Ising Models of Cooperativity in Muscle Contraction
Elaheh Saadat, Matthieu Caruel, Stefano Gherardini +6
Regulation of contraction in striated muscle is controlled by a dual mechanism involving both thin filaments containing actin and thick filaments containing myosin. The thin filame…
Ensemble Inequivalence in Ising Chains with Competing Interactions
Alessandro Campa, Vahan Hovhannisyan, Stefano Ruffo +1
We study the effect of competing interactions on ensemble inequivalence. We consider a one-dimensional Ising model with ferromagnetic mean-field interactions and short-range neares…
Ensemble inequivalence in long-range quantum systems
Nicolò Defenu, David Mukamel, Stefano Ruffo
Ensemble inequivalence, i.e. the possibility of observing different thermodynamic properties depending on the statistical ensemble which describes the system, is one of the hallmar…
1953: Fermi's "little discovery" and the birth of the numerical experiment
Stefano Lepri, Roberto Livi, Stefano Ruffo
The year 1953 is pivotal for computational physics: the first application of the Monte-Carlo method is published and calculations of the so-called Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou experime…
Conformal order and Poincar-Klein mapping underlying electrostatics-driven inhomogeneity in tethered membranes
Honghui Sun, Zhenwei Yao
Understanding the organization of matter under the long-range electrostatic force is a fundamental problem in multiple fields. In this work, based on the electrically charged tethe…
Transition to anomalous dynamics in a simple random map
Jin Yan, Moitrish Majumdar, Stefano Ruffo +3
The famous Bernoulli shift (or dyadic transformation) is perhaps the simplest deterministic dynamical system exhibiting chaotic dynamics. It is a piecewise linear time-discrete map…
