We prove the abundance of Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen measures for diffeomorphisms away from ones with a homoclinic tangency. This is motivated by conjectures of Palis on the existence of physical (Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen) measures for global dynamics.…
We establish the completeness of some characteristic sets of non-normalizable modes by constructing fully localized square steps out of them, with each such construction expressly displaying the Gibbs phenomenon associated with trying to…
In this two-paper series, we prove the invariance of the Gibbs measure for a three-dimensional wave equation with a Hartree nonlinearity. The novelty lies in the singularity of the Gibbs measure with respect to the Gaussian free field. In…
We prove that certain Gibbs measures on subshifts of finite type are nonsingular and ergodic for certain countable equivalence relations, including the orbit relation of the adic transformation (the same as equality after a permutation of…
We show that domain walls are probes that enable one to distinguish large-distance modified gravity from general relativity (GR) at short distances. For example, low-tension domain walls are stealth in modified gravity, while they do…
In this paper we study homogeneous Gibbs measures on a Cayley tree, subjected to an infinite-temperature Glauber evolution, and consider their (non-)Gibbsian properties. We show that the intermediate Gibbs state (which in zero field is the…
Gibbs' phase rule states that two-phase coexistence of a single-component system, characterized by an n-dimensional parameter-space, may occur in an n-1-dimensional region. For example, the two equilibrium phases of the Ising model coexist…
In earlier work \cite{bedeaux/vdW/I, bedeaux/vdW/II, bedeaux/vdW/III} a systematic extension of the van der Waals square gradient model to non-equilibrium one-component systems was given. In this work the focus was on heat and mass transfer…
The paper is devoted to the isotropic realizability of a regular gradient field u or a more general vector field b, namely the existence of a continuous positive function $\sigma$ such that $\sigma$b is divergence free in R d or in an open…
Nonlinear sigma models with non-compact target space and non-amen-able symmetry group were introduced long ago in the study of disordered electron systems. They also occur in dimensionally reduced quantum gravity; recently they have been…
Our goal is to present the basic results on one-dimensional Gibbs and equilibrium states viewed as special invariant measures on symbolic dynamical systems, and then to describe without technicalities a sample of results they allowed to…
We prove the invariance of the Gibbs measure under the dynamics of the three-dimensional cubic wave equation, which is also known as the hyperbolic $\Phi^4_3$-model. This result is the hyperbolic counterpart to seminal works on the…
In this letter, we fill a hole in the existing literature about disordered quantum spin systems generated by a random local interaction $\{\mathfrak{h}(Z)\}_{Z\Subset \mathbb{Z}^\nu}$ satisfying a statistical version of translation…
We examine the covariant properties of generalized models of two-field inflation, with non-canonical kinetic terms and a possibly non-trivial field metric. We demonstrate that kinetic-term derivatives and covariant field derivatives do…
It is shown that perturbation theory in $2D$ nonlinear $\sigma$-models as well gauge theories in dimension $D\geq 2$ produces answers that depend on boundary conditions even after the infinite volume limit has been taken. This unphysical…
We establish a Mermin--Wagner type theorem for Gibbs states on infinite random Lorentzian triangulations (LT) arising in models of quantum gravity. Such a triangulation is naturally related to the distribution $\sf P$ of a critical…
We study nonlinear energy transfer and the existence of stationary measures in a class of degenerately forced SDEs on $\mathbb R^d$ with a quadratic, conservative nonlinearity $B(x,x)$ constrained to possess various properties common to…
We study the nonequilibrium properties of directed Ising models with non conserved dynamics, in which each spin is influenced by only a subset of its nearest neighbours. We treat the following models: (i) the one-dimensional chain; (ii) the…
We call pattern any non-constant stable solution of a semilinear elliptic equation with Neumann boundary conditions. A classical theorem of Casten, Holland [19] and Matano [49] states that stable patterns do not exist in convex domains. In…
We prove that the Gibbs measures $\rho$ for a class of Hamiltonian equations written $\partial_t u = J (-\triangle u + V'(|u|^2)u)$ on the real line are invariant under the flow of this equation in the sense that there exist random…
