Topics:

1. Diffusion-limited chemical reactions

  • pair annihilation, coagulation A+A -> 0,A
  • mean-field rate equation
  • Smoluchowski theory
  • two-species annihilation A+B -> 0
  • segregation for equal initial densities, reaction fronts

2. Fock representation of interacting particle systems

  • from the master equation to bosonic operator representation
  • observable averages, probability conservation
  • site occupation number restrictions and spin operator representations: asymmetric exclusion process as example
