Within the framework of an exactly solvable model, which takes into account the interaction of fluctuating modes with equal and opposite momenta, we consider phase diagrams in systems with coupled scalar order parameters. We show that, in…
Equation of state of uncharged bosonic matter is studied within a field-theoretical approach in the mean-field approximation. Interaction of bosons is described by a scalar field $\sigma$ with a Skyrme-like potential which contains both…
The anharmonic vibrator and rotor regions in nuclei are investigated in the framework of the interacting boson model using an ensemble of random one- and two-body interactions. We find a predominance of L(P)=0(+) ground states, as well as…
The relation between thermodynamic phase transitions in classical systems and topology changes in their state space is discussed for systems in which equivalence of statistical ensembles does not hold. As an example, the spherical model…
We discuss various aspects of the randomly interacting directed polymers with emphasis on the phases and phase transition. We also discuss the behaviour of overlaps of directed paths in a random medium.
We review a collection of models of random simplicial complexes together with some of the most exciting phenomena related to them. We do not attempt to cover all existing models, but try to focus on those for which many important results…
We study conformal field theories describing two massless one-dimensional fields interacting at a single spatial point. The interactions we include are periodic functions of the bosonized fields separately plus a ``magnetic'' interaction…
Spin-crossover has a wide range of applications from memory devices to sensors. This has to do mainly with the nature of the transition, which may be abrupt, gradual or incomplete and may also present hysteresis. This transition alters the…
We discuss here the use of generalized forms of entropy, taken as information measures, to characterize phase transitions and critical behavior in thermodynamic systems. Our study is based on geometric considerations pertaining to the space…
The role of background in bosonic quantum statistics is discussed in the frame of a new approach in terms of coherent states. Bosons are indeed detected in different physical situations where they exhibit different and apparently…
We describe a random matrix approach that can provide generic and readily soluble mean-field descriptions of the phase diagram for a variety of systems ranging from QCD to high-T_c materials. Instead of working from specific models, phase…
The introduction of a metric onto the space of parameters in models in Statistical Mechanics and beyond gives an alternative perspective on their phase structure. In such a geometrization, the scalar curvature, R, plays a central role. A…
We investigate interacting phase oscillators whose mean field is at a different frequency from the mean or mode of their natural frequencies. The associated asymmetries lead to a macroscopic travelling wave. We show that the mean ensemble…
Our general subject is the emergence of phases, and phase transitions, in large networks subjected to a few variable constraints. Our main result is the analysis, in the model using edge and triangle subdensities for constraints, of a sharp…
We develop a discrete Boltzmann-type model that uses dynamics in phase space to describe the behavior of traffic flows. Firstly, we model the traffic flow at mesoscopic scale using dynamics in phase space, which is considered as an…
One-dimensional Bose-Hubbard models are well known to obey a transition from regular to quantum-chaotic spectral statistics. We are extending this concept to relatively simple two-dimensional many-body models. Also in two dimensions a…
Shape information is of great importance in many applications. For example, the oil-bearing capacity of sand bodies, the subterranean remnants of ancient rivers, is related to their cross-sectional shapes. The analysis of these shapes is…
We give a survey of some known results and of the many open questions in the study of generic phenomena in geometrically interesting groups.
Thermodynamics properties of an interacting system of bosons are considered at finite temperatures and zero chemical potential within the Skyrme-like mean-field model. An interplay between attractive and repulsive interactions is…
We investigate a spatial random graph model whose vertices are given as a marked Poisson process on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Edges are inserted between any pair of points independently with probability depending on the spatial displacement of the…
