In this study, a recently introduced order parameter called the weighted coordination number (WCN) was used to investigate the liquid-liquid (LL) phase separation, indicating temperature-dependent coarsening of the LL interface as a…
Energy costs of information processing are growing exponentially. Bit erasure is a key problem in this energy-information nexus, and a number of seminal relationships have been deduced regarding the relationship between thermodynamic costs…
We study the role of fluctuations in particle systems modeled by Dean-Kawasaki-type equations, which describe the evolution of particle densities in systems with Brownian motion. By comparing microscopic simulations, stochastic partial…
In complex ecological communities, species may self-organize into clusters or clumps where highly similar species can coexist. The emergence of such species clusters can be captured by the interplay between neutral and niche theories. Based…
We propose a non-integer-dimensional spatial model for anisotropic solids by incorporating a q-deformed derivative operator, inspired by the Tsallis nonadditive entropy framework. This generalization provides an analytical framework to…
The sine-Gordon model serves as a foundational $1+1$-dimensional quantum field theory with numerous applications in condensed matter physics. Despite its integrability, characterizing its finite-temperature behavior remains a significant…
We introduce a generalized version of the Biswas-Chatterjee-Sen (BChS) model \cite{Biswas} with group interactions of size $q$, extending the original pairwise interaction dynamics. Within a mean-field framework, we derive an exact…
The fluctuating dynamics of a network about its stable, noise-free steady state are theoretically investigated. Various causes of non-equilibrium dynamics are identified in terms of the properties and symmetry of the network connections and…
Entropy is one of the key thermodynamic variables reflecting changes in the state of matter. Unlike other thermodynamic variables, it is well-defined also for nonequilibrium steady states through its relation to information. Applying this…
Renormalization of complex networks requires principled criteria for assessing whether a coarse-graining preserves dynamical content. We prove that discrete harmonic morphisms -- surjective maps preserving harmonic functions -- provide the…
Regulation of contraction in striated muscle is controlled by a dual mechanism involving both thin filaments containing actin and thick filaments containing myosin. The thin filament is activated by calcium ions binding to troponin, leading…
We show that the Heider model with an external field is equivalent, in the limit of structural balance, to the Ising model with nearest-neighbor interactions without an external field. More precisely, we claim that the signs of the Heider…
We recently showed that the two-dimensional Ising spin glass allows for a line of renormalization group fixed points which explains properties observed in numerical studies. We observe that this exact result corresponds to enhancement to a…
Nonlinear oscillations are commonly observed in complex systems far from equilibrium, such as living organisms. These oscillations are essential for sustaining vital processes, like neuronal firing, circadian rhythms, and heartbeats. In…
We investigate how gravity influences negative differential thermal resistance (NDTR) in fluids modeled by multiparticle collision dynamics. In the integrable case, we derive the heat flux formula for the system exhibiting the NDTR effect,…
Far-from-equilibrium thermodynamic systems dominated by strong nonlinearity are reformulated within a dynamical framework based on the Nambu bracket formalism. It is demonstrated that general complex nonlinear non-equilibrium systems can be…
The solutions to many problems in the mathematical, computational, and physical sciences often involve multidimensional integrals. A direct numerical evaluation of the integral incurs a computational cost that is exponential in the number…
The framework of bipartite stochastic thermodynamics is a powerful tool to analyze a composite system's internal thermodynamics. It has been used to study the components of different molecular machines such as ATP synthase. However, this…
Hydrodynamic noise is the Gaussian process that emerges at larges scales of space and time in many-body systems. It is justified by the central limit theorem, and represents degrees of freedom forgotten when projecting coarse-grained…
We study the quench dynamics in a $Z_3$ symmetric chiral clock model (CCM). The results reveal that chiral phases can lead to the emergence of dynamical quantum phase transition (DQPT). By analyzing Lee-Yang-Fisher zeros' distribution in…
