Free fermions in 1 dimension Fermions are particles that repel one another. In 1 dimension, log(Z)/ -Li3/2(-) density / -Li1/2(-). Same equations for lattice paths when (presumed) ratchet number is 0. When (presumed) ratchet number is nonzero, behavior differs from free fermions.
Resonance Many physical systems exhibit resonance when ratios of frequencies nearly rational. Does resonance for lattice paths resemble resonance in other systems?
