On the basis of the semiclassical approximation, a new formula is proposed to evaluate the partition function of free internal rotation. This formula has correct limiting behavior and for a given temperature it gives accurate numerical values for the partition function and related thermodynamic func
The stretching vibration-rotation Hamiltonian of tetrahedral molecules is derived in the local-mode model. The result shows that the effective rotational Hamiltonian of a local-mode state gives rise to symmetric-top rotational energy levels, which are quantitatively in good agreement with experiment
We use a Hodge decomposition and its generalization to non-abelian flat vector bundles to calculate the partition function for abelian and non-abelian BF theories in \(n\) dimensions. This enables us to provide a simple proof that the partition function is related to the Ray-Singer torsion defined o
