It is often stated that if one is presented with a snapshot of the positions of the molecules of a glass and one of a liquid, one is unable to tell the difference. Here we argue instead that given several such snapshots taken over a…
A Hamiltonian model living in a bounded phase space and with long-range interactions is studied. It is shown, by analytical computations, that there exists an energy interval in which the microcanonical entropy is a decreasing convex…

Many models possess unwanted relics, which should be diluted by entropy production just before the big-bang nucleosynthesis. A field responsible for the entropy production may produce stable weakly interacting massive particles, if…

Ultracold atomic systems have been of great research interest in the past, with more recent attention being paid to systems of mixed species. In this work we carry out non-perturbative Path Integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations of N…
The thermodynamic properties: specific heat, entropy, spin susceptibility $\chi_s$ and charge susceptibility $\chi_c$ are studied as a function of temperature and doping within the two-dimensional Hubbard model with various $U/t=4 - 12$.…
It is shown that the residual entropy (entropy minus that of the ideal gas at the same temperature and density) is mostly synonymous with the independent variable of density scaling, identifying a direct link between these two approaches.…

Motivated by growing interests in multicomponent metallic alloys and complex fluids, we study a complex mixture with bidispersity in size and polydispersity in energy. The energy polydispersity in the system is introduced by considering…
A study of the correlation between nuclear temperatures and symmetry energy is presented for heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies via the isospin-dependent quantum molecular-dynamics model. It is found that different symmetry…

Exploiting the first measurements of the same ion species in OO collisons at RHIC and LHC, we propose an observable to distinguish whether collective behavior builds up through a hydrodynamic expansion of a strongly interacting QGP or few…
Random exchange kinetic models are widely employed to describe the conservative dynamics of large interacting systems. Due to their simplicity and generality, they are quite popular in several fields, from statistical mechanics to…
