We address the out-of-equilibrium critical dynamics of the three-dimensional lattice ${\mathbb Z}_2$ gauge model, and in particular the critical relaxational flows arising from instantaneous quenches to the critical point, driven by purely…
We investigate the persistence properties of critical d-dimensional systems relaxing from an initial state with non-vanishing order parameter (e.g., the magnetization in the Ising model), focusing on the dynamics of the global order…
The one-dimensional XXZ model (s=1/2) in a transverse field, with uniform long-range interactions among the transverse components of the spins, is studied. The model is exactly solved by introducing the Jordan-Wigner transformation and the…
We study the off-equilibrium dynamics of a particle in a general $N$-dimensional random potential when $N \to \infty$. We demonstrate the existence of two asymptotic time regimes: {\it i.} stationary dynamics, {\it ii.} slow aging dynamics…
Topological defects are fundamental to the collective dynamics of non-equilibrium systems and in active matter, mediating spontaneous flows, dynamic self-organization, and emergent pattern formation. Here, we reveal critical states in…

We propose a quantum model consisting of an ensemble of overdamped spin$-1/2$ particles with ferromagnetic couplings, driven by a radially homogeneous magnetic field. The spontaneous magnetization of the spin components breaks the $SO(3)$…

The collective behaviour of statistical systems close to critical points is characterized by an extremely slow dynamics which, in the thermodynamic limit, eventually prevents them from relaxing to an equilibrium state after a change in the…
We have numerically determined the behavior of the magnetic susceptibility upon approach of the critical point in two-dimensional spin systems with an interaction range that was varied over nearly two orders of magnitude. The full crossover…
