Inertial Asynchronous Computation
Doruk Efe Gökmen, Michel Fruchart, Dmitrii Zendrikov +3
Computation is the controlled evolution of a state. Asynchronous evolutions, where all parts of the state change in their own time without stopping each other, put this control in…
Wave turbulence theory of odd fluids and solids: kinetic equations and solutions
Xander M. de Wit, Léo Touzo, Sébastien Galtier +3
The theory of wave turbulence describes the properties of physical systems composed of a set of weak-amplitude random waves interacting nonlinearly. Here, we study odd wave turbule…
Odd wave turbulence
Xander M. de Wit, Léo Touzo, Sébastien Galtier +3
Wave turbulence describes the statistical dynamics of weakly interacting waves in out-of-equilibrium systems. These systems are out of equilibrium because forcing and dissipation o…
Natural Selection in the Wake of Catastrophe
Jesse Young Lin, Omer Granek, Joshua Sodicoff +3
Living organisms, from bacteria to humans, are more likely to survive if their traits enhance fitness. In populations well adapted to their environmental niches, natural selection…
Discovering and decoding latent mean-field structure with variational autoencoders
Marco Biroli, Max Welling, Vincenzo Vitelli
Generative models are increasingly used to capture correlations in many-body systems, but the representations they learn remain largely opaque to physical interpretation. Here, we…
Irregular Metamaterial Networks
Thomas P. Wytock, Chiara Daraio, Heinrich M. Jaeger +4
Metamaterials can achieve exceptional functionality through careful engineering of their mesoscale structure. Although appropriately introduced irregularities can be advantageous,…
