In his classical work on synchronization, Kuramoto derived the formula for the critical value of the coupling strength corresponding to the transition to synchrony in large ensembles of all-to-all coupled phase oscillators with randomly…
We introduce a cluster growth process that provides a clear connection between equilibrium statistical mechanics and an explosive percolation model similar to the one recently proposed by Achlioptas et al. [Science 323, 1453 (2009)]. We…
The following is a thermodynamic analysis of a III order (and some aspects of a IV order) phase transition. Such a transition can occur in a superconductor if the normal state is a diamagnet. The equation for a phase boundary in an H-T (H…
A double-exchange mechanism for the emergence of ferromagnetism in cubic uranium compounds is proposed on the basis of a $j$-$j$ coupling scheme. The idea is {\it orbital-dependent duality} of $5f$ electrons concerning itinerant…
We consider a quantum dot coupled to both superconducting and spin-polarized electrodes, and study the triad interplay of the Kondo effect, superconductivity, and ferromagnetism, any pair of which compete with and suppress each other. We…
Higher-order networks with multiway interactions can exhibit collective dynamical phenomena that are absent in traditional pairwise network models. However, analyzing such dynamics becomes computationally prohibitive as their state space…
We generalize the Kuramoto model by interpreting the $N$ variables on the unit circle as eigenvalues of a $N$-dimensional unitary matrix $U$, in three versions: general unitary, symmetric unitary and special orthogonal. The time evolution…
The Kuramoto model can be formulated as a gradient flow on a nonconvex energy landscape of the form $E(\boldsymbol{\theta}) := \frac{1}{2} \sum_{1\le i,j\le n} A_{ij}\bigl(1-\cos(\theta_i-\theta_j)\bigr).$ A fundamental question is to…
We describe the quantum phase transitions in the ferromagnetic Dicke-Ising model using a Landau theory approach. The theory quantitatively captures the change from a second- to a first-order transition between the normal and superradiant…
Motivated by recent experiment on the Na$_4$Ir$_3$O$_8$ compound we study the Hubbard model on the "hyper-kagome lattice", which forms a three-dimensional network of corner sharing triangles, using dynamical cluster approximation (DCA)…
Distinguished from the system with one order parameter, systems described by two or more order parameters will manifest more complex and much richer phase diagram and critical phenomena. In systems of two order parameters, the phase…
We extend our approach based on the second order perturbation theory in the Coulomb interaction recently developed for quantum dots coupled to superconducting leads to the superconducting double quantum dot setups. Using our perturbative…
Explosive Percolation describes the abrupt onset of large-scale connectivity that results from a simple random process designed to delay the onset of the transition on an underlying random network or lattice. Explosive percolation…
It is shown that an ultrarelativistic shock with the Lorentz factor of order of tens or higher propagating in a moderately dense interstellar medium (density above $\sim 1000 $ cm$^{-3}$) undergoes a fast dramatic transformation into a…
Mixed-order phase transitions display a discontinuity in the order parameter like first-order transitions yet feature critical behavior like second-order transitions. Such transitions have been predicted for a broad range of equilibrium and…
Chemical reactions can be understood as transformations of multigraphs (molecules) that preserve vertex labels (atoms) and degrees (sums of bonding and non-bonding electrons), thereby implying the atom-atom map of a reaction. The…
We consider a variant of the Kuramoto model, in which all the oscillators are now assumed to have the same natural frequency, but some of them are negatively coupled to the mean field. These "contrarian" oscillators tend to align in…
We consider an ensemble of three-level particles in lambda-configuration interacting with two bosonic modes. The Hamiltonian has the form of a generalized Dicke-model. We show that in the thermodynamic limit this model supports a…
Understanding the mechanisms that govern collective synchronization is a paramount task in nonlinear dynamics. While higher-order (many-body) interactions have recently emerged as a powerful framework for capturing collective behaviors,…
Synchronization is an important phenomenon in a wide variety of systems comprising interacting oscillatory units, whether natural (like neurons, biochemical reactions, cardiac cells) or artificial (like metronomes, power grids, Josephson…
