Ergodic theory, infinite products, and long time behavior in Hermitian models

Ergodic theory has been approached from the side of the time averages with correlation functions from many-body models. The condition for ergodic behavior is formulated in terms of infinite products of certain numbers associated with time evolution. Physical properties that make a model ergodic are...

Summary:Ergodic theory has been approached from the side of the time averages with correlation functions from many-body models. The condition for ergodic behavior is formulated in terms of infinite products of certain numbers associated with time evolution. Physical properties that make a model ergodic are identified.
