Chirality in active and passive fluids gives rise to odd transport properties, most notably the emergence of robust edge currents that defy standard dissipative dynamics. While these phenomena are well-described by continuum hydrodynamics,…

We discuss a large class of classical field theories with continuous translation symmetry. In the quantum theory, a new anomaly explicitly breaks this translation symmetry to a discrete symmetry. Furthermore, this discrete translation…

Longitudinal nonreciprocal charge transport is usually associated with broken time-reversal symmetry, either from magnetic order or an external magnetic field. Here, we show that it can also arise in nonmagnetic conductors preserving…

We study dynamical spin correlations in a dissipative XXZ spin chain subject to uniform local spin-loss and pumping. Starting from a mixed steady state that is featureless albeit possessing finite magnetization, rich dynamics emerges in…

A clear separation of the time scales governing the dynamics of "slow" and "fast" degrees of freedom often serves as a prerequisite for the emergence of an independent low-energy theory. Here, we consider (slow) classical spins exchange…

We study a nonreciprocal generalization [EPL 60, 418 (2002)] of the classical Heisenberg spin chain, in which the exchange coupling is nonsymmetric, and show that it displays a ballistic spreading of chaos as measured by the decorrelator.…

We further study the stochastic model discussed in Ref.[2] in which positive and negative particles diffuse in an asymmetric, CP invariant way on a ring. The positive particles hop clockwise, the negative counter-clockwise and…

Non-equilibrium diffusive systems are known to exhibit long-range correlations, which decay like the inverse 1/L of the system size L in one dimension. Here, taking the example of the ABC model, we show that this size dependence becomes…
