We derive general bounds on the linear response energy absorption rates of periodically driven many-body systems of spins or fermions on a lattice. We show that for systems with local interactions, energy absorption rate decays…
We investigate the impact of intermittent energy injections on a Brownian particle, modeled as stochastic renewals of its kinetic energy to a fixed value. Between renewals, the particle follows standard underdamped Langevin dynamics. For…
It is shown that a spin system is equivalent to a set of constrained harmonic oscillators. For finite, but large, systems, a continuous approximation to the density of states can be used, and the oscillator frequencies can be exactly…

Systematic inaccuracy is inherent in any computational estimate of a non-linear average, such as the free energy difference (Delta-F) between two states or systems, because of the availability of only a finite number of data values, N. In…

In the present work, we start from a minimal Hamiltonian for Fermi systems where the s-wave scattering is the only low energy constant at play. Many-Body Perturbative approach that is usually valid at rather low density is first discussed.…
We discuss the dynamics and thermodynamics of systems with weak long-range interactions. Generically, these systems experience a violent collisionless relaxation in the Vlasov regime leading to a (usually) non-Boltzmannian quasi stationary…
We establish that if a sequence of spaces equipped with resistance metrics and measures converge with respect to the Gromov-Hausdorff-vague topology, and a certain non-explosion condition is satisfied, then the associated stochastic…
The exchange energy of an arbitrary collinear-spin many-body system in an external magnetic field is a functional of the spin-resolved charge and current densities, $E_x[n_{\uparrow},n_{\downarrow},j_{\uparrow},j_{\downarrow}]$. Within the…
We introduce a Random Energy Model on a hierarchical lattice where the interaction strength between variables is a decreasing function of their mutual hierarchical distance, making it a non-mean field model. Through small coupling series…
We consider a singularly-perturbed nonconvex energy functional which arises in the study of microstructures in shape memory alloys. The scaling law for the minimal energy predicts a transition from a parameter regime in which uniform…
Energy spectrum and thermodynamics of the pseudospin-electron model introduced at the consideration of the anharmonicity effects in high-$T_c$ superconductors are investigated in the dynamical mean field approximation ($d=\infty$ limit). In…
Biological, artificial, and physical systems dissipate energy to accurately transmit information. While tools of information theory have been used to characterize information-processing capabilities, how reliably this information is…

Dynamical correlations of the spin and the energy density are investigated in the critical region of the random transverse-field Ising chain by numerically exact calculations in large finite systems (L<=128). The spin-spin autocorrelation…
