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 Evolving Systems [PDF]
Entropy, 2021 Evolution is customarily perceived as a biological process. However, when formulated in terms of physics, evolution is understood to entail everything.

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

Statistical Physics in Meteorology [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2004 Various aspects of modern statistical physics and meteorology can be tied together. The historical importance of the University of Wroclaw in the field of meteorology is first pointed out.

The Problem of Engines in Statistical Physics. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel), 2021 Engines are open systems that can generate work cyclically at the expense of an external disequilibrium. They are ubiquitous in nature and technology, but the course of mathematical physics over the last 300 years has tended to make their dynamics in time a theoretical blind spot.

Statistical Physics of Structural Glasses [PDF]
, 2000 This paper gives an introduction and brief overview of some of our recent work on the equilibrium thermodynamics of glasses. We have focused onto first principle computations in simple fragile glasses, starting from the two body interatomic potential.
