The out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model is studied in presence of an externally imposed magnetic field h. Lynden-Bell's theory of violent relaxation is revisited and shown to adequately capture the system…
Systems with long-range interactions display a short-time relaxation towards Quasi-Stationary States (QSSs), whose lifetime increases with system size. With reference to the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model, we here review Lynden-Bell's…
The violent relaxation and the metastable states of the Hamiltonian Mean-Field model, a paradigmatic system of long-range interactions, is studied using a Hamiltonian formalism. Rigorous results are derived algebraically for the time…
A classical long-range-interacting $N$-particle system relaxes to thermal equilibrium on time scales growing with $N$; in the limit $N\to \infty$ such a relaxation time diverges. However, a completely non-collisional relaxation process,…
Systems with long-range interactions display a short-time relaxation towards Quasi Stationary States (QSSs) whose lifetime increases with system size. The application of Lynden-Bell's theory of "violent relaxation" to the Hamiltonian Mean…
We provide a detailed discussion of out-of-equilibrium phase transitions in the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model in the framework of Lynden-Bell's statistical theory of the Vlasov equation. For two-levels initial conditions, the caloric…
The Hamiltonian Mean-Field model (HMF), an inertial XY ferromagnet with infinite-range interactions, has been extensively studied in the last few years, especially due to its long-lived meta-equilibrium states, which exhibit a series of…
Systems with long-range interactions display a short-time relaxation towards Quasi Stationary States (QSSs) whose lifetime increases with system size. With reference to the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model, we here show that a maximum…
We propose a mean-field theory for nonequilibrium phase transitions to a periodically oscillating state in spin models. A nonequilibrium generalization of the Landau free energy is obtained from the join distribution of the magnetization…
Recently, there has been some vigorous interest in the out-of-equilibrium quasistationary states (QSSs), with lifetimes diverging with the number N of degrees of freedom, emerging from numerical simulations of the ferromagnetic XY…
In $N$-body systems with long-range interactions mean-field effects dominate over binary interactions (collisions), so that relaxation to thermal equilibrium occurs on time scales that grow with $N$, diverging in the $N\to\infty$ limit.…
Violent relaxation is a process that occurs in systems with long-range interactions. It has the peculiar feature of dramatically amplifying small perturbations, and rather than driving the system to equilibrium it instead leads to slowly…
We consider several models with long-range interactions evolving via Hamiltonian dynamics. The microcanonical dynamics of the basic Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model and perturbed HMF models with either global anisotropy or an on-site…
We study dynamical phase transitions in systems with long-range interactions, using the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model as a simple example. These systems generically undergo a violent relaxation to a quasi-stationary state (QSS) before…
We introduce a generalized Hamiltonian Mean Field Model (gHMF)-XY model with both linear and quadratic coupling between spins and explicit Hamiltonian dynamics. In addition to the usual paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases, this model also…
In general, classical fully-connected systems are known to undergo violent relaxation. This phenomenon refers to the relaxation of observables to stationary, non-thermal, values on a finite timescale, despite their long-time dynamics being…
The out-of-equilibrium mean-field dynamics of a model for wave-particle interaction is investigated. Such a model can be regarded as a general formulation for all those applications where the complex interplay between particles and fields…
In this article, several aspects of the dynamics of a toy model for longrange Hamiltonian systems are tackled focusing on linearly unstable unmagnetized (i.e. force-free) cold equilibria states of the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF). For…
The Hamiltonian Mean-Field model has been investigated, since its introduction about a decade ago, to study the equilibrium and dynamical properties of long-range interacting systems. Here we study the long-time behavior of long-lived,…
We examine an inconsistency in theories of violent-relaxation by Lynden-Bell and Nakamura. The inconsistency arises from the non-transitive nature of these theories: a system that under goes a violent-relaxation, relaxes and then upon an…
