculated at finite temperature in 20 Ne both in the mean-field approximation and using an exact shell model diagonalization. The results support the view that the phase transition seen at finite temperature in mean-field calculations is not due to the change in nuclear shape from deformed to spherical, but rather is a collective-to-non-collective transition. Both calculations indicate that the average deformation of 20 Ne changes from β rms ≈0.31 at zero temperature to just over β rms =0.2 at T=3.0 MeV. The calculations also suggest that, in the mean-field approximation, the square of the quadrupole operator, Q[2]·Q[2], is a better indicator of shape changes than Q[2] itself.

Abstract We investigate chiral symmetry breaking in a model of Dirac fermions with a complexified coupling constant whose imaginary part represents dissipation. We introduce a chiral chemical potential and observe that for real coupling a relativistic BCS-BEC crossover is realized. We solve the model in the mean-field approximation and construct the phase diagram as a function of the complex coupling. It is found that the dynamical mass increases under dissipation, although the chiral symmetry gets restored if dissipation exceeds a threshold.

The sensitivity of static nucleon properties (magnetic moment, axial-vector coupling constant gA, pion–nucleon coupling constant gπNN and sigma commutator term σπN) to the quark and sigma masses have been investigated in the mean-field approximation. We have solved the field equations in the mean-field approximation with different sets of model parameters. Good results have been obtained in comparison with the other models and experimental data.

Mean Field Approximations

Mean-field models are an established method to analyze large stochastic systems with N interacting objects by means of simple deterministic equations that are asymptotically correct when N tends to infinity. For finite N, mean-field equations provide an approximation whose accuracy is model- and parameter-dependent. Recent research has focused on refining the approximation by computing suitable quantities associated with expansions of order $1/N$ and $1/N^2$ to the mean-field equation. In this paper we present a new method for refining mean-field approximations. It couples the master equation governing the evolution of the probability distribution of a truncation of the original state space with a mean-field approximation of a time-inhomogeneous population process that dynamically shifts the truncation across the whole state space. We provide a result of asymptotic correctness in the limit when the truncation covers the state space; for finite truncations, the equations give a correction of the mean-field approximation. We apply our method to examples from the literature to show that, even with modest truncations, it is effective in models that cannot be refined using existing techniques due to non-differentiable drifts, and that it can outperform the state of the art in challenging models that cause instability due orbit cycles in their mean-field equations.

The explicit expressions of the imaginary time normal and anomalous two–point Green functions in the t-J model of high-T c superconductivity without the single occupation constraint as well as those of the real time ones at a finite temperature are derived in the mean field approximation. The possible applications of these results are outlined.

The extended quark sigma model, which includes higher-order mesonic interactions is applied at finite temperature. The field equations are solved using the mean-field approximation. Nucleon properties such as the nucleon mass, the magnetic moments of the proton and neutron, and the pion-nucleon coupling constant are examined as functions of temperature. The obtained results indicate that the deconfinement phase transition conditions are satisfied in the present work at higher values of temperature. A comparison with other models is presented.

Recently, the study of complex networks led to the analysis of the so-called scale-free models in statistical mechanics. This study has increased its importance, thanks to the wide range of applications in numerous physical contexts; for example, one important question is to understand the behavior of various models on such networks. We start first by investigating the Ising model in the mean field approximation and on scale-free networks, studying especially the Ising model with annealed dilution and Clock model, with particular attention devoted to focusing on similarities between the mean field approximations with or without scale-free statistics. A particular emphasis is given to the possible practical applications of these results in other disciplines such as medicine and social science.

In the present work we have set up a scheme to treat field theoretical Lagrangians in the same bases of the well known non-relativistic many-body techniques. We show here that fermions and bosons can be treated quantum mechanically in a symmetric way and obtain results for the mean field approximation.
