We present a stability analysis of the 2D t-t' Hubbard model on a square lattice for various values of the next-nearest-neighbor hopping t' and electron concentration. Using the free energy expression, derived by means of the flow equations…
First-order phase transition in a highly correlated electron system can manifest as a dynamic phenomenon. The presence of multiple domains of the coexisting phases average out the dynamical effects making it nearly impossible to predict the…
The existence of phase-separated states is an essential feature of infinite-volume systems with a thermal, first-order phase transition. At energies between those at which the phase transition takes place, equilibrium homogeneous states are…
In a cosmological first-order phase transition, bubbles of the stable phase nucleate and expand in the supercooled metastable phase. In many cases, the growth of bubbles reaches a stationary state, with bubble walls propagating as…
The holographic approach is applied to study the chaotic behaviour of a strongly coupled $Q \bar Q$ pair in general thermal background. We consider two different backgrounds, one with finite temperature and baryon density, and one with…
In this paper, we investigate the transport coefficients of a strongly coupled plasma in the context of holographic QCD models based on Einstein-dilaton gravity that are compatible with linear confinement at zero temperature. At finite…
Driving a system out of equilibrium enriches the paradigm of spontaneous symmetry breaking, which could then take place not only in space but also in time. The interplay between temporal and spatial symmetries, as well as symmetries from…
Near the critical point in the QCD phase diagram, hydrodynamics breaks down at a momentum where the frequency of the fastest hydrodynamic mode becomes comparable with the decay rate of the slowest non-hydrodynamic mode. Hydro+ was developed…
We investigate the collective dynamics of a population of XY model-type oscillators, globally coupled via non-separable interactions that are randomly chosen from a positive or negative value, and subject to thermal noise controlled by…
We consider thermal QCD in the large N_C limit, mainly in 1+1 dimensions. The gauge coupling is only taken into account to minimal order, by projection onto colour singlets. An expression for the free energy, exact as N_C goes to infinity,…
We study holographic superconductor model with two scalar fields coupled to one single Maxwell field in the AdS soliton background away from the probe limit. We disclose properties of phase transitions mostly from the holographic…
Here we first develop the thermodynamics of microcanonical phase transitions of first and second order in systems which are thermodynamically stable in the sense of van Hove. We show how both kinds of phase transitions can unambiguously be…
We interpret the upper-critical-field anomalies observed in some high- temperature superconductors as resulting from the proximity to a zero-temperature quantum critical point. We estimate the shape of the phase boundary between the normal…
We point out an elementary thermodynamics fact that whenever the specific heat of a system is negative, the speed of sound in such a media is imaginary. The latter observation presents a proof of Gubser-Mitra conjecture on the relation…
The superconducting instabilities of the doped repulsive 2D Hubbard model are studied in the intermediate to strong coupling regime with help of the Dynamical Cluster Approximation (DCA). To solve the effective cluster problem we employ an…
Cool cluster cores are in global thermal equilibrium but are locally thermally unstable. We study a nonlinear phenomenological model for the evolution of density perturbations in the ICM due to local thermal instability and gravity. We have…
Using linear response theory with the dynamical mean-field approximation we investigate the particle-hole instabilities of the two-band Hubbard model in the vicinity of the spin-state transition. Besides the previously reported…
We investigate the dynamical stability and phase transition behavior in a holographic superfluid model incorporating higher-order self-interaction terms $\lambda |\psi|^4$, $\tau|\psi|^6$, and a non-minimal coupling…
We discuss homogeneous nucleation in a first-order chiral phase transition within an effective field theory approach to low-energy QCD. Exact decay rates and bubble profiles are obtained numerically and compared to analytic results obtained…
Consider at a finite temperature $T$ a superfluid moving with a velocity $v$ relative to the thermal bath or its normal component. From Landau's argument there exists a critical $v_c (T)$ beyond which excitations can be spontaneously…
