The dynamical activity K(t) of a stochastic process is the number of times it changes configuration up to time t. It was recently argued that (spin) glasses are at a first order dynamical transition where histories of low and high activity…

The celebrated antiferromagnetic phase transition was realized in a most recent optical lattice experiment for 3D fermionic Hubbard model [Shao {\it et al}., Nature {\bf 632}, 267 (2024)]. Despite the great achievement, it was observed that…
Entropic-force cosmology provides, in contrast with dark energy descriptions, a concrete physical understanding of the accelerated expansion of the universe. The acceleration appears to be a consequence of the entropy associated with the…
While the glass transition at non-zero temperature seems to be hard to access for experimental, theoretical, or simulation studies, jamming at zero temperature has been explored in great detail. It is a widely discussed question whether…
We show that thermodynamic scaling can be derived by combining the Murnaghan equation of state (EOS) with the generalized entropy theory (GET) of glass formation. In our theory, thermodynamic scaling arises in the non-Arrhenius relaxation…
We obtain macroscopic adiabatic thermodynamic transformations by space-time scalings of a microscopic Hamiltonian dynamics subject to random collisions with the environment. The microscopic dynamics is given by a chain of oscillators…
