Critical fluctuations, intermittent dynamics and Tsallis statistics
نویسنده
چکیده
It is pointed out that the dynamics of the order parameter at a thermal critical point obeys the precepts of the nonextensive Tsallis statistics. We arrive at this conclusion by putting together two welldefined statistical-mechanical developments. The first is that critical fluctuations are correctly described by the dynamics of an intermittent nonlinear map. The second is that intermittency in the neighborhood of a tangent bifurcation in such map rigorously obeys nonextensive statistics. We comment on the implications of this result.

Universality of First and Second Order Phase Transition in Solar Activity: Evidence for Nonextensive Tsallis Statistics
In this work, we present the coexistence of self-organized criticality (SOC) and low-dimensional chaos at solar activity with results obtained by using the intermittent turbulence theory, the nonextensive q-statistics of Tsallis as well as the singular value decomposition analysis. Particularly, we show the independent dynamics of sunspot system related to the convection zone of sun and the sol...
متن کاملHow the Nonextensivity Parameter Affects Energy Fluctuations
In this article, the effect of the nonextensivity parameter on the energy fluctuations of nonextensive systems is studied in two different versions of the Tsallis statistical mechanics. Once a general expression has been reported for the energy fluctuations in the second version (Tsallis work in 1988), the energy fluctuations of an ideal gas and a harmonic oscillator are studied in the second a...
متن کاملTsallis and Levy statistics in the preparation of an earthquake
Precursory fracture induced electromagnetic (EM) emissions, rooted in opening cracks and ranging from MHz to kHz, with the MHz appearing earlier, are produced and detected both at laboratory and geophysical scale. Recently, we have proposed the following two epochs/stages model of EQ generation: (i) The final kHz part is triggered by the fracture of high strength and large asperities that are d...
متن کاملGeneralized spin-glass relaxation.
Spin relaxation close to the glass temperature of CuMn and AuFe spin glasses is shown, by neutron spin echo, to follow a generalized exponential function which explicitly introduces hierarchically constrained dynamics and macroscopic interactions. The interaction parameter is directly related to the normalized Tsallis nonextensive entropy parameter q and exhibits universal scaling with reduced ...
متن کاملIntermittency at critical transitions and aging dynamics at edge of chaos
We recall that, at both the intermittency transitions and at the Feigenbaum attractor in unimodal maps of non-linearity of order ζ > 1, the dynamics rigorously obeys the Tsallis statistics. We account for the q-indices and the generalized Lyapunov coefficients λq that characterize the universality classes of the pitchfork and tangent bifurcations. We identify the Mori singularities in the Lyapu...
