This article is devoted to the study of certain models for phase transitions involving nonlocal energies. A first part is concerned with to the asymptotic analysis of a system of fractional elliptic equations of Allen-Cahn type as a…
Phase transitions and critical behavior of driven systems are reviewed. Models exhibiting phase transitions, spontaneous symmetry breaking, phase separation and coarsening processes in d=1 dimension are discussed.
Bifurcations in a system of coupled maps are investigated. Using symbolic dynamics it is proven that for coupled shift maps the well known space--time--mixing attractor becomes unstable at a critical coupling strength in favour of a…
An analysis of moments and spectra shows that, while the distribution of avalanche areas obeys finite size scaling, that of toppling numbers is universally characterized by a full, nonlinear multifractal spectrum. Rare, large avalanches…
Unidirectionally coupled systems which exhibit phase transitions into an absorbing state are investigated at the multicritical point. We find that for initial conditions with isolated particles, each hierarchy level exhibits an…

We study the time-averaged flow in a model of particles that randomly hop on a finite directed graph. In the limit as the number of particles and the time window go to infinity but the graph remains finite, the large-deviation rate…
When a quantum many-particle system exists on a randomly diluted lattice, its intrinsic thermal and quantum fluctuations coexist with geometric fluctuations due to percolation. In this paper, we explore how the interplay of these…

We study the nature of the phase transition in the multifractal formalism of the harmonic measure of Diffusion Limited Aggregates (DLA). Contrary to previous work that relied on random walk simulations or ad-hoc models to estimate the low…
Dynamical phase transitions (DPTs) characterize critical changes in system behavior occurring at finite times, providing a lens to study nonequilibrium phenomena beyond conventional equilibrium physics. While extensively studied in quantum…
Multiplicative processes and multifractals have earned increased popularity in applications ranging from hydrodynamic turbulence to computer network traffic, from image processing to economics. We analyse the multifractality of the recently…
In the modern theory of polarization, polarization itself is given by a geometric phase. In calculations for interacting systems the polarization and its variance are obtained from the polarization amplitude. We interpret this quantity as a…
Nonequilibrium phase transitions are characterized by the so-called critical exponents, each of which is related to a different observable. Systems that share the same set of values for these exponents also share the same universality…
Multifractal analysis techniques are applied to patterns in several abstract expressionist artworks, paintined by various artists. The analysis is carried out on two distinct types of structures: the physical patterns formed by a specific…
In this paper, we study the phase transition behavior emerging from the interactions among multiple agents in the presence of noise. We propose a simple discrete-time model in which a group of non-mobile agents form either a fixed connected…
We derive the flow equations for the symmetry unbroken phase of a dilute 3-dimensional Bose gas. We point out that the flow equation for the interaction contains parts which are non-analytic at the origin of the frequency-momentum space. We…
We investigate multifractality in the Korean stock-market index KOSPI. The generalized $q$th order height-height correlation function shows multiscaling properties. There are two scaling regimes with a crossover time around $t_c =40$ min.…
Liquid crystals in two dimensions undergo a first-order isotropic-to-quasi-nematic transition, provided the particle interactions are sufficiently ``sharp and narrow''. This implies phase coexistence between isotropic and quasi-nematic…
Multistable processes, that is, processes which are, at each "time", tangent to a stable process, but where the index of stability varies along the path, have been recently introduced as models for phenomena where the intensity of jumps is…
