We study the transient dynamics in a two-dimensional system of interacting Dirac fermions subject to a quenched drive with circularly polarized light. In the absence of interactions, the drive opens a gap at the Dirac point in the…

We introduce and analyse the kinetic random-field nonreciprocal Ising model, which incorporates bimodal (double-delta) diffusive disorder along with pairwise nonreciprocal interactions between two different species. Using mean-field and…

For a wide variety of problems, creating detailed continuous models of (continuous) physical systems is, at the very least, impractical. Hybrid models can abstract away short transient behaviour (thus introducing discontinuities) in order…

We introduce a model of interacting Random Walk, whose hopping amplitude depends on the number of walkers/particles on the link. The mesoscopic counterpart of such a microscopic dynamics is a diffusing system whose diffusivity depends on…

Observations of stellar surfaces - except for the Sun - are hampered by their tiny angular extent, while observed spectral lines are smeared by averaging over the stellar surface, and by stellar rotation. Exoplanet transits can be used to…
