The hard-core model has attracted much attention across several disciplines, representing lattice gases in statistical physics and independent sets in discrete mathematics and computer science. On finite graphs, we are given a parameter…
We analyze the fluctuations of the steady state profiles in the modulated phase of the ABC model. For a system of $L$ sites, the steady state profiles move on a microscopic time scale of order $L^3$. The variance of their displacement is…
We construct explicit examples of one-dimensional driven diffusive systems for two and three species of interacting particles, defined by asymmetric dynamical rules which do not obey detailed balance, but whose nonequilibrium…
The ground-state phase diagram of the asymmetric Hubbard model is studied in one and two dimensions by a well-controlled numerical method. The method allows to calculate directly the probabilities of particular phases in the approximate…

The physical analysis of generic phase coexistence in the North-East-Center Toom model was originally given by Bennett and Grinstein. The gist of their argument relies on the dynamics of interfaces and droplets. We revisit the same question…
We consider a nearest-neighbor $p$-adic $\l$-model with spin values $\pm 1$ on a Cayley tree of order $k\geq 1$. We prove for the model there is no phase transition and as well as the unique $p$-adic Gibbs measure is bounded if and only if…
We review recent progress in understanding the full phase diagram of a one-dimensional, driven, two-species lattice model [Lahiri and Ramaswamy, PRL 79 (1997) 1150] in which the mobility of each species depends on the density of the other.…
Within self-consistent field theory we study the phase behavior of a symmetrical binary AB polymer blend confined into a thin film. The film surfaces interact with the monomers via short range potentials. One surface attracts the A…
We develop a new fermionic path-integral formalism to analyze the phase diagram of open nonequilibrium systems. The formalism is applied to analyze an ensemble of two-level atoms interacting with a single-mode optical cavity, described by…
We study the phase diagram of the Dicke model in terms of the excitation energy and the radiation-matter coupling constant $\lambda$. Below a certain critical value $\lambda_c$ of the coupling constant $\lambda$ all the energy levels have a…
In the hard-core model on a finite graph we are given a parameter lambda>0, and an independent set I arises with probability proportional to lambda^|I|. On infinite graphs a Gibbs distribution is defined as a suitable limit with the correct…
Background: The Agassi model is an extension of the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model that incorporates the pairing interaction. It is a schematic model that describes the interplay between particle-hole and pair correlations. It was proposed in…
We study the steady state resulting from instabilities in crystals driven through a dissipative medium, for instance, a colloidal crystal which is steadily sedimenting through a viscous fluid. The problem involves two coupled fields, the…
In a recent work, Bodineau and Derrida analyzed the phase fluctuations in the ABC model. In particular, they computed the asymptotic variance and, on the basis of numerical simulations, they conjectured the presence of a drift, which they…
The steady states of the two-species (positive and negative particles) asymmetric exclusion model of Evans, Foster, Godreche and Mukamel are studied using Monte Carlo simulations. We show that mean-field theory does not give the correct…
The steady states of three families of one-dimensional non-equilibrium models with open boundaries, first proposed in [22], are studied using a matrix product formalism. It is shown that their associated quadratic algebras have…
Theoretical advances in the study of non-equilibrium phenomena are briefly reviewed with emphasis on steady state properties of one-dimensional driven lattice gases. The presentation is focused on the totally asymmetric simple-exclusion…
It is well known that systems with long-range interactions may exhibit different phase diagrams when studied within two different ensembles. In many of the previously studied examples of ensemble inequivalence, the phase diagrams differ…
We study a three-level Dicke model in V-configuration under both closed and open conditions. With independently tunable co- and counter-rotating coupling strength of the interaction Hamiltonian, this model is a generalization of the…
