The phase oscillator model with global coupling is extended to the case of finite-range nonlocal coupling. Under suitable conditions, peculiar patterns emerge in which a quasi-continuous array of identical oscillators separates sharply into…
We introduce a new model of aggregation of particles where in addition to diffusion and aggregation upon contact, a single unit of mass can dissociate from a conglomerate. This dissociation move conserves the total mass and leads to a…
In all dimensions, infinite-range Kawasaki spin exchange in a quenched Ising model leads to an asymptotic length-scale $L \sim (\rho t)^{1/2} \sim t^{1/3}$ at $T=0$ because the kinetic coefficient is renormalized by the broken-bond density,…
We study flocking in one dimension, introducing a lattice model in which particles can move either left or right. We find that the model exhibits a continuous nonequilibrium phase transition from a condensed phase, in which a single `flock'…
The coupling of branching-annihilating random walks to a static field with a local conservation law is shown to change the scaling properties of their phase transitions to absorbing states. In particular, we find that DP-class transitions…
Based on static and dynamical density functional theory, a phase-field-crystal model is derived which involves both the translational density and the orientational degree of ordering as well as a local director field. The model exhibits…
The kinetics of an initially undercooled solid-liquid melt is studied by means of a generalized Phase Field model, which describes the dynamics of an ordering non-conserved field phi (e.g. solid-liquid order parameter) coupled to a…
Dynamical systems may host a number of remarkable symmetry-protected phases that are qualitatively different from their static analogs. In this work, we consider the phase space of symmetry-respecting unitary evolutions in detail and…
The BKT transition in low-dimensional systems with a $U(1)$ global symmetry separates a gapless conformal phase from a trivially gapped, disordered phase, and is driven by vortex proliferation. Recent developments in modified Villain…
We study damage spreading in models of two-dimensional systems undergoing first order phase transitions. We consider several models from the same non-conserved order parameter universality class, and find unexpected differences between…
We theoretically and numerically investigate a two-dimensional O(2) model where an order parameter is convected by shear flow. We show that a long-range phase order emerges in two dimensions as a result of anomalous suppression of phase…
We elucidate that the nearly phase-ordered active XY spins in contact with a conserved, diffusing species on a substrate can be stable. For wide-ranging model parameters, it has stable uniform phases robust against noises. These are…
We consider the phase-ordering kinetics of one-dimensional scalar systems. For attractive long-range ($r^{-(1+\sigma)}$) interactions with $\sigma>0$, ``Energy-Scaling'' arguments predict a growth-law of the average domain size $L \sim…
In this work, we investigate an important class of nonequilibrium dynamics in the form of nonreciprocal interactions. In particular, we study how nonreciprocal coupling between two $O(n_i)$ order parameters (with $i=1,2$) affects the…
The continuous phase transition, indicated by the macroscopic order parameter and the occurrence of the spontaneous symmetry breaking, is well illustrated based on the Ginzburg-Landau's paradigm. In systems described by one order parameter,…
Phase transitions, as one of the most intriguing phenomena in nature, are divided into first-order phase transitions (FOPTs) and continuous ones in current classification. While the latter shows striking phenomena of scaling and…
In this paper, we study the mean-field dynamics of a general class of many-body systems with stochastically fluctuating interactions. Our findings reveal a universal algebraic decay of the order parameter $m(t)\sim t^{-\chi}$ with an…
We consider the out-of-equilibrium evolution of a classical condensate field and its quantum fluctuations for a scalar O(N) model with spontaneously broken symmetry. In contrast to previous studies we do not consider the large N limit, but…
We analyze numerically three different models exhibiting an absorbing phase transition. We focus on the finite-size scaling as well as the dynamical scaling behavior. An accurate determination of several critical exponents allows to…
Using Monte Carlo simulations, we show that for a certain model of biological evolution, which is driven by non-extremal dynamics, active and absorbing phases are separated by a critical phase. In this phase both the density of active sites…
