We study the Langevin dynamics for spherical $p$-spin models, focusing on the short time regime described by the Cugliandolo-Kurchan equations. Confirming a prediction of [Cugliandolo-Kurchan, Phys. Rev. Lett. 1993], we show the asymptotic…
\hspace{2,0cm}{{\bf A tribute to Martinus Veltman 1931-2021}} Martinus ("Tini") Veltman 's early contributions to the Standard Model were essential for its succes. After some nostalgic reminiscences, I turn to the Standard Model with a…
We review the development and practical uses of a generalized Maupertuis least action principle in classical mechanics, in which the action is varied under the constraint of fixed mean energy for the trial trajectory. The original…
We solve explicitly a certain minimization problem for probability measures in one dimension involving an interaction energy that arises in the modelling of aggregation phenomena. We show that in a certain regime minimizers are absolutely…
A central limit theorem is proved for the free energy of the random field Ising model with all plus or all minus boundary condition, at any temperature (including zero temperature) and any dimension. This solves a problem posed by Wehr and…
We study the two dimensional Lennard-Jones energy per particle of lattices and we prove that the minimizer among Bravais lattices with sufficiently large density is triangular and that is not the case for sufficiently small density. We give…
We develop a simple method to study the high temperature, or high external field, behavior of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean field spin glass model. The basic idea is to couple two different replicas with a quadratic term, trying to push…
Recently, Mori [Phys. Rev. E 84, 031128 (2011)] has conjectured that the free energy of Ising spin glass models with the Kac potential in the non-additive limit, such as the power-law potential in the non-additive regime, is exactly equal…
Over the past 50 years, spin glass models have generated a broad range of literature in mathematics, physics, and computer science. There has been much progress in characterizing and proving the limiting free energy of various models,…
Based on the works of Gordon ([4]) and Zhang-Zhou([8])) on the variational minimizing properties for Keplerian orbits and Lagrangian solutions of Newtonian 2-body and 3-body problems, we use the constrained variational principle of…
The aim of this paper is to prove the existence of minimizers for a variational problem involving the minimization under volume constraint of the sum of the perimeter and a non-local energy of Wasserstein type. This extends previous partial…
We prove the convergence in distribution of the fluctuations of the free energy of the mixed $p$-spin Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model with non-vanishing $2$-spin component at high enough temperature. The limit is Gaussian, and the…
To test the stability of the Parisi solution near T=0, we study the spectrum of the Hessian of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model near T=0, whose eigenvalues are the masses of the bare propagators in the expansion around the mean-field…
We study a simplified nonlinear thermoelasticity model on two- and three-dimensional tori. A novel functional involving the Fisher information associated with temperature is introduced, extending the previous one-dimensional approach from…
We consider vector spin glass models with self-overlap correction. Since the limit of free energy is an infimum, we use arguments analogous to those for generic models to show the following: 1) the averaged self-overlap converges; 2) the…
We present some novel thermodynamic ideas based on the Maupertuis principle. By considering Hamiltonians written in terms of appropriate action-angle variables we show that thermal states can be characterized by the action variables and by…
In Lipschitz two and three dimensional domains, we study the existence for the so--called Boussinesq model of thermally driven convection under singular forcing. By singular we mean that the heat source is allowed to belong to…
We investigate the energy landscape of the spherical mixed even p-spin model near its maximum energy. We relate the distance between pairs of near maxima to the support of the Parisi measure at zero temperature. We then provide an algebraic…
Shepherd (1993) derived a general expression for the available potential energy for compressible, hydrostatic flow, where the sum of this available energy and the kinetic energy is called pseudo-energy. He demonstrated that for a special…
We consider the random fluctuations of the free energy in the $p$-spin version of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model in the high temperature regime. Using the martingale approach of Comets and Neveu as used in the standard SK model combined…
