This article is an invitation. It is, first, an invitation to consider as a subject worthy of attention the wide range of situations where small discrete elements, either bubbles, droplets or solid particles, are embedded in turbulent…
The status of stochastic cooling and developments over the years are reviewed with reference to much of the original work. Both theoretical and technological subjects are considered.
In spin glass models one can remove minimization of free energy by some order parameter. One can consider hierarchy of order parameters. It is possible to divide energy among these parts. We can consider relaxation process in glass system…
This entry is aimed at describing cloud physics with an emphasis on fluid dynamics. As is inevitable for a review of an enormously complicated problem, it is highly selective and reflects of the authors' focus. The range of scales involved,…
This text is a survey of the general theory of stochastic processes, with a view towards random times and enlargements of filtrations. The first five chapters present standard materials, which were developed by the French probability school…
Statistical physics is used to investigate independent component analysis with polynomial contrast functions. While the replica method fails, an adapted cavity approach yields valid results. The learning curves, obtained in a suitable…
In this talk I will present a complete theory for the behaviour of large-scale dynamical heterogeneities in glasses. Following the work arXiv:1001.1746 I will show that we can write a (physically motivated) simple stochastic differential…
We provide a theoretical perspective on the glass transition in molecular liquids at thermal equilibrium, on the spatially heterogeneous and aging dynamics of disordered materials, and on the rheology of soft glassy materials. We start with…
In this article, we review the progress made on the statistical mechanics of liquids and fluids embedded in curved space. Our main focus will be on two-dimensional manifolds of constant nonzero curvature and on the influence of the latter…
Within the continuous endeavour of improving the efficiency and resilience of air transport, the trend of using concepts and metrics from statistical physics has recently gained momentum. This scientific discipline, which integrates…
Understanding glass formation is a challenge because the existence of a true glass state, distinct from liquid and solid, remains elusive: Glasses are liquids that have become too viscous to flow. An old idea, as yet unproven…
This is a brief introduction to the statistical theory of fluid turbulence, with an emphasis on the field-theoretic treatment of renormalized viscosity and energy fluxes.
The internal phase dynamics of a quantum system is revealed in details. Theoretical and experimental evidences of existence of a causal relation of the phase of the wave function with the dynamics of the quantum system are presented…
The glass transition is considered as a phase transition in the system of topologically protected excitations in matter structure. The critical behavior of the system is considered both in statics and dynamics cases. It is shown in the…
In this chapter, a statistical measure of complexity is introduced and some of its properties are discussed. Also, some straightforward applications are shown.
We study colloidal particle dynamics of a model glass system using confocal and fluorescence microscopy as the sample evolves from a hard-sphere glass to a liquid with attractive interparticle interactions. The transition from hard-sphere…
