The Landau problem for inhomogeneous magnetic fields is examined in a very general context and several interesting analogies with the Nielsen-Olesen vortices are established. Firstly we show that the Landau problem with non-homogeneous…
This paper presents an introduction to phase transitions and critical phenomena on the one hand, and nonequilibrium patterns on the other, using the Ginzburg-Landau theory as a unified language. In the first part, mean-field theory is…

Many non-equilibrium processes on scale-free networks present anomalous critical behavior that is not explained by standard mean-field theories. We propose a systematic method to derive stochastic equations for mean-field order parameters…
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…

The quantum theory of near horizon regions of spacetimes with classical spatially flat, homogeneous and isotropic Friedman-Robertson-Walker geometry can be approximately described by a two dimensional conformal field theory. The central…
The Onsager rule determines the frequencies of quantum oscillations in magnetic fields. We show that this rule remains intact to an excellent approximation in the mixed-vortex state of the underdoped cuprates even though the Landau level…
This work extends the theory presented in Mean Field Games with a Dominating Player by Bensoussan, Chau and Yam on mean field games with a dominating player, to the case in which the utility and cost functions depend not only on the law of…
We consider the error arising from the approximation of an N-particle dynamics with its description in terms of a one-particle kinetic equation. We estimate the distance between the j-marginal of the system and the factorized state,…
