The chaotic sea below the lowest energy spanning curve of the complete Fermi-Ulam model (FUM) is numerically investigated when the amplitude of oscillation 'epsilon' of the moving wall is small. We use scaling analysis near the integrable…
The jamming transition of non-spherical particles is fundamentally different from the spherical case. Non-spherical particles are hypostatic at their jamming points, while isostaticity is ensured in the case of the jamming of spherical…

Universal scaling laws only apply asymptotically near critical phase transitions. We propose a general scheme, based on normal form theory of renormalization group flows, for incorporating corrections to scaling that quantitatively describe…
Like other critical phenomena, the jamming transition accompanies the divergence of the relaxation time $\tau$. A recent numerical study of frictionless spherical particles proves that $\tau$ is inversely proportional to the lowest non-zero…

Fragile materials ranging from sand to fire-retardant to toothpaste are able to exhibit both solid and fluid-like properties across the jamming transition. Unlike ordinary fusion, systems of grains, foams and colloids jam and cease to flow…
Energy landscape mappings are performed for two different molecular systems under mechanical loads. Barrier heights are observed to scale as $\Delta U\sim\delta^{3/2}$, where $\delta$ is a residual load. Catastrophe theory predicts that…
We postulate the existence of universal crossover functions connecting the universal parts of the entanglement entropy to the low temperature thermal entropy in gapless quantum many-body systems. These scaling functions encode the intuition…
Rheological properties of dense flows of hard particles are singular as one approaches the jamming threshold where flow ceases, both for granular flows dominated by inertia, and for over-damped suspensions. Concomitantly, the lengthscale…
A previous scaling analysis of pressure experiments in heavy fermion is reviewed and enlarged. We show that the critical exponents obtained from this analysis indicate that a one-parameter scaling describes these experiments. We obtain…
Our community has a deep and sophisticated understanding of phase transitions and their universal scaling functions. We outline and advocate an ambitious program to use this understanding as an anchor for describing the surrounding phases.…
We consider the particle current in the asymmetric avalanche process on a ring. It is known to exhibit a transition from the intermittent to continuous flow at the critical density of particles. The exact expressions for the first two…
A non-perturbative Renormalization Group approach is used to calculate scaling functions for an O(4) model in d=3 dimensions in the presence of an external symmetry-breaking field. These scaling functions are important for the analysis of…

Simple homogeneous shear flows of frictionless, deformable particles are studied by particle simulations at large shear rates and for differently soft, deformable particles. The particle stiffness sets a time-scale that can be used to scale…
