Inferential vs. Dynamical Conceptions of Physics [PDF]
, 2013 I contrast two possible attitudes towards a given branch of physics: as inferential (i.e., as concerned with an agent's ability to make predictions given finite information), and as dynamical (i.e., as concerned with the dynamical equations governing ...

New trends in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics: classical and quantum systems
, 2020 The main aim of this special issue is to report recent advances and new trends in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of classical and quantum systems, from both theoretical and experimental points of view, within an interdisciplinary context.

Statistical mechanics of driven diffusive systems
, 1995 Far-from-equilibrium phenomena, while abundant in nature, are not nearly as well understood as their equilibrium counterparts. On the theoretical side, progress is slowed by the lack of a simple framework, such as the Boltzmann-Gbbs paradigm in the case ...

Statistical properties of microbial phenotypes and colony growth [PDF]
, 2012 Cells are the fundamental units of which all life forms are composed. To understand the elementary organization of life, it is therefore meaningful to start the investigation on the single cell level.Modern microscopy permits the examination of both ...

The Emergence and Interpretation of Probability in Bohmian Mechanics [PDF]
, 2007 A persistent question about the deBroglie–Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics concerns the understanding of Born’s rule in the theory. Where do the quantum mechanical probabilities come from? How are they to be interpreted? These are the problems of

Can the jamming transition be described using equilibrium statistical mechanics?
, 2011 When materials such as foams or emulsions are compressed, they display solid behaviour above the so-called 'jamming' transition. Because compression is done out of equilibrium in the absence of thermal fluctuations, jamming appears as a new kind of a ...

Brussels-Austin Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics in the Later Years: Large Poincaré Systems and Rigged Hilbert Space [PDF]
, 2003 This second part of a two-part essay discusses recent developments in the Brussels-Austin Group after the mid 1980s. The fundamental concerns are the same as in their similarity transformation approach (see Part I), but the contemporary approach utilizes

cond-mat/9806359 STATISTICAL MECHANICS OF VOTING
, 1998 Decision procedures aggregating the preferences of multiple agents can produce cycles and hence outcomes which have been described heuristically as `chaotic'.

Planck's formula and glassy behavior in classical nonequilibrium statistical mechanics
, 2000 In statistical mechanics it is well known that one has to take into account the role of the relaxation times to equilibrium. We discuss the relevance of this fact for systems of weakly coupled harmonic oscillators in a classical framework, showing how ...
