In a previous work [arXiv:1009.4363], we have studied the evolution of a scalar field with a quartic coupling, driven by a classical source that initializes it to a non-perturbatively large value. At leading order in the coupling, the…
Signs of turbulence have been observed at the relativistic heavy ion collision at high collision energies. We study the signatures of turbulence in this system and find that there are significant departures from isotropic turbulence in the…
Collisions between nuclei at ultrarelativistic energies produce a color-deconfined plasma that expands explosively and rapidly reverts to the color-confined (hadronic) state. In non-central collisions, the zone of hot matter is transversely…

It is shown that intrinsically anisotropic non-equilibrium systems relaxing by a dynamic process exhibit universal critical behavior during their evolution toward non-equilibrium stationary states. An anisotropic scaling anzats for the…
The glass transition, extensively studied in dense fluids, polymers, or colloids, corresponds to a dramatic evolution of equilibrium transport coefficients upon a modest change of control parameter, like temperature or pressure. A similar…
We introduce an approach to derive an effective scalar field theory for the glass transition; the fluctuating field is the overlap between equilibrium configurations. We apply it to the case of constrained liquids for which the introduction…
Turbulence driven by AGN activity, cluster mergers and galaxy motion constitutes an attractive energy source for heating the intracluster medium (ICM). How this energy dissipates into the ICM plasma remains unclear, given its low…

We study the glass formation in two- and three-dimensional Ising and Heisenberg spin systems subject to competing interactions and uniaxial anisotropy with a mean-field approach. In three dimensions, for sufficiently strong anisotropy the…
We consider turbulence in the Gross-Pitaevsky model and study the creation of a coherent condensate via an inverse cascade originated at small scales. The growth of the condensate leads to a spontaneous breakdown of symmetries of…
In this paper, we introduce tensor involved peridynamics, a unified framework for simulating both isotropic and anisotropic materials. While traditional peridynamics models effectively simulate isotropic materials, they face challenges with…
