4 Quantum mechanics at zero temperature Single Particle H 1 = L 2 (F, µ): Hilbert space for a single particle in state space F. H : H 1 H 1: self-adjoint Hamiltonian (energy) operator. State ψ H 1 evolves in time under the Schrödinger equation i tψ(t, x) = Hψ(t, x). The observables of the system (position, momentum, energy, ) are represented by self-adjoint operators. The expectation value of an observable A in state ψ H 1 is ψ, Aψ. Many Particles H cl N = H N 1 : Hilbert space for N classical particles. However, when one has N identical particles, the N-particle wavefunction obeys certain quantum statistics under particle exchange: f 1 f i f j f N = ± (f 1 f j f i f N ). +: Bose-Einstein statistics. Hilbert space is H N = Sym(H N 1 ). : Fermi-Dirac statistics. Hilbert space is H N = Antisym(H N 1 ). Hamiltonian, Schrödinger equation, observables follow similarly. Joe P.

5 Quantum mechanics of many particles at positive temperature Working in the grand canonical ensemble: F = N 0 H N, with H 0 = C: Fock space. For any self-adjoint op K on H 1, define its second quantization by dγ(k) = N 0 K N, where K 0 0 and K N (f 1 f j f N ) = N (f 1 Kf j f N ), N 1. j=1 N = dγ(1): number operator. β > 0: inverse temperature. µ inf Spec(H): chemical potential. (Encodes information about particle number.) Definition The Gibbs grand canonical state at (β, µ) is a linear functional ω β,µ over the quasi-local C -algebras such that the expected value of operator A is ω β,µ (A) = 1 Ξ β,µ Tr F(e β(dγ(h) µn) A). where Ξ β,µ := Tr F(e β(dγ(h) µn) ) is the grand canonical partition function. A Gibbs state is also a Kubo-Martin-Schwinger state at τ = iβ. Joe P. Chen (Cornell University) Bose gas in Sierpinski carpets Fractal Cornell 09/13/11 5 / 23
6 Example: Ideal Bose gas H N consists of one-body operators only. (No interaction amongst particles.) In this case the partition function can be expressed explicitly: log Ξ β,µ = Tr H1 log(1 e β(h µ) ). The expected values of particle number and energy can be obtained by taking derivatives of log Ξ: ω β,µ (N) = 1 β µ log Ξ = 1 TrH 1 e β(h µ) 1. ω β,µ (H) = log Ξ. β Rem. [, inf Spec(H)] µ ω β,µ (N) [0, ] is increasing and convex. Joe P. Chen (Cornell University) Bose gas in Sierpinski carpets Fractal Cornell 09/13/11 6 / 23
7 Ideal Bose gas in generalized Sierpinski carpets log Ξ β,µ = Tr H1 log(1 e β(h µ) ). ω β,µ (N) = Tr H1 1 e β(h µ) 1. Statement of the problem Compute log Ξ β,µ and ω β,µ (N) when F is a GSC, and the many-body particle system is of the following types: 1 (Massless) photon gas: H =, µ = 0. 2 Massive Bose gas (cold atoms): H =, µ inf Spec(H). We don t know the exact eigenvalues of. But it turns out that all we need to compute these quantities is a sharp estimate of the trace of the heat kernel. Joe P.

No closed form expression known. l 2 F BB showed that there exists subsequence {n j } such that, resp., the laws and the resolvents of X n j are tight. Any such limit process is a BM on the carpet F. If X is a limit process and T t its semigroup, define the Dirichlet energy on L 2 (F ) by 1 E BB (u) = sup u Ttu, u with natural domain. t>0 t It is strong local regular conservative, and is self-similar: m F E BB (u) = ρ F E BB (u φ i ).

12 Heat kernel estimates on GSCs Theorem (Barlow, Bass, Kusuoka, Zhou, ) ( p t(x, y) C 1t d H/d W exp C 2 ( x y d W t ) 1 ) d W 1. Here d H = log m F / log l F (Hausdorff), d W = log(ρ F m F )/ log l F (walk). d S = 2 dh = 2 log m F is the spectral dimension of the carpet. d W log(m F ρ F ) For any carpet, d W > 2 and 1 d S < d H, indicative of sub-gaussian diffusion. Theorem (Hambly 08, Kajino 08) There exists a (log ρ F )-periodic function G, bounded away from 0 and, such that the heat kernel trace K(t) := p t(x, x)µ(dx) = t d H/d W [G( log t) + o(1)] as t 0.

13 A better estimate of heat kernel trace Consider GSCs with Dirichlet b.c. on exterior boundary, and Neumann b.c. on the interior boundaries. Theorem (Kajino 09, in prep 11) For any GSC F R d, there exist continuous, (log ρ F )-periodic functions G k : R R for k = 0, 1,, d such that K(t) = d k=0 ( )) t d k /d W G k ( log t) + O exp ( ct d 1 W 1 as t 0, where d k := d H (F {x 1 = = x k = 0}). Rem 1. G 0 > 0 and G 1 < 0. Numerics suggest that G 0 is nonconstant. Rem 2. The analogous result for manifolds M d is K(t) = d t (d k)/2 G k + O(exp( ct 1 )) as t 0. k=0 Notation.

