The partition function of multicomponent log-gases

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We give an expression for the partition function of a one-dimensional log-gas comprised of particles of (possibly) different integer charge at inverse temperature {�eta} = 1 (restricted to the line in the presence of a neutralizing field) in terms of the Berezin integral of an associated non- homogeneous alternating tensor. This is the analog of the de Bruijn integral identities [3] (for {�eta} = 1 and {�eta} = 4) ensembles extended to multicomponent ensembles.


Motivated by the previous research of the author on ensembles of random Hermitian matrices and their links with the equilibrium properties of interacting charged particles in a multicomponent gas, an expression is given for the partition function of the one-dimensional log-gas on a line for a specific value \(\beta =1\) of the inverse (equilibrium) temperature. The major technical input (preferred here in view of its computational effectiveness) is the Berezin integration over Grassmann algebras. The central result of the paper is that the partition function of the grand canonical ensemble of the multicomponent ensemble can be expressed as the projection onto the determinantal line of the exponential of a non-homogeneous alternating tensor. This projection is conveniently expressed in terms of the Berezin integral. A discussion is provided of simplest examples of multicomponent ensembles.
