Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Presently, the study of quantum aspects of the universe is experiencing a strong comeback. Several tools and techniques for studying the various quantum aspects of the universe are proving to be extremely significant and enlightening. The study of such issues explores various unknown cosmological, qunatum gravity and quantum field theory implications and applications in our universe. This Special Edition of Symmetry is completely devoted to recent developments in quantum mechanical and field theoretical aspects of our universe, with a special focus on quantum field theory aspects of cosmology. All related articles are invited to be submitted for this Special Issue.

The topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:

  1. Quantum aspects in statistical field theory;
  2. Chaos and complexity from holography and quantum field theories;
  3. Eigenstate thermalization hypothesis and disorder averaging in quantum gravity;
  4. Fluctuation and dissipation theorem;
  5. Replica trick, islands and wormholes;
  6. Quantum chaos and quantum quench;
  7. Black hole information paradox and evaporation issue;
  8. Various aspects of AdS/CMT;
  9. Quantum entanglement and its connection to holography and quantum field theories.

It is difficult to imagine an isolated classical object which possess different moments of inertia when it is uniformly rotated about the same axis with the same angular frequency in opposite, clockwise and counterclockwise, directions. We argue that due to quantum effects, certain (semi-) conductors should exhibit asymmetry in their mechanical and conducting properties with respect to the opposite rotations. We show that a cylinder made of a suitably chosen semiconductor, coated in a metallic film and placed in the magnetic-field background, can serve as a “rotational diode”, which conducts electricity only at a specific range of angular frequencies. The critical angular frequency and the direction of rotation can be tuned with the magnetic field’s strength. Mechanically, the rotational diode possesses different moments of inertia when rotated in clockwise and counterclockwise directions. These effects emerge as a particularity of the Fermi-Dirac statistics of electrons in rotating conductors. Full article

We review a non-relativistic current algebra symmetry approach to constructing the Bogolubov generating functional of many-particle distribution functions and apply it to description of invariantly reduced Hamiltonian systems of the Boltzmann type kinetic equations, related to naturally imposed constraints on many-particle correlation functions. As an interesting example of deriving Vlasov type kinetic equations, we considered a quantum-mechanical model of spinless particles with delta-type interaction, having applications for describing so called Benney-type hydrodynamical praticle flows. We also review new results on a special class of dynamical systems of Boltzmann–Bogolubov and Boltzmann–Vlasov type on infinite dimensional functional manifolds modeling kinetic processes in many-particle media. Based on algebraic properties of the canonical quantum symmetry current algebra and its functional representations, we succeeded in dual analysis of the infinite Bogolubov hierarchy of many-particle distribution functions and their Hamiltonian structure. Moreover, we proposed a new approach to invariant reduction of the Bogolubov hierarchy on a suitably chosen correlation function constraint and deduction of the related modified Boltzmann–Bogolubov kinetic equations on a finite set of multi-particle distribution functions. There are also presented results of application of devised methods to describing kinetic properties of a many-particle system with an adsorbent surface, in particular, the corresponding kinetic equation for the occupation density distribution function is derived.
