A wide range of non-equilibrium phenomena in nature involve non-reciprocal interactions. To understand the novel behaviors that can emerge in such systems, finding tractable models is essential. With this goal, we introduce a non-reciprocal…

Critical exponents characterize the divergent scaling of thermodynamic quantities near phase transitions and allow for the classification of physical systems into universality classes. While quantum gases thermalizing by interparticle…

Collapse, or a gravitational-like phase transition is studied in a microcanonical ensemble of particles with an attractive $1/r^{\alpha}$ potential. A mean field continuous integral equation is used to determine a saddle-point density…
