Everyone wants clean air, peace and other public goods but is tempted to freeride on others' efforts. The usual way out of this dilemma is to impose norms, maintain reputations and incentivize individuals to contribute. In situations of…
We consider disorder-order phase transitions in the three-dimensional version of the scalar noise model (SNM) of flocking. Our results are analogous to those found for the two-dimensional case. For small velocity (v <= 0.1) a continuous,…
We present a simple theory accounting for two central observations in a recent experiment on quantum coarsening and collective dynamics on a programmable quantum simulator [T. Manovitz et al., Nature \textbf{638}, 86 (2025)]: an apparent…
We present the general theory of Ising transitions in isotropic elastic media with vanishing thermal expansion. By constructing a minimal model with appropriate spin-lattice couplings, we show that in two dimensions near a continuous…
Infiltration of diffusing particles from one material to another where the diffusion mechanism is either normal or anomalous is a widely observed phenomena. When the diffusion is anomalous we find interesting behaviors: diffusion may lead…
We study the phase transition of the Ising model in networks with core-periphery structures. By Monte Carlo simulations, we show that prior to the order-disorder phase transition the system organizes into an inhomogeneous intermediate phase…
Phase separation is a fairly common physical phenomenon with examples including the formation of water droplets from humid air (fog, rain), the separation of a crystalline structure from an isotropic material such as a liquid or even the…
A family of nonequilibrium kinetic Ising models, introduced earlier, evolving under the competing effect of spin flips at {\it zero temperature} and nearest neighbour random spin exchanges is further investigated here. By increasing the…
The microscopic model in which nodes interacting with each other are statistical systems is introduced. The nodes conditions are connected with a string of distinct microscopic configurations and depend on external parameters (pressure and…
We generalize the original majority-vote model by incorporating an inertia into the microscopic dynamics of the spin flipping, where the spin-flip probability of any individual depends not only on the states of its neighbors, but also on…
We introduce and analyze an exactly soluble one-dimensional Ising model with long range interactions which exhibits a mixed order transition (MOT), namely a phase transition in which the order parameter is discontinuous as in first order…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking is well understood under equilibrium conditions as a consequence of the singularity of the thermodynamic limit. How a single global orientation of the order parameter dynamically emerges from an initially…
Uncovering and understanding universal dynamics in matter far from equilibrium remains a key challenge. In this work, we identify a so far unrecognized form of universal behavior that emerges after a sudden symmetry-breaking quench at…
In this paper, we study the driven-dissipative p-spin models for $p\geq 2$. In thermodynamics limit, the equation of motion is derived by using a semiclassical approach. The long-time asymptotic states are obtained analytically, which…
We consider the patterns of collective motion emerging when many aligning, self-propelling units move in two dimensions while interacting through a repulsive potential and are also subject to delays and random perturbations. In this…
We modify the kinetic Ising model with Metropolis dynamics, allowing each spin to interact only with $q$ spins randomly chosen from the whole system, which corresponds to the topology of a complete graph. We show that the model with $q \ge…
In this study the magnetization phenomenon has been investigated as a behavior of interacting elementary moments ensemble, with the help of Ising model [1] in the frame of non-extensive statistical mechanics. To investigate the physical…
The effects of an aperiodic order or a random disorder on phase transitions in statistical mechanics are discussed. A heuristic relevance criterion based on scaling arguments as well as specific results for Ising models with random disorder…
Mixed order transitions are those which show a discontinuity of the order parameter as well as a divergent correlation length. We show that the behaviour of the order parameter correlation function along the transition line of mixed order…
