We propose a novel mechanism leading to spatiotemporal oscillations in extended systems that does not rely on local bulk instabilities. Instead, oscillations arise from the interaction of two subsystems of different spatial dimensionality.…
A class of systems is considered, where immobile species associated to distinct patches, the nodes of a network, interact both locally and at a long-range, as specified by an (interaction) adjacency matrix. Non local interactions are…

We consider the dynamics of a periodic chain of N coupled overdamped particles under the influence of noise. Each particle is subjected to a bistable local potential, to a linear coupling with its nearest neighbours, and to an independent…
Local entanglement between pairs of spins, as measured by concurrence, is investigated in a disordered spin model that displays a transition from an ergodic to a many-body localized phase in excited states. It is shown that the concurrence…
Semiconductor $p^+ - p^- - n - p^+ - n^{++}$ structures with large junction and contact areas are treated as 1 \times 2-dimensional active media, in which self-organized pattern formation can be expected. The local bistable behavior of the…
We elaborate on the principle that for gapped quantum spin systems with local interaction "local perturbations [in the Hamiltonian] perturb locally [the ground state]". This principle was established in [Bachmann et al. 2012], relying on…
Periodic forcing of an oscillatory system produces frequency locking bands within which the system frequency is rationally related to the forcing frequency. We study extended oscillatory systems that respond to uniform periodic forcing at…
