Supercooled Liquids for Pedestrians

Andrea Cavagna

When we lower the temperature of a liquid, at some point we meet a first order phase transition to the crystal. Yet, under certain conditions it is possible to keep the system in i…

Stability of splay states in globally coupled rotators

Massimo Calamai, Antonio Politi, Alessandro Torcini

The stability of dynamical states characterized by a uniform firing rate ({\it splay states}) is analyzed in a network of globally pulse-coupled rotators (neurons) subject to a…

Even-odd effects in finite Heisenberg spin chains

Paolo Politi, Maria Gloria Pini

Magnetic superlattices and nanowires may be described as Heisenberg spin chains of finite length N, where N is the number of magnetic units (films or atoms, respectively). We study…

Persistent fluctuations in the distribution of galaxies from the Two degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey

Francesco Sylos Labini, Nikolay L. Vasilyev, Yurij V. Baryshev

We apply the scale-length method to several three dimensional samples of the Two degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey. This method allows us to map in a quantitative and powerful wa…

Transmission thresholds in time-periodically driven nonlinear disordered systems

Magnus Johansson, Georgios Kopidakis, Stefano Lepri +1

We study energy propagation in locally time-periodically driven disordered nonlinear chains. For frequencies inside the band of linear Anderson modes, three different regimes are o…

Stochastic dynamics of a sheared granular medium

Alberto Petri, Andrea Baldassarri, Fergal Dalton +3

We experimentally investigate the response of a sheared granular medium in a Couette geometry. The apparatus exhibits the expected stick-slip motion and we probe it in the very int…
