The existence of explosive phase transitions in random (Erd\H os R\'enyi-type) networks has been recently documented by Achlioptas et al.\ [Science {\bf 323}, 1453 (2009)] via simulations. In this Letter we describe the underlying mechanism…
Phase response curve is an important tool in studies of stable self-sustained oscillations; it describes a phase shift under action of an external perturbation. We consider multistable oscillators with several stable limit cycles. Under a…

In this talk I discuss how a first order phase transition may proceed in rapidly expanding partonic matter produced in a relativistic heavy-ion collision. The resulting picture is that a strong collective flow of matter will lead to the…
We study a $U(1)\times U(1)$ system in (2+1)-dimensions with long-range interactions and mutual statistics. The model has the same form after the application of operations from the modular group, a property which we call modular invariance.…

Simulations show that sliding bilayers of colloidal particles can exhibit a new phase, the ``melt-freeze'' phase, where the layers stochastically alternate between solidlike and liquidlike states. We introduce a mean field phenomenological…
We show that the dipole, a system usually proposed to model relaxation phenomena, exhibits a maximum in the signal-to-noise ratio at a non-zero noise level, thus indicating the appearance of stochastic resonance. The phenomenon occurs in…
In many areas of imaging science, it is difficult to measure the phase of linear measurements. As such, one often wishes to reconstruct a signal from intensity measurements, that is, perform phase retrieval. In this paper, we provide a…
It is explained why and how the fireball created in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions can fragment when passing the phase transition. It can happen at the first-order phase transition but is not excluded even at high collision energies…
The sensitivity in optical interferometry is strongly affected by losses during the signal propagation or at the detection stage. The optimal quantum states of the probing signals in the presence of loss were recently found. However, in…
The problem of phase retrieval is revisited and studied from a fresh perspective. In particular, we establish a connection between the phase retrieval problem and the sensor network localization problem, which allows us to utilize the vast…
We observe a structural phase transition between two configurations of a superradiant crystal by coupling a Bose-Einstein condensate to an optical cavity and applying imbalanced transverse pump fields. We find that this first order phase…
This contribution presents a brief summary of the recent past efforts to experimentally explore the QCD phase diagram at high baryon chemical potentials through heavy-ion collisions. A few measurements are highlighted to present the current…
We prove the existence of non-trivial phase transitions for the intersection of two independent random interlacements and the complement of the intersection. Some asymptotic results about the phase curves are also obtained. Moreover, we…
We consider a soluble model of multifragmentation which is similar in spirit to many models which have been used to fit intermediate energy heavy ion collision data. We draw a p-V diagram for the model and compare with a p-V diagram…
Coupled oscillator networks often display transitions between qualitatively different phase-locked solutions -- such as synchrony and rotating wave solutions -- following perturbation or parameter variation. In the limit of weak coupling,…