(Poles of ζ (s, 0), for GSC R 2 ) Im(s) Re(s) Using the Mittag-Leffler decomposition, we find that the simple poles of ζ (s) are (at most) d k=0 p Z { dk d W + 2πpi } =: log ρ F d k=0 p Z { dk,p ( with residues Res ζ, d ) k,p Ĝ k,p = 2 Γ (d k,p /2). 2 }, The poles of the spectral zeta fcn encode the dims of the relevant spectral volumes: { d On manifolds M d (d 1) :,,, 1 } , 0 { } dk,p On fractals:.

16 Meromorphic continuation of ζ Im(s) Re(s) Theorem (Steinhurst & Teplyaev 10) ζ (, γ) has a meromorphic continuation to all of C. The exponential tail in the HKT estimate is essential for the continuation. In particular, ζ (s, 0) is analytic for Re(s) < 0. Application: Casimir energy ζ ( 1/2). Joe P.

17 Photon gas in GSC: H =, µ = 0 Proposition The grand canonical partition function Ξ for a non-interacting, spinless photon gas in a bounded domain F is given by log Ξ = 1 πi σ+i σ i β 2t Γ(2t)ζ R (2t + 1)ζ (t)dt, where σ R, σ > d S/2, ζ R is the Riemann zeta function, and ζ is the spectral zeta function associated with the dimensionful Laplacian on F. Lemma Let F be a GSC of side L. Then the grand canonical partition function Ξ for an ideal spinless photon gas confined in F is given by log Ξ(L) = 2 d k=0 p Z ( ) dk,p L Γ (dk,p ) β Γ (d k,p /2) ζ R (d k,p + 1) Ĝ k,p + β ( 2L ζ 1 ). 2 We interpret E Cas := 1 2L ζ ( 1/2) as the Casimir energy, the energy of (zero-temperature) vacuum fluctuations.

18 Blackbody radiation in GSC Recall that the appropriate thermodynamic volume is the spectral volume (Akkermans, Dunne & Teplyaev 10) ( ) ( ) V S(Λ L ) = (4π) ds/2 ds Γ Res ζ, ds L d S. 2 2 Let E(L) := 1 V S (Λ L ) ω β,0(h) be the energy density of the photon gas in a GSC of side L. Proposition For large L, E(L) = 1 d S β d S+1 π Γ (d S+1)/2 + 1 β d S+1 8 Ĝ 0,0(4π) d S/2 ( ds p=1 ) ζ R (d S + 1) { log(l/β) 4πpi Re e log R } Γ(d 0,p) Γ(d ζ R(d 0,p + 0,p/2) 1)Ĝ0,p + o(1). First term is the classical Stefan-Boltzmann law. (cf. Landau-Lifshitz, Vol. 5) Second term is contributed by the tower of poles at Re(s) = d S/2. Equation of state: P = 1 d S E. Joe P. Chen (Cornell University) Bose gas in Sierpinski carpets Fractal Cornell 09/13/11 18 / 23
19 Massive Bose gas in GSC: H =, µ inf Spec(H) Proposition The grand canonical partition function Ξ for a non-interacting, spinless massive Bose gas in a bounded domain F is given by log Ξ(β, µ) = 1 2πi σ+i σ i ( ) L 2 t Γ(t)ζ R (t + 1)ζ (t, µ)dt. β Consider the unbounded carpet F = n=0 l n F F. We exhaust F by taking an increasing family of carpets {Λ n} n = {l n F F } n. Lemma As Λ n, the density of Bose gas in a GSC at (β, µ) is 1 ( )) ρ Λn (β, µ) = e mβµ mβ G 0 ( log m ds/2 + o(1). (4πβ) d S/2 Ĝ 0,0 (l F ) 2n m=1 In particular, the upper critical density ρ c (β) := lim sup Λn ρ Λn (β, 0) < iff d S > 2. Caveat: Numerics suggests that the infinite-volume limit does not exist!

20 Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in GSC Alternatively one could write ρ L (β, µ) = 1 V S(Λ L ) e mβµ K m=1 ( ) mβ. L 2 m=1 K(mt) < BM is transient. What is the significance of finite ρ c (β)? Theorem (C. 11) Assume d S > 2. For each ρ tot > 0, choose µ n to be the unique root of ρ Λn (β, µ n) = ρ tot. If ρ tot > ρ c (β), then lim Λn µ n = 0 and the lower bound on the density in the ground state ρ (β) := lim inf Λ n V S (Λ n) e β(e 0(Λ n) µ n) 1 = ρtot ρ c (β). Interpretation: Any Bose gas in excess of ρ c (β) must condense in the lowest eigenstate of the Laplacian. This is the fractal version of Bose-Einstein condensation, a genuine quantum phase transition. (In Euclidean setting: theory 1924, experimentally realized in R , Nobel Physics Prize 2001) Joe P. Chen (Cornell University) Bose gas in Sierpinski carpets Fractal Cornell 09/13/11 20 / 23
21 Criterion for BEC in GSC Theorem (C. 11) For an ideal massive Bose gas in an unbounded GSC, the following are equivalent: 1 Spectral dimension d S > 2. 2 (The BM whose infinitesimal generator is) the Laplacian is transient. 3 BEC exists at positive temperature. Transience BEC has been mentioned in the context of inhomogeneous graphs (Fidaleo, Guido, Isola; Matsui). Joe P.
