New duality relations connect soft pair potentials to their duals, enabling insights into ground states of short- and long-ranged potentials. This work also provides bounds on system energies and identifies unique phase transition behaviors.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed matter physics
  • Statistical mechanics
  • Mathematical physics

Background:

  • Understanding the relationship between inter-particle potentials and system properties is crucial in physics.
  • Duality relations offer powerful tools for bridging different physical regimes.
  • Ground states of systems with varying interaction ranges present distinct challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive novel duality relations for soft pair potentials.
  • To leverage these relations for insights into classical ground states.
  • To explore implications for phase transitions and energy bounds.

Main Methods:

  • Derivation of duality relations linking potential energy and its Fourier transform.
  • Application of these relations to analyze ground states of short- and long-ranged potentials.
