Banded Chaos and Time-Semicrystalline Order

Matteo Baggioli

Recent work has introduced the notion of a time semicrystal, a driven nonequilibrium regime in which subharmonic temporal order survives inside deterministic chaos. Here we revisit…

Rare Events Govern Defect Formation under Weak Symmetry Breaking

Jiang Liu, Peng Yang, Matteo Baggioli

Crossing a continuous phase transition out of equilibrium typically generates topological defects whose density obeys a universal power-law scaling predicted by the Kibble-Zurek me…

Three-stage melting of a macroscopic continuous spacetime crystal

Guoqing Liu, Jimin Bai, Matteo Baggioli +1

A spacetime crystal is a phase of matter that spontaneously develops periodic order in both space and time. Spacetime crystals have been experimentally observed in microscopic quan…

Nonequilibrium steady states in driven holographic Weyl semi-metals

Matteo Baggioli, Sebastian Grieninger, James Stokes

Three-dimensional Weyl materials provide a controlled setting for exploring Floquet dynamics in open quantum systems, including nonequilibrium steady states (NESS). Motivated by th…

Topological Defect Formation Beyond the Kibble-Zurek Mechanism in Crossover Transitions with Approximate Symmetries

Peng Yang, Chuan-Yin Xia, Sebastian Grieninger +2

The formation of topological defects during continuous second-order phase transitions is well described by the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM). However, when the spontaneously broken…

Dissipation induced elastic-mode instability with topological excitation in holographic non-equilibrium steady cnoidal wave supersolid

Peng Yang, Yu Tian, Matteo Baggioli

The possible existence of an exotic phase of matter rigid like a solid but able to sustain persistent and dissipation-less flow like a superfluid, a "supersolid", has been the subj…
