Density profiles are investigated arising in a critical Ising model in two dimensions which is confined to a rectangular domain with uniform or mixed boundary conditions and arbitrary aspect ratio. For the cases in which the two vertical…
Which phenomenon slows down the dynamics in super-cooled liquids and turns them into glasses is a long-standing question of condensed-matter. Most popular theories posit that as the temperature decreases, many events must occur in a…
We use confocal microscopy to study the motions of particles in concentrated colloidal systems. Near the glass transition, diffusive motion is inhibited, as particles spend time trapped in transient ``cages'' formed by neighboring…
In connection with recent discussion of topological order and topological phase transitions in quantum systems, we reexamine circumstances that lead to the appearance of a topological glass in certain classical lattice spin models. Local…

We examine the possibility of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in two-dimensional (2D) system of interacting particles in a trap. We use a self-consistent mean-field theory of Bose particles interacting by a contact interaction in the Popov…

Trapped ions are considered one of the best candidates to perform quantum information processing. By interacting them with laser beams they are, somehow, easy to manipulate, which makes them an excellent choice for the production of…
Using computer simulations, we identify the mechanisms causing aggregation and structural arrest of colloidal suspensions interacting with a short-ranged attraction at moderate and high densities. Two different non-ergodicity transitions…

We study the following interacting particle system. There are $\rho n$ particles, $\rho < 1$, moving clockwise ("right"), in discrete time, on $n$ sites arranged in a circle. Each site may contain at most one particle. At each time, a…
We study the surface dynamics of silica films grown by low pressure chemical vapor deposition. Atomic force microscopy measurements show that the surface reaches a scale invariant stationary state compatible with the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang…
We consider the system of particles on a finite interval with pair-wise nearest neighbours interaction and external force. This model was introduced by Malyshev to study the flow of charged particles on a rigorous mathematical level. It is…
The state space of finite square and cubic Ising spin glass models is analysed in terms of the global and the local density of states. Systems with uniform and gaussian probability distribution of interactions are compared. Different…
This article is divided into two parts. In the first part, we study the hierarchical phenomenon of metastability in low-temperature lattice models in the most general setting. Given an abstract dynamical system governed by a Hamiltonian…
The matching conditions at the interface between two non-mixed fluids at rest are obtained directly using the equation of movement of the whole media. This is a non-usual point of view in hydrodynamics courses and our aim is to fix ideas…

We show that the empirical process associated with a system of weakly interacting diffusion processes exhibits a form of noise-induced metastability. The result is based on an analysis of the associated McKean--Vlasov free energy, which,…
