Metastability is an ubiquitous phenomenon in nature, which interests several fields of natural sciences. Its description in the framework of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics has been a taboo for long time since it is a genuine…
We discuss the glassy dynamics recently found in the meta-equilibrium quasi stationary states (QSS) of the HMF model. The relevance of the initial conditions and the connection with Tsallis nonextensive thermostatistics is also addressed.
An instructive and apparently simple model of fully-coupled rotators, the so-called Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model, together with a generalized version with variable interaction range, have revealed a very complex out-of-equilibrium…

In the comment by T.Dauxois et al.,(cond-mat/0605445), the authors question our application of the nonextensive statistical mechanics proposed by Tsallis, to explain the anomalous dynamics of the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model. More…
We show that the quasi-stationary states observed in the $N$-particle dynamics of the Hamiltonian Mean-Field (HMF) model are nothing but Vlasov stable homogeneous (zero magnetization) states. There is an infinity of Vlasov stable…

The Hamiltonian Mean Field model describes a system of N fully-coupled particles showing a second-order phase transition as a function of the energy. The dynamics of the model presents interesting features in a small energy region below the…

A generic feature of systems with long-range interactions is the presence of {\it quasi-stationary} states with non-Gaussian single particle velocity distributions. For the case of the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model, we demonstrate that…

In this paper, we explore the metastable behavior of the Glauber dynamics associated with the three-state Potts model with an asymmetrical external field at a low-temperature regime. The model exhibits three monochromatic configurations: a…
Metastability is a physical phenomenon ubiquitous in first order phase transitions. A fruitful mathematical way to approach this phenomenon is the study of rare transitions Markov chains. For Metropolis chains associated with Statistical…
Truly stable metastable states are an artifact of the mean-field approximation or the zero temperature limit. If such appealing concepts in glass theory as configurational entropy are to have a meaning beyond these approximations, one needs…
