Small-amplitude synchronisation in driven Potts models

Abstract

We study driven $q$-state Potts models with thermodynamically consistent dynamics and global coupling. For a wide range of parameters, these models exhibit a dynamical phase transition from decoherent oscillations into a synchronised phase. Starting from a general microscopic dynamics for individual oscillators, we derive the normal form of the high-dimensional Hopf-Bifurcation that underlies the phase transition. The normal-form equations are exact in the thermodynamic limit and close to the bifurcation. Exploiting the symmetry of the model, we solve these equations and thus uncover the intricate stable synchronisation patterns of driven Potts models, characterised by a rich phase diagram. Making use of thermodynamic consistency, we show that synchronisation reduces dissipation in such a way that the most stable synchronised states dissipate the least entropy. Close to the phase transition, our findings condense into a linear dissipation-stability relation that connects entropy production with phase-space contraction, a stability measure. At finite system size, our findings suggest a minimum-dissipation principle for driven Potts models that holds arbitrarily far from equilibrium.
