Statistical physics of balance theory. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Triadic relationships are accepted to play a key role in the dynamics of social and political networks. Building on insights gleaned from balance theory in social network studies and from Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical physics, we propose a model to ...

Homotopy in statistical physics [PDF]
Condensed Matter Physics, 2006 In condensed matter physics and related areas, topological defects play important roles in phase transitions and critical phenomena. Homotopy theory facilitates the classification of such topological defects.

Statistical Physics of RNA-folding [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2002 We discuss the physics of RNA as described by its secondary structure. We examine the static properties of a homogeneous RNA-model that includes pairing and base stacking energies as well as entropic costs for internal loops.

Information in statistical physics [PDF]
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part B: Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics, 2005 We review with a tutorial scope the information theory foundations of quantum statistical physics. Only a small proportion of the variables that characterize a system at the microscopic scale can be controlled, for both practical and theoretical reasons,

Statistical Physics of Adaptation [PDF]
Physical Review X, 2016 Whether by virtue of being prepared in a slowly relaxing, high-free energy initial condition, or because they are constantly dissipating energy absorbed from a strong external drive, many systems subject to thermal fluctuations are not expected to behave
