Dynamical freezing is a phenomenon where a set of local observables emerges as approximate but stable conserved quantities (freezes) under a strong periodic drive in a closed quantum system. The expectation values of these emergent…

The critical behaviour of many spin models can be equivalently formulated as percolation of specific site-bond clusters. In the presence of an external magnetic field, such clusters remain well-defined and lead to a percolation transition,…

Fluctuation-dominated phase ordering refers to a steady state in which the magnitude of long-range order varies strongly owing to fluctuations, and to the associated coarsening phenomena during the approach to steady state. Strong…
