## Abstract A diagram expansion is proposed for calculating traces of the kind __Tr{Ae^βitL^B__} which are of interest for calculating time correlation functions and expectation values in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. Arbitrary initial conditions are considered. In the classical limit the d
A review and nontechnical exposition of recent studies on the relevance of time reversal, on its spontaneous breakdowns, and on its possible resurgence as a weaker symmetry that still anticommutes with time evolution are given. ## 1. Time reversal and irreversibility This review illustrates joint
Dynamical properties of quantum many-body systems, e.g., the electron gas, lattice spins are usually studied via frequency moment sum rules. For example, the dynamic structure factor of the density-density response function in an interacting electron gas can be given a continued fraction expansion i
## Abstract Motivated by the dynamics of twisted biopolymers such as DNA and filaments of __Bacillus subtilis__, we formulate the overβdamped dynamics of a twisted elastic rod. The development exploits the βnaturalβ frame, in which curve dynamics are described by a pair of nonβlinear partial differ
