In spin-crossover materials, the volume of a molecule changes depending on whether it is in the high-spin (HS) or low-spin (LS) state. This change causes distortion of the lattice. Elastic interactions among these distortions play an…
In this paper and in the companion one we address the problem of identifying the effective theory that describes the statistics of the fluctuations of what is thought to be the relevant order parameter for glassy systems---the overlap field…
We propose an entanglement mean field theory inspired approach for dealing with interacting classical many-body systems. It involves a coarse-graining technique that terminates a step before the mean field theory: While mean field theory…
A statistical theory of the mean field is developed. It is based on the proposition that the mean field can be obtained as an energy average. Moreover, it is assumed that the matrix elements of the residual interaction, obtained after the…

The study of the normalized sum of random variables and its asymptotic behaviour has been and continues to be a central chapter in probability and statistical mechanics. When those variables are independent the central limit theorem ensures…

We study the dynamics of a spin-flip model with a mean field interaction. The system is non reversible, spacially inhomogeneous, and it is designed to model social interactions. We obtain the limiting behavior of the empirical averages in…
The large amounts of data from molecular biology and neuroscience have lead to a renewed interest in the inverse Ising problem: how to reconstruct parameters of the Ising model (couplings between spins and external fields) from a number of…
A mean-field model to describe electron transfer processes in ion-molecule collisions at the $\hbar =0$ level is presented and applied to collisions involving water and ammonia molecules. Multicenter model potentials account for the…
Critical dynamics of cortical neurons have been intensively studied over the past decade. Neuronal avalanches provide the main experimental as well as theoretical tools to consider criticality in such systems. Experimental studies show that…
The mean-field theory tells that the classical critical exponent of susceptibility is the twice of that of magnetization. However, the linear response theory based on the Vlasov equation, which is naturally introduced by the mean-field…
In this talk I review some recent developments which shed light on the main connections between structural glasses and mean-field spin glass models with a discontinuous transition. I also discuss the role of quantum fluctuations on the…
How a system initially at infinite temperature responds when suddenly placed at finite temperatures is a way to check the existence of phase transitions. It has been shown in [R. da Silva, IJMPC 2023] that phase transitions are imprinted in…
Critical hysteresis in ferromagnets is investigated through a $N$-component spin model with random anisotropies, more prevalent experimentally than the random fields used in most theoretical studies. Metastability, and the tensorial nature…
Mean-field approximation is often used to explore the qualitative behaviour of phase transitions in classical spin models before employing computationally costly methods such as the Monte-Carlo techniques. We implement a 'lattice…
