This is a short survey on recent results obtained by the authors on dynamical phase transitions of interacting particle systems. We consider particle systems with exclusion dynamics, but it is conjectured that our results should hold for a…
A model for two-dimensional colloids confined laterally by "structured boundaries" (i.e., ones that impose a periodicity along the slit) is studied by Monte Carlo simulations. When the distance D between the confining walls is reduced at…
We calculate density profiles for self-gravitating clusters of an ideal Bose-Einstein gas with nonrelativistic energy-momentum relation and macroscopic mass at thermal equilibrium. Our study includes clusters with planar symmetry in…
This article is devoted to the study of the dynamical behavior of a collisionless kinetic gas in d=1,2,3 space dimensions which is trapped in a rotationally symmetric potential well. Although at the microscopic level the trajectories of…
We study the stationary state of a simple exclusion process on a ring which was recently introduced by Arndt {\it et al} [J. Phys. A {\bf 31} (1998) L45;cond-mat/9809123]. This model exhibits spatial condensation of particles. It has been…
We present a thermodynamic analysis of spherically symmetric gravitational collapse. Using the Hayward-Kodama formalism, we treat a collapsing sphere as a thermodynamic system and express the surface gravity $\kappa_{hk}$ in terms of the…
This work is devoted to the thermodynamics of gravitational clustering, a collective phenomenon with a great relevance in the $N$-body cosmological problem. We study a classical self-gravitating gas of identical non-relativistic particles…
We give a general introduction to quantum phase transitions in strongly-correlated electron systems. These transitions which occur at zero temperature when a non-thermal parameter $g$ like pressure, chemical composition or magnetic field is…
We study the thermodynamical properties of a one-dimensional gas with one-dimensional gravitational interactions, and placed in a uniform mass background. Periodic boundary conditions are implemented as a modification of the potential…
We study quantum phase transitions out of the fracton ordered phase of the $\mathbb{Z}_N$ X-cube model. These phase transitions occur when various types of sub-dimensional excitations and their composites are condensed. The condensed phases…
We propose to use a cloud of laser cooled atoms in a quasi two dimensional trap to investigate a non equilibrium collapse phase transition in presence of gravitational-like interaction. Using theoretical arguments and numerical simulations,…
Condensation is characterized with a single macroscopic condensate whose mass is proportional to a system size $N$. We demonstrate how important particle interactions are in condensation phenomena. We study a modified version of the…
The gravitational interaction among bodies orbiting in a spherical potential leads to the rapid relaxation of the orbital planes' distribution, a process called vector resonant relaxation. We examine the statistical equilibrium of this…
We present evidence for a phase transition in a theory of 2D causal set quantum gravity which contains a dimensionless non-locality parameter $\epsilon \in (0,1]$. The transition is between a continuum phase and a crystalline phase,…
We study the statistical mechanics of binary systems under gravitational interaction of the Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) in three-dimensional space. Considering the binary systems, in the microcanonical and canonical ensembles, we…
We study condensation transitions in the steady state of a zero-range process with two species of particles. The steady state is exactly soluble -- it is given by a factorised form provided the dynamics satisfy certain constraints -- and we…
The role of thermodynamics in the evolution of systems evolving under purely gravitational forces is not completely established. Both the infinite range and singularity in the Newtonian force law preclude the use of standard techniques.…
We set forth a new type of phase transition that might take place in gravitational theories whenever higher-curvature corrections are considered. It can be regarded as a sophisticated version of the Hawking-Page transition, mediated by the…
A granular system confined in a quasi two-dimensional box that is vertically vibrated can transit to an absorbing state in which all particles bounce vertically in phase with the box, with no horizontal motion. In principle, this state can…
Recently we reported on the condensation of cold, electrostatically trapped dipolar excitons in GaAs bilayer heterostructure into a new, dense and dark collective phase. Here we analyze and discuss in detail the experimental findings and…
