Exact results for the extreme Thouless effect in a model of network dynamics

R. K. P. Zia, Weibin Zhang, Mohammadmehdi Ezzatabadipour +1

If a system undergoing phase transitions exhibits some characteristics of both first and second order, it is said to be of 'mixed order' or to display the Thouless effect. Such a t…

Non-equilibrium statistical mechanics of a two-temperature Ising ring with conserved dynamics

Nicholas Borchers, Michel Pleimling, R. K. P. Zia

The statistical mechanics of a one-dimensional Ising model in thermal equilibrium is well-established, textbook material. Yet, when driven far from equilibrium by coupling two sect…

Exact results for a simple epidemic model on a directed network: Explorations of a system in a non-equilibrium steady state

Maxim S. Shkarayev, R. K. P. Zia

Motivated by fundamental issues in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics (NESM), we study the venerable susceptible-infected (SIS) model of disease spreading in an idealized, simpl…

Modeling Translation in Protein Synthesis with TASEP: A Tutorial and Recent Developments

R. K. P. Zia, J. J. Dong, B. Schmittmann

The phenomenon of protein synthesis has been modeled in terms of totally asymmetric simple exclusion processes (TASEP) since 1968. In this article, we provide a tutorial of the bio…

Power Spectra of a Constrained Totally Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process

L. Jonathan Cook, R. K. P. Zia

To synthesize proteins in a cell, an mRNA has to work with a finite pool of ribosomes. When this constraint is included in the modeling by a totally asymmetric simple exclusion pro…

Twenty five years after KLS: A celebration of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics

R. K. P. Zia

When Lenz proposed a simple model for phase transitions in magnetism, he couldn't have imagined that the "Ising model" was to become a jewel in field of equilibrium statistical mec…
