Thermodynamic conventions suffer from describing dynamical distinctions, especially when the structural and energetic changes induced by localized rare events are insignificant. By using the ensemble theory in the trajectory space, we…
We develop a method for the construction of the effective potential at high temperatures based on the effective field theory approach and renormalization group. It allows one to sum up the leading logarithms in all orders of perturbation…
The electroweak phase transition is studied at finite temperature. The effective action is given to higher orders, including wave function correction factors and the full $g^4,\lambda^2$ effective potential. An upper bound for the Higgs…
We study the transition time distribution for a particle moving between two wells of a multidimensional potential in the low-noise limit of overdamped Langevin dynamics. Possible transition paths are restricted to a thin tube surrounding…
The preceding Comment by Xu et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 059803 (2019); arXiv:1808.05390) erroneously applies the entropic stress expression in our Letter (T.C. O'Connor et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 047801 (2018); arXiv:1806.09509) to…
Equilibrium phase transitions are associated with rearrangements of minima of a (Lagrangian) potential. Treatment of non-equilibrium systems requires doubling of degrees of freedom, which may be often interpreted as a transition from the…
The $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ transition form factors in the space-like region are analyzed at low and intermediate energies in a model-independent way through the use of rational approximants. The slope and curvature parameters of the form…
Quantum phase transitions in quantum matter occur at zero temperature between distinct ground states by tuning a nonthermal control parameter. Often, they can be accurately described within the Landau theory of phase transitions, similarly…
We study the McKean--Vlasov equation on the finite tori of length scale $L$ in $d$--dimensions. We derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a phase transition, which are based on the criteria first uncovered in…
High pressure electrical resistivity and x-ray diffraction experiments have been performed on Fe single crystals. The crystallographic investigation provides direct evidence that in the martensitic $bcc \rightarrow hcp$ transition at 14 GPa…
We propose a method of describing a phase transition in a cell fluid model with pair interaction potential that includes repulsive and attractive parts. An exact representation of the grand partition function of this model is obtained in…
The mean field theory is revisited in the classical and quantum mechanical limits. Taking into account the boundary conditions at the phase transition and the third law of the thermodynamics the physical properties of the ordered and…
In recent years, quantum phase transitions have attracted the interest of both theorists and experimentalists in condensed matter physics. These transitions, which are accessed at zero temperature by variation of a non-thermal control…
In recent years, a low pressure transition around P $\sim$ 3 GPa exhibited by the A$_2$B$_3$-type 3D topological insulators is attributed to an electronic topological transition (ETT) for which there is no direct evidence either from theory…
We consider an $\varepsilon$-periodic ($\varepsilon\to 0$) tubular structure, modelled as a magnetic Laplacian on a metric graph, which is periodic along a single axis. We show that the corresponding Hamiltonian admits norm-resolvent…
Transition states or quantum states of zero energy appear at the boundary between the discrete part of the spectrum of negative energies and the continuum part of positive energy states. As such, transition states can be regarded as a…
The relation between thermodynamic phase transitions in classical systems and topology changes in their configuration space is discussed for a one-dimensional, analytically tractable solid-on-solid model. The topology of a certain family of…
Inhomogeneous fluids exhibit physical properties that are neither uniform nor isotropic. The pressure tensor is a case in point, key to the mechanical description of the interfacial region. Kirkwood and Buff, and later Irving and Kirkwood,…
