The 2017 SNOOK PRIZES in Computational Statistical Mechanics
The 2017 Snook Prize has been awarded to Kenichiro Aoki for his exploration of chaos in Hamiltonian φ4 models. His work addresses symmetries, thermalization, and Lyapunov instabilities in few-particle dynamical systems. A companion paper by Timo Hofmann and Jochen Merker is devoted to the explor ...
Time-Symmetry Breaking in Hamiltonian Mechanics
Hamiltonian trajectories are strictly time-reversible. Any time series of Hamiltonian coordinates f q g satisfying Hamilton’s motion equations will likewise satisfy them when played “backwards”, with the corresponding momenta changing signs : f +p g
