Critical Phenomena in Gravitational Collapse [PDF]

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Relativity, 2007
As first discovered by Choptuik, the black hole threshold in the space of initial data for general relativity shows both surprising structure and surprising simplicity.

Parity-time-symmetric quantum critical phenomena [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Parity-time (PT) symmetry has been mainly studied in optical and weakly interacting open quantum systems without many-body correlations. Here the authors show that in a strongly correlated many-body system the interplay between correlations and PT ...

Nonequilibrium Critical Phenomena [PDF]

open access: yesPhysica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2000
We discuss the non-equilibrium critical phenomena in liquids, and the models for these phenomena based on local equilibrium and extended scaling assumptions. Special situations are proposed for experimental tests of the theory.

Unification of the Nature’s Complexities via a Matrix Permanent—Critical Phenomena, Fractals, Quantum Computing, ♯P-Complexity [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
We reveal the analytic relations between a matrix permanent and major nature’s complexities manifested in critical phenomena, fractal structures and chaos, quantum information processes in many-body physics, number-theoretic complexity in ...

Entanglement in quantum critical phenomena [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2002
Quantum phase transitions occur at zero temperature and involve the appearance of long-range correlations. These correlations are not due to thermal fluctuations but to the intricate structure of a strongly entangled ground state of the system.

Ralph Kenna’s Scaling Relations in Critical Phenomena [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
In this note, we revisit the scaling relations among “hatted critical exponents”, which were first derived by Ralph Kenna, Des Johnston, and Wolfhard Janke, and we propose an alternative derivation for some of them. For the scaling relation involving the

Critical Phenomena Inside Global Monopoles [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 1999
The gravitational collapse of a triplet scalar field is examined assuming a hedgehog ansatz for the scalar field. Whereas the seminal work by Choptuik with a single, strictly spherically symmetric scalar field found a discretely self-similar (DSS ...

Effects of inclusions and the presence of an adsorbing surface on lateral and flip-flop phase transitions in fluid membranes

open access: yesScientific African, 2021
In this paper, we first investigate the effects of inclusions on the critical behavior of a fluid bilayer biomembrane made of two incompatible amphiphiles A and B.

Dynamic structure factors of fluid membranes exhibiting lateral and flip-flop transitions: Effects of inclusions and the presence of an interacting wall

open access: yesScientific African, 2021
In this paper, we consider a fluid membrane formed by a mixture of two chemically incompatible lipid molecules A and B. The variation of an adequate parameter (temperature, PH, lateral pressure, etc.) may lead the amphiphile molecules of the bilayer to ...

Superconducting Quantum Critical Phenomena [PDF]

open access: yesReports in Advances of Physical Sciences, 2018
When the superconducting transition temperature Tc sufficiently approaches zero, quantum fluctuations are expected to be overwhelmingly amplified around zero temperature so that the mean-field approximation may break down.
