We study the thermodynamics of the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model with an external potential playing the role of a "magnetic field". If we consider only fully stable states, this system does not present any phase transition. However, if…
Relationships between general long-range interacting classical systems on a lattice and the corresponding mean-field models (infinitely long-range interacting models) are investigated. We study systems in arbitrary dimension d for periodic…
We introduce a generalized Hamiltonian Mean Field Model (gHMF)-XY model with both linear and quadratic coupling between spins and explicit Hamiltonian dynamics. In addition to the usual paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases, this model also…
We discuss the dynamics and thermodynamics of the Hamiltonian Mean Field model (HMF) which is a prototypical system with long-range interactions. The HMF model can be seen as the one Fourier component of a one-dimensional self-gravitating…
We numerically show that metastable states, similar to the Quasi Stationary States found in the so called Hamiltonian Mean Field Model, are also present in a generalized model in which $N$ classical spins (rotators) interact through…
The Hamiltonian Mean-Field (HMF) model is a long-range interaction model that exhibits quasi-stationary states associated with a phase transition. Its quasi-stationary states with a lifetime diverging with the number of particles in the…
We propose two different macroscopic dynamics to describe the decay of metastable phases in many-particle systems with local interactions. These dynamics depend on the macroscopic order parameter $m$ through the restricted free energy…
Violent relaxation is a process that occurs in systems with long-range interactions. It has the peculiar feature of dramatically amplifying small perturbations, and rather than driving the system to equilibrium it instead leads to slowly…
Recently, there has been some vigorous interest in the out-of-equilibrium quasistationary states (QSSs), with lifetimes diverging with the number N of degrees of freedom, emerging from numerical simulations of the ferromagnetic XY…
We present an extension of the previously proposed mean-field renormalization method to model Hamiltonians which are characterized by more than just one type of interaction. The method rests on scaling assumptions about the magnetization of…
An instructive and apparently simple model of fully-coupled rotators, the so-called Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model, together with a generalized version with variable interaction range, have revealed a very complex out-of-equilibrium…
The out-of-equilibrium mean-field dynamics of a model for wave-particle interaction is investigated. Such a model can be regarded as a general formulation for all those applications where the complex interplay between particles and fields…
We study a paradigmatic system with long-range interactions: the Hamiltonian Mean-Field Model (HMF). It is shown that in the thermodynamic limit this model does not relax to the usual equilibrium Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. Instead, the…
Systems of particles with long range interactions present two important processes: first, the formation of out-of-equilibrium quasi-stationary states (QSS), and the collisional relaxation towards Maxwell-Boltzmann equilibrium in a much…
In general, classical fully-connected systems are known to undergo violent relaxation. This phenomenon refers to the relaxation of observables to stationary, non-thermal, values on a finite timescale, despite their long-time dynamics being…
We study the out-of-equilibrium properties of the antiferromagnetic Hamiltonian Mean-Field model at low energy. In this regime, the Hamiltonian dynamics exhibits the presence of a stationary state where the rotators are gathered in a…
We study dynamical phase transitions in systems with long-range interactions, using the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model as a simple example. These systems generically undergo a violent relaxation to a quasi-stationary state (QSS) before…
We show that the quasi-stationary states observed in the $N$-particle dynamics of the Hamiltonian Mean-Field (HMF) model are nothing but Vlasov stable homogeneous (zero magnetization) states. There is an infinity of Vlasov stable…
We discuss recent results obtained for the Hamiltonian Mean Field model. The model describes a system of N fully-coupled particles in one dimension and shows a second-order phase transition from a clustered phase to a homogeneous one when…
Systems with long-range interactions display a short-time relaxation towards Quasi Stationary States (QSSs) whose lifetime increases with system size. With reference to the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model, we here show that a maximum…
