Amir Bar 1 Satya N. Majumdar 2 Gregory Schehr 2 David Mukamel 1 Physical Review E , American Physical Society (APS), 2016, 93, pp.052130 We study extreme value statistics (EVS) for spatially extended models exhibiting mixed order phase transitions (MOT). These are phase transitions which exhibit features common to both first order (discontinuity of the […]

Satya N. Majumdar 1 Sanjib Sabhapandit 2 Gregory Schehr 1 Physical Review E , American Physical Society (APS), 2016, 94 (6), pp.062131 We study the probability density function (PDF) of the cover time $t_c$ of a finite interval of size $L$, by $N$ independent one-dimensional Brownian motions, each with diffusion constant $D$. The cover time

Filippo Caracciolo 1 Marta Filibian 1 Pietro Carretta 1 Alberto Rosso 2 Andrea De Luca 2 PCCP : Physical chemistry chemical physics, Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016, 18, pp.25655 In a dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) procedure, the compound is driven out-of-equilibrium by microwave irradiation of the dipolar electron spins of the radical. The main outcome

Andrea De Luca 1 Giuseppe Mussardo 2, 3 Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, IOP Science, 2016, 064011 We study the equilibration properties of classical integrable field theories at a finite energy density, with a time evolution that starts from initial conditions far from equilibrium. These classical field theories may be regarded as quantum

Ignacio Martinez 1 Artyom Petrosyan 1 David Guéry-Odelin 2 Emmanuel Trizac 3 Sergio Ciliberto 1 Nature Physics, Nature Publishing Group, 2016, 12, pp.843-846. <10.1038/nphys3758> A fundamental and intrinsic property of any device or natural system is its relaxation time relax, which is the time it takes to return to equilibrium after the sudden change of

Gernot Akemann 1, 2 Eugene Strahov 3 Communications in Mathematical Physics, Springer Verlag, 2016, 345 (1), pp.101 We study the singular values of the product of two coupled rectangular random matrices as a determinantal point process. Each of the two factors is given by a parameter dependent linear combination of two independent, complex Gaussian random

Aurélien Grabsch 1 Christophe Texier 1 Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, IOP Publishing, 2016, 49 (20), pp.465002 An invariant ensemble of $N\times N$ random matrices can be characterised by a joint distribution for eigenvalues $P(\lambda_1,\cdots,\lambda_N)$. The study of the distribution of linear statistics, i.e. of quantities of the form $L=(1/N)\sum_if(\lambda_i)$ where $f(x)$ is

T. Congy 1 A. M. Kamchatnov 2 N. Pavloff 1 SciPost Physics, 2016, 1 (1), pp.006 We study one dimensional mixtures of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates in the limit where the intra-species and inter-species interaction constants are very close. Near the mixing-demixing transition the polarization and the density dynamics decouple. We study the nonlinear polarization waves,
