We revisit the equilibrium one-dimensional $\phi^4$ model from the dynamical systems point of view. We find an infinite number of periodic orbits which are computationally stable. At the same time some of the orbits are found to exhibit…

We study chaos in the Hamiltonian Mean Field model (HMF), a system with many degrees of freedom in which $N$ classical rotators are fully coupled. We review the most important results on the dynamics and the thermodynamics of the HMF, and…

This work extends the results of the recently developed theory of a rather complete thermodynamic formalism for discrete-state, continuous-time Markov processes with and without detailed balance. We aim at investigating the question that…

We analyse universal statistical properties of phase shifts and time delays for open chaotic systems in the crossover regime of partly broken time-reversal invariance. In particular, we find that the distribution of the time delay shows…

In classical statistical mechanics there is a clear correlation between relaxation to equilibrium and chaos. In contrast, for isolated quantum systems this relation is -- to say the least -- fuzzy. In this work we try to unveil the…

The emergence of global order in complex systems with locally interacting components is most striking at criticality, where small changes in control parameters result in a sudden global re-organization. We introduce a measure of…

We theoretically explore the Bochkov-Kuzovlev-Jarzynski-Crooks work theorems in a finite system subject to external control, which is coupled to a heat reservoir. We first elaborate the mechanical energy-balance between the system and the…

The chaotic hypothesis is proposed as a basis for a general theory of nonequilibrium stationary states. Version 2: new comments added after presenting this talk at the Meeting mentioned in the Acknowledgement. One typo corrected.

Interacting systems can be studied as the networks where nodes are system units and edges denote correlated interactions. Although percolation on network is a unified way to model the emergence and propagation of correlated behaviours, it…

Time-translation symmetry breaking is a mechanism for the emergence of non-stationary many-body phases, so-called time-crystals, in Markovian open quantum systems. Dynamical aspects of time-crystals have been extensively explored over the…

Thermodynamics is based on the notions of energy and entropy. While energy is the elementary quantity governing physical dynamics, entropy is the fundamental concept in information theory. In this work, starting from first principles, we…
