Spontaneous symmetry breaking: variations on a theme
Giovanni Jona-Lasinio
Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is a widespread phenomenon in several areas of physics. In this paper I wish to illustrate some situations where spontaneous symmetry breaking p…
Lagrangian phase transitions in nonequilibrium thermodynamic systems
L. Bertini, A. De Sole, D. Gabrielli +2
In previous papers we have introduced a natural nonequilibrium free energy by considering the functional describing the large fluctuations of stationary nonequilibrium states. Whil…
Action functional and quasi-potential for the Burgers equation in a bounded interval
Lorenzo Bertini, Alberto De Sole, Davide Gabrielli +2
Consider the viscous Burgers equation on the interval with the inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions , . The f…
Analogies in theoretical physics
Giovanni Jona-Lasinio
Analogies have had and continue to have an important role in the development of theoretical physics. They may start from similarities of physical concepts followed by similarities…
From fluctuations in hydrodynamics to nonequilibrium thermodynamics
Giovanni Jona-Lasinio
This paper reports on a macroscopic fluctuation theory developed over the last ten years in collaboration with L. Bertini, A. De Sole, D. Gabrielli and C. Landim. This theory has b…
