Phase transitions in the frustrated Ising model on the square lattice

Songbo Jin, Arnab Sen, Wenan Guo +1

We consider the thermal phase transition from a paramagnetic to stripe-antiferromagnetic phase in the frustrated two-dimensional square-lattice Ising model with competing interacti…

Reply to Comment on "Growth Inside a Corner: The Limiting Interface Shape"

Jason Olejarz, P. L. Krapivsky, S. Redner +1

This is a reply to the comment by Singh and Rajesh (arXiv 1212.0946; to appear in PRL) on our paper Olejarz et al., PRL, 108, 016102 (2012) [arxiv 1109.1253]

Quasi-adiabatic quantum Monte Carlo algorithm for quantum evolution in imaginary time

Cheng-Wei Liu, Anatoli Polkovnikov, Anders W. Sandvik

We propose a quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) algorithm for non-equilibrium dynamics in a system with a parameter varying as a function of time. The method is based on successive applicat…

Sublinear but Never Superlinear Preferential Attachment by Local Network Growth

Alan Gabel, S. Redner

We investigate a class of network growth rules that are based on a redirection algorithm wherein new nodes are added to a network by linking to a randomly chosen target node with s…

Void formation in diffusive lattice gases

P. L. Krapivsky, Baruch Meerson, Pavel V. Sasorov

What is the probability that a macroscopic void will spontaneously arise, at a specified time T, in an initially homogeneous gas? We address this question for diffusive lattice gas…

Symmetric Exclusion Process with a Localized Source

P. L. Krapivsky

We investigate the growth of the total number of particles in a symmetric exclusion process driven by a localized source. The average total number of particles entering an initiall…

Many-body energy localization transition in periodically driven systems

Luca D'Alessio, Anatoli Polkovnikov

According to the second law of thermodynamics the total entropy of a system is increased during almost any dynamical process. The positivity of the specific heat implies that the e…

Survival of the Scarcer

Alan Gabel, Baruch Meerson, S. Redner

We investigate extinction dynamics in the paradigmatic model of two competing species A and B that reproduce (A-->2A, B-->2B), self-regulate by annihilation (2A-->0, 2B-->0), and c…

Fate of 2D Kinetic Ising Ferromagnets and Critical Percolation Crossing Probabilities

J. Olejarz, P. L. Krapivsky, S. Redner

We present evidence for a deep connection between the zero-temperature coarsening of the two-dimensional kinetic Ising model (KIM) and critical continuum percolation. In addition t…

Reaction-Diffusion Processes with Nonlinear Diffusion

P. L. Krapivsky

We study reaction-diffusion processes with concentration-dependent diffusivity. First, we determine the decay of the concentration in the single-species and two-species diffusion-c…

Efficiency bounds for nonequilibrium heat engines

Pankaj Mehta, Anatoli Polkovnikov

We analyze the efficiency of thermal engines (either quantum or classical) working with a single heat reservoir like atmosphere. The engine first gets an energy intake, which can b…

Dynamical Quantum Phase Transitions in the Transverse Field Ising Model

Markus Heyl, Anatoli Polkovnikov, Stefan Kehrein

A phase transition indicates a sudden change in the properties of a large system. For temperature-driven phase transitions this is related to non-analytic behavior of the free ener…

Fluctuations of Current in Non-Stationary Diffusive Lattice Gases

P. L. Krapivsky, Baruch Meerson

We employ the macroscopic fluctuation theory to study fluctuations of integrated current in one-dimensional lattice gases with a step-like initial density profile. We analytically…

Driven Brownian coagulation of polymers

P. L. Krapivsky, Colm Connaughton

We present an analysis of the mean-field kinetics of Brownian coagulation of droplets and polymers driven by input of monomers which aims to characterize the long time behavior of…

Conservative model for synchronization problems in complex networks

Cristian E. La Rocca, Lidia A. Braunstein, Pablo A. Macri

In this paper we study the scaling behavior of the interface fluctuations (roughness) for a discrete model with conservative noise on complex networks. Conservative noise is a nois…

A mechanism to synchronize fluctuations in scale free networks using growth models

Cristian E. La Rocca, Ana L. Pastore y Piontti, Lidia A. Braunstein +1

In this paper we study the steady state of the fluctuations of the surface for a model of surface growth with relaxation to any of its lower nearest neighbors (SRAM) [F. Family, J.…

Weak and strong typicality in quantum systems

Lea F. Santos, Anatoli Polkovnikov, Marcos Rigol

We study the properties of mixed states obtained from eigenstates of many-body lattice Hamiltonians after tracing out part of the lattice. Two scenarios emerge for generic systems:…
