Modeling Nonequilibrium Phase Transitions and Critical Behavior in Complex Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
We comment on some recent, yet unpublished results concerning instabilities in complex systems and their applications. In particular, we briefly describe main observations during extensive computer simulations of two lattice nonequilibrium models. One exhibits robust and efficient processes of pattern recognition under synaptic coherent activity; the second example exhibits interesting critical behavior and simulates nucleation and spinodal decomposition processes in driven fluids.

Nonequilibrium quantum criticality in open electronic systems.
A theory is presented of quantum criticality in open (coupled to reservoirs) itinerant-electron magnets, with nonequilibrium drive provided by current flow across the system. Both departures from equilibrium at conventional (equilibrium) quantum critical points and the physics of phase transitions induced by the nonequilibrium drive are treated. Nonequilibrium-induced phase transitions are foun...
متن کاملCritical behavior of nonequilibrium phase transitions to magnetically ordered states.
We describe nonequilibrium phase transitions in arrays of dynamical systems with cubic nonlinearity driven by multiplicative Gaussian white noise. Depending on the sign of the spatial coupling we observe transitions to ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic ordered states. We discuss the phase diagram, the order of the transitions, and the critical behavior. For global coupling we show analytically...
متن کاملABSORBING STATE TRANSITIONS IN CLEAN AND DISORDERED LATTICE MODELS by MAN
Nonequilibrium systems can undergo continuous phase transitions between different steady states. These transitions are characterized by collective fluctuations over large distances and long times similar to the behavior of equilibrium critical points. They also can be divided into different universality classes according to their critical behavior. This dissertation considers two types of noneq...
متن کاملUniversal scaling behavior at the upper critical dimension of nonequilibrium continuous phase transitions.
In this work we analyze the universal scaling functions and the critical exponents at the upper critical dimension of a continuous phase transition. The consideration of the universal scaling behavior yields a decisive check of the value of the upper critical dimension. We apply our method to a nonequilibrium continuous phase transition. By focusing on the equation of state of the phase transit...
متن کاملNonequilibrium phase transitions and a nonequilibrium critical point from anti-de Sitter space and conformal field theory correspondence.
We find novel phase transitions and critical phenomena that occur only outside the linear-response regime of current-driven nonequilibrium states. We consider the strongly interacting (3+1)-dimensional N = 4 large-N(c) SU(N(c)) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a single flavor of fundamental N = 2 hypermultiplet as a microscopic theory. We compute its nonlinear nonballistic quark-charge con...
