Hajime Mori

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hajime Mori ( Japanese 森 肇 , Mori Hajime , in Anglo-Saxon literature also according to the Kunrei system: Hazime Mori ; * 1926 ) is a Japanese, theoretical physicist who deals with statistical mechanics of non-equilibrium and chaos theory.

In the 1950s he was at the University of Kyūshū and in the 1960s at the Research Institute for Fundamental Physics of the University of Kyoto . He was later a professor at Kyushu University, where he retired in 1990.

In the mid-1960s, based on the work of Robert Zwanzig, Mori developed the Mori- Zwanzig or Mori theory , in which, with a projection operator formalism (irreversible at the time) equations of motion for collective degrees of freedom from the microscopic Liouville-von-Neumann- Equations are obtained (see Nakajima twenty equation ).

In 1968 he received the Nishina Prize .
