We present our study on the emergent states of two interacting nonlinear systems with differing dynamical time scales. We find that the inability of the interacting systems to fall in step leads to difference in phase as well as change in…
It is generally believed that the dynamics of simple fluids can be considered to be chaotic, at least to the extent that they can be modeled as classical systems of particles interacting with short range, repulsive forces. Here we give a…

Inspired by one--dimensional light--particle systems, the dynamics of a non-Hamiltonian system with long--range forces is investigated. While the molecular dynamics does not reach an equilibrium state, it may be approximated in the…
We investigate the canonical equilibrium of systems with long-range forces in competition. These forces create a modulation in the interaction potential and modulated phases appear at the system scale. The structure of these phases…
We study relaxation towards a stationary out of equilibrium state by analizing a one-dimensional stochastic process followed by a particle accelerated by an external field and propagating through a thermal bath. The effect of collisions is…
The interplay between electronic interactions and disorder is neglected in the conventional Boltzmann theory of transport, yet can play an essential role in determining the resistivity of unconventional metals. When quasiparticles are…
We investigate the dynamics of many-body long-range interacting systems, taking the Hamiltonian Mean Field model as a case study. We show that an abundance of regular trajectories, associated with invariant tori of the single-particle…
