Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the stability of the configurations of harmonic oscillator potential that are directly proportional to the square of the displacement. We derive expressions for fluctuations in partition function due to variations of the parameters, viz. the mass, temperature and the frequency of oscillators. Here, we introduce the Hessian matrix of the partition function as the model embedding function from the space of parameters to the set of real numbers. In this framework, we classify the regions in the parameter space of the harmonic oscillator fluctuations where they yield a stable statistical configuration. The mechanism of stability follows from the notion of the fluctuation theory. In Secs. 7 and 8, we provide the nature of local and global correlations and stability regions where the system yields a stable or unstable statistical basis, or it undergoes into geometric phase transitions. Finally, in Sec. 9, the comparison of results is provided with reference to other existing research.
