High temperature convergence of the KMS boundary conditions: The Bose-Hubbard model on a finite graph

Abstract

The Kubo-Martin-Schwinger condition is a widely studied fundamental property in quantum statistical mechanics which characterises the thermal equilibrium states of quantum systems. In the seventies, G. Gallavotti and E. Verboven, proposed an analogue to the KMS condition for classical mechanical systems and highlighted its relationship with the Kirkwood-Salzburg equations and with the Gibbs equilibrium measures. In the present article, we prove that in a certain limiting regime of high temperature the classical KMS condition can be derived from the quantum condition in the simple case of the Bose-Hubbard dynamical system on a finite graph. The main ingredients of the proof are Golden-Thompson inequality, Bogoliubov inequality and semiclassical analysis.
