Hamiltonian mean field model : effect of temporal perturbation in coupling matrix

Abstract

The Hamiltonian mean-field (HMF) model is a system of fully coupled rotators which exhibits a second-order phase transition at some critical energy in its canonical ensemble. We investigate the case where the interaction between the rotors is governed by a time-dependent coupling matrix. Our numerical study reveals a shift in the critical point due to the temporal modulation. The shift in the critical point is shown to be independent of the modulation frequency above some threshold value, whereas the impact of the amplitude of modulation is dominant. In the microcanonical ensemble, the system with constant coupling reaches a quasi-stationary state (QSS) at an energy near the critical point. Our result indicates that the QSS subsists in presence of such temporal modulation of the coupling parameter.
