Statistical Mechanics
Ion transport through charged nanopores is commonly interpreted in terms of electrical double layer structure, leading to the expectation of cation-selective conduction in negatively charged pores. This picture can break down for…
Search processes are a fundamental part of natural and artificial systems. In such settings, the number of searchers is rarely constant: new agents may be recruited while others can abandon the search. Despite the ubiquity of these…
We investigate the quantum dynamics generated by quantum quenches (QQs) of the Hamiltonian parameters in many-body systems, focusing on protocols that cross first-order and continuous quantum transitions, both in finite-size systems and in…
Fractional Brownian motion (fBm) is an important scale-invariant Gaussian non-Markovian process with stationary increments, which serves as a prototypical example of a system with long-range temporal correlations and anomalous diffusion.…
We uncover an emergent universality in the large-scale, long-time statistics of a one-dimensional hard-rod gas evolving under two fundamentally different classes of microscopic dynamics: stochastic (diffusive) and unitary (ballistic).…
We revisit the classical transfer matrix solution of the one- and two-dimensional Ising model from the perspective of Clifford and conformal geometric algebras. Building on Kaufman's spinor formulation, we show that all elements entering…
Conformal symmetry is expected to be realized in many equilibrium statistical mechanical systems at criticality. Although this is certainly true in two-dimensional systems, the three-dimensional case is subtler, and only a few proofs exist,…
We present a technique to investigate the stationary states of a system of a collisionless system confined by an external potential and coupled to boundary reservoirs through prescribed reinjection rules. We consider a family of boundary…
Non-linear oscillators serve important functions in many biological systems, including within the inner ear and neuronal networks. The sustainment of oscillations in noisy environments requires continuous energy dissipation, quantified by…
Warm-blooded vertebrates accumulate approximately $\Nstar \approx 10^9$ cardiac cycles over a natural lifetime, a striking empirical regularity first quantified by Lindstedt and Calder yet lacking a physical interpretation. We propose that…
We study how stochastic resetting affects first-passage processes in systems of many interacting particles. While resetting is well understood for single-particle dynamics, its consequences for collective behavior remain less clear. We…
A process that images or measures bond energies in the critical Ising model can be in distinct measurement ``phases'', depending on the precision of measurement. We study the transition into the strong-measurement phase using replica field…
In Ref. [1] the statistical structure of the turbulent cascade in the context of non-additive entropy was considered. Here we suggest that the vortex line ensemble in the Vinen quantum turbulence in superfluids is described by the…
Diffusive transport is a ubiquitous phenomenon, yet the microscopic origin of diffusion in interacting physical systems remains a challenging question, irrespective of whether quantum effects are dominant or not. In this work, we study…
This work presents an exact microcanonical combinatorial analysis of the one-dimensional antiferromagnetic Ising model. At the primary ground-state level crossing $B/J=2$, degeneracies follow the Fibonacci and Lucas sequences for open…
The kicked Ising model has been studied extensively as a model of quantum chaos. Bertini, Kos, and Prosen studied the system in the thermodynamic limit, finding an analytic expression for the spectral form factor, $K(t)$, at the self-dual…
We develop a mean-field description including spatial structure for a simplified version of the three-state active matter model studied by Venzel et al. (Phys. Rev. E 110, 014109 (2024)). The resulting triangular lattice of coupled…
Motivated by the importance ascribed to correlations in random matrices used to model phenomena in various scientific disciplines, we report how algebraic correlations between matrix elements affect the eigenvalue statistics and spectral…
Wave propagation can be observed in various nonequilibrium systems. In this study, we investigated the properties of several wave modes in active six-state Potts models using Monte Carlo simulations of square and hexagonal lattices.…
We generalize the formalism of open quantum systems to introduce anyon baths. In particular, we work out a dissipative anyon bath composed of independent pairs of one-dimensional Grundberg-Hansson harmonically bound anyons, which are…
