Truly stable metastable states are an artifact of the mean-field approximation or the zero temperature limit. If such appealing concepts in glass theory as configurational entropy are to have a meaning beyond these approximations, one needs…
Activity-driven glassy dynamics, while ubiquitous in collective cell migration, intracellular transport, dynamics in bacterial and ant colonies, etc., also extend the scope and extent of the as-yet mysterious physics of glass transition.…
Many-body long-range interacting systems can remain approximately in a quasi-stationary state far-from-thermodynamic equilibrium. These states are typically characterized by a pair of counter-propagating density clusters, or by a single…
In this paper we present an exact study of the relaxation dynamics of the backgammon model. This is a model of a gas of particles in a discrete space which presents glassy phenomena as a result of {\it entropy barriers} in configuration…
We study a conservative stochastic lattice dynamics (Kawasaki dynamics) in contact everywhere in the bulk with a heat bath. Particles interact via an Ising Hamiltonian and phase separation occurs at low temperature. We drive the system out…
We analyze numerically the out-of-equilibrium relaxation dynamics of a long-range Hamiltonian system of $N$ fully coupled rotators. For a particular family of initial conditions, this system is known to enter a particular regime in which…
We describe a one-dimensional self-gravitating system derived from the problem of large-scale structure formation in cosmology. Considering small times so that the expansion can be neglected we present a thermodynamical analysis of this…
This Chapter contains an overview of the effects of nonlinear interactions in selected problems of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Most of the emphasis is put on open setups, where energy is exchanged with the environment. With…
In this note we summarize the connections between equilibrium and slow out of equilibrium dynamics in finite dimensional glasses, such as we understand them today. If we assume that a finite-dimensional system is stable with respect to a…
In a vast class of systems, which includes members as diverse as sedimenting particles and bird flocks, interactions do not stem from a potential, and are in general nonreciprocal. Thus, it is not possible to define a conventional energy…
We present a numerical study of the non-equilibrium dynamics of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. We analize the overlap distribution between the configurations visited at the time t and in particular its scaling behaviour with the size of…
We study the phase diagram of two different Hamiltonians with competiting local, nearest-neighbour, and mean-field couplings. The first example corresponds to the HMF Hamiltonian with an additional short-range interaction. The second…
We consider general systems that start from and/or end in thermodynamic equilibrium while experiencing a finite rate of change of their energy density or other intensive quantities $q$ at intermediate times. We demonstrate that at these…
Quantum systems are invariably open, evolving under surrounding influences rather than in isolation. Standard open quantum system methods eliminate all information on the environmental state to yield a tractable description of the system…
Thermostated tethered harmonic lattices provide good illustrations of the phase-space dimensionality loss which occurs in the strange-attractor distributions characterizing stationary nonequilibrium flows. We use time-reversible…
The mean-field theory (MFT) of simple glasses, which is exact in the limit of infinite spatial dimensions, $d\rightarrow\infty$, offers theoretical insight as well as quantitative predictions about certain features of $d=3$ systems. In…
The Hamiltonian dynamics of spherically symmetric massive thin shells in the general relativity is studied. Two different constraint dynamical systems representing this dynamics have been described recently; the relation of these two…
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…
Nonequilibrium steady states in driven diffusive systems exhibit many features which are surprising or counterintuitive, given our experience with equilibrium systems. We introduce the prototype model and review its unusual behavior in…
New methods are presented which enables one to analyze the thermodynamics of systems with long-range interactions. Generically, such systems have entropies which are non-extensive, (do not scale with the size of the system). We show how to…
