In the dynamics of the undamped Frenkel-Kontorova model with kinetic terms, we find a transition between two regimes, a floating incommensurate and a pinned incommensurate phase. This behavior is compared to the static version of the model.…
We study the coherent propagation and incoherent diffusion of in-plane elastic waves in a two dimensional continuum populated by many, randomly placed and oriented, edge dislocations. Because of the Peierls-Nabarro force the dislocations…
We consider a one-dimensional nonlocal nonlinear equation of the form: $\partial_t u = (\Lambda^{-\alpha} u)\partial_x u - \nu \Lambda^{\beta}u$ where $\Lambda =(-\partial_{xx})^{\frac 12}$ is the fractional Laplacian and $\nu\ge 0$ is the…

Understanding the spreading of quantum correlations in out-of-equilibrium many-body systems is one of the major challenges in physics. For {\it isolated} systems, a hydrodynamic theory explains the origin and spreading of entanglement via…

The nonlinear evolution of an ion ring instability in a low-beta magnetospheric plasma is considered. The evolution of the two-dimensional ring distribution is essentially quasilinear. Ignoring nonlinear processes the time-scale for the…
The propagation of magnetoacoustic waves in the neighbourhood of a 2D null point is investigated for both $\beta=0$ and $\beta \neq 0$ plasmas. Previous work has shown that the Alfv\'en speed, here $v_A \propto r$, plays a vital role in…
The Kuramoto model describes a system of globally coupled phase-only oscillators with distributed natural frequencies. The model in the steady state exhibits a phase transition as a function of the coupling strength, between a low-coupling…

This paper uses dynamical invariants to describe the evolution of collisionless systems subject to time-dependent gravitational forces without resorting to maximum-entropy probabilities. We show that collisionless relaxation can be viewed…
We consider a free fermion chain with uniform nearest-neighbor hopping and let it evolve from an arbitrary initial state with a fixed macroscopic number of particles. We then prove that, at a sufficiently large and typical time, the…
