Fluctuations and Order: Theory of Highly Correlated Electronic and Classical Systems

将研究电子和原子波动的作用及其在结构和电子秩序中的表现。特别关注准晶态存在的潜在微观原因，金属-绝缘体和液-气跃迁汇合处的多中心相互作用的作用，流动和局域电子系统中可能的新配对机制，以及一些解决重电子问题的新方法。它还寻求检查高度相关的金属流体的物理，以解决经典的逆问题，其中结构直接用于提取基本的相互作用，通过非均匀系统的理论追求液体表面和界面的性质，并研究复杂的流体和部分顺序的状态。

The role of electronic and atomic fluctuations and their manifestations in structural and electronic order will be examined. In particular focus will be on the underlying microscopic reasons for the existence of the quasicrystalline state, the role role of multicenter interactions at the confluence of the metal-insulator and liquid-vapor transition, on possible new pairing mechanisms in both itinerant and localized electron systems, and on some new approaaches to the heavy- electron problem. It also seeks to examine the physics of highly correlated metallic fluids, to address the classical inverse problem in which structure is directly used to extract fundamental interactions, to pursue through the theory of inhomogeneous systems the nature of liquid surfaces and interfaces, and to study complex fluids and states of partial order.
