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…
Ideal Bose-Einstein condensation in the canonical ensemble: exact asymptotic estimates from large deviations
Giacomo Gradenigo, Dario Lucente, Luca Salasnich
In this work we present a large-deviations approach to the calculation of the canonical partition function for free bosons. Three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensation is studied…
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…
Novel Kuramoto model with inhibition dynamics modeling scale-free avalanches and synchronization in neuronal cultures
Dario Lucente, Letizia Cerutti, Martina Brofiga +5
Neuronal cultures exhibit a complex activity, bursts, or avalanches, characterized by the coexistence of scale invariance and synchronization, quite stable with the percentage of i…
Entropy production and irreversibility in the linearized stochastic Amari neural model
Dario Lucente, Giacomo Gradenigo, Luca Salasnich
One among the most intriguing results coming from the application of statistical mechanics to the study of brain is the understanding that it, as a dynamical system, is inherently…
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…
Optimal Control of an Electromechanical Energy Harvester
Dario Lucente, Alessandro Manacorda, Andrea Plati +2
Many techniques originally developed in the context of deterministic control theory have been recently applied to the quest for optimal protocols in stochastic processes. Given a s…
Detecting time-irreversibility in multiscale systems: correlation and response functions in the Lorenz96 model
Niccolò Cocciaglia, Dario Lucente
Due to their relevance to geophysical systems, the investigation of multiscale systems through the lens of statistical mechanics has gained popularity in recent years. The aim of o…
Conceptual and practical approaches for investigating irreversible processes
Dario Lucente, Marco Baldovin, Fabio Cecconi +5
Current research in statistical mechanics mostly concerns the investigation of out-of-equilibrium, irreversible processes, which are ubiquitous in nature and still far from being t…
Response of Worm-like Chains to Traveling-Wave Active Forces
Fabio Cecconi, Dario Lucente, Andrea Puglisi +1
We present a simplified theory for semiflexible flagella under the action of a traveling-wave perturbation that emulates the organized active forces generated by molecular motors,…
Thermalization is typical in large classical and quantum harmonic systems
Marco Cattaneo, Marco Baldovin, Dario Lucente +2
We establish an analytical criterion for dynamical thermalization within harmonic systems, applicable to both classical and quantum models. Specifically, we prove that thermalizati…
H-theorem at negative temperature: the random exchange model with bounds
Dario Lucente, Marco Baldovin, Andrea Puglisi +1
Random exchange kinetic models are widely employed to describe the conservative dynamics of large interacting systems. Due to their simplicity and generality, they are quite popula…
A Markovian approach to the Prandtl-Tomlinson frictional model
Dario Lucente, Alberto Petri, Angelo Vulpiani
We consider the Prandtl-Tomlinson model in the case of a constant driving force and in the presence of thermal fluctuations. We show that the system dynamics is well reproduced by…
Statistical features of systems driven by non-Gaussian processes: theory & practice
Dario Lucente, Andrea Puglisi, Massimiliano Viale +1
Nowadays many tools, e.g. fluctuation relations, are available to characterize the statistical properties of non-equilibrium systems. However, most of these tools rely on the assum…
Revealing the Nonequilibrium Nature of a Granular Intruder: The Crucial Role of Non-Gaussian Behavior
Dario Lucente, Massimiliano Viale, Andrea Gnoli +2
The characterization of the distance from equilibrium is a debated problem in particular in the treatment of experimental signals. If the signal is a 1-dimensional time-series, suc…
Inference in non-equilibrium systems from incomplete information: the case of linear systems and its pitfalls
Dario Lucente, Andrea Baldassarri, Andrea Puglisi +2
Data from experiments and theoretical arguments are the two pillars sustaining the job of modelling physical systems through inference. In order to solve the inference problem, the…
