Khinchin's ergodicity and typicality in statistical mechanics
Dario Lucente, Marco Baldovin, Giacomo Gradenigo +1
The formulation of statistical mechanics in terms of ensembles, originally proposed by Gibbs, has proved to be extremely effective in describing the equilibrium state of many-parti…
The real butterfly effect: from the pop culture to mathematics and physics
Victor de Jesus Valadão, Erik Aurell, Guido Boffetta +3
The "butterfly effect", introduced over half a century ago by Edward Lorenz, has shifted from a cornerstone of dynamical systems to a popular metaphor, yet its true physical manife…
Thermalization in high-dimensional systems: the (weak) role of chaos
Marco Baldovin, Marco Cattaneo, Dario Lucente +2
In their seminal work, Fermi, Pasta, Ulam and Tsingou explored the connection between statistical mechanics and dynamical properties, such as chaos and ergodicity. Even today, seve…
A mean-field theory of effective normal modes in the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou model
Antonio Ponno, Giacomo Gradenigo, Marco Baldovin +1
We present a non-perturbative, mean-field theory for the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou model with quartic interaction, capturing the quasiperiodic features shown by the system at all en…
Thermal equilibrium with generalized time-reversal symmetry
Dario Lucente, Marco Baldovin, Massimiliano Viale +1
In the study of stochastic processes, identifying the parity under time-reversal is essential to verify detailed balance, and to compute the entropy production rate (which is, othe…
On the foundations of statistical mechanics
Marco Baldovin, Giacomo Gradenigo, Angelo Vulpiani +1
Although not as wide, and popular, as that of quantum mechanics, the investigation of fundamental aspects of statistical mechanics constitutes an important research field in the bu…
