Rare events play a crucial role in understanding complex systems. Characterizing and analyzing them in scale-invariant situations is challenging due to strong correlations. In this work, we focus on characterizing the tails of probability distribution functions (PDFs) for these systems. Using a variety of methods, perturbation theory, functional renormalization group, hierarchical models, large $n$ limit, and Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate universal rare events of critical $O(n)$ systems. Additionally, we explore the crossover from universal to nonuniversal behavior in PDF tails, extending Cram'er's series to strongly correlated variables. Our findings highlight the universal and nonuniversal aspects of rare event statistics and challenge existing assumptions about power-law corrections to the leading stretched exponential decay in these tails.
稀有事件在理解复杂系统中起着至关重要的作用。由于存在强相关性,在规模不变的情况下描述和分析稀有事件极具挑战性。在这项工作中,我们重点研究这些系统的概率分布函数(PDF)尾部的特征。我们使用多种方法,包括扰动理论、泛函重正化群、层次模型、大 $n$ 极限和蒙特卡罗模拟,研究临界 $O(n)$ 系统的普遍罕见事件。此外,我们还探索了 PDF 尾部从普遍到非普遍行为的交叉,并将 Cram'er's series 扩展到强相关变量。我们的发现突出了罕见事件统计的普遍性和非普遍性,并挑战了现有的关于在这些尾部对前导拉伸指数衰减进行幂律修正的假设。

The critical phase boundary of a system, in general, can depend on one or more parameters. We show that by calculating the Gini index ($g$) of any suitably defined response function of a system, the critical phase boundary can always be reduced to that of a single parameter, starting from $g=0$ and terminating at $g=g_f$, where $g_f$ is a universal number for a given universality class. We demonstrate the construction with analytical and numerical calculations of mean field transverse field Ising model and site diluted Ising model on the Bethe lattice, respectively. Both models have two parameter phase boundaries -- transverse field and Temperature for the first case and site dilution and temperature in the second case. Both can be reduced to single parameter transition points in terms of the Gini index. The method is generally applicable for any multi-parameter critical transition.

Recently, the full version of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) has been systematized using Free Probability. In this paper, we present a detailed discussion of the Free Cumulants approach to many-body dynamics within the microcanonical ensemble. Differences between the later and canonical averages are known to manifest in the time-dependent fluctuations of extensive operators. Thus, the microcanonical ensemble is essential to extend the application of Free Probability to the broad class of extensive observables. We numerically demonstrate the validity of our approach in a non-integrable spin chain Hamiltonian for extensive observables at finite energy density. Our results confirm the full ETH properties, specifically the suppression of crossing contributions and the factorization of non-crossing ones, thus demonstrating that the microcanonical free cumulants encode ETH smooth correlations for both local and extensive observables.

The physical significance of the stochastic processes associated to the generalized Gibbs ensembles is scrutinized here with special attention to the thermodynamic fluctuations of small systems. The contact with the environment produces an interaction entropy, which controls the distribution of fluctuations and allows writing the generalized Gibbs ensembles for macrostates in potential form. This naturally yields exact nonlinear thermodynamic Langevin equations (TLEs) for such variables, with drift expressed in terms of entropic forces. The analysis of the canonical ensemble for an ideal monoatomic gas and the related TLEs show that introducing currents leads to nonequilibrium heat transfer conditions with interesting bounds on entropy production but with no obvious thermodynamic limit. For a colloidal particle under constant force, the TLEs for macroscopic variables are different from those for the microscopic position, typically used in the so-called stochastic thermodynamics; while TLEs are consistent with the fundamental equation obtained from the Hamiltonian, stochastic thermodynamics requires isothermal conditions and entropy proportional to position.
本文仔细研究了与广义吉布斯集合相关的随机过程的物理意义,并特别关注小系统的热力学波动。与环境的接触产生了相互作用熵,它控制着波动的分布,并允许以势能形式写出宏观状态的广义吉布斯集合。这自然会产生此类变量的精确非线性热力学兰格方程(TLEs),其漂移用熵力表示。对理想单原子气体的典型集合和相关 TLE 的分析表明,引入电流会导致非平衡传热条件,对熵的产生有有趣的限制,但没有明显的热力学极限。对于恒力作用下的胶体粒子,宏观变量的 TLE 与所谓随机热力学通常使用的微观位置变量的 TLE 不同;TLE 与从哈密顿方程得到的基本方程一致,而随机热力学需要等温条件和与位置成比例的熵。

We study percolation problems of overlapping objects where the underlying geometry is such that in D-dimensions, a subset of the directions has a lattice structure, while the remaining directions have a continuum structure. The resulting semicontinuum problem describes the percolation of overlapping shapes in parallel layers or lanes with positional constraints for the placement of the objects along the discrete directions. Several semicontinuum percolation systems are analyzed like hypercuboids with a particular focus on 2D and 3D cases, disks, and parallelograms. Adapting the excluded volume arguments to the semicontinuum setting, we show that for the semicontinuum problem of hypercuboids, for fixed side-lengths of the hypercuboids along the directions in which a lattice structure is maintained, the percolation threshold is always independent of the side-lengths along the continuum directions. The result holds even when there is a distribution for the side-lengths along the continuum directions. Trends in the variation of the thresholds, as we vary the linear measure of the shapes along the continuum directions, are obtained for other semicontinuum models like disks and parallelograms in 2D. The results are compared with those of corresponding continuum and lattice models. For the 2D and 3D models considered, using Monte Carlo simulations, we verify the excluded volume predictions for the trends and numerical values of the percolation thresholds. Very good agreement is seen between the predicted numerical values and the simulation results. The semicontinuum setting also allows us to establish a connection between the percolation problem of overlapping shapes in 2D continuum and triangular lattice. We also verify that the isotropy of the threshold for anisotropic shapes and standard percolation universality class is maintained in the semicontinuum setting.
我们研究的是重叠物体的渗滤问题,在这些物体的底层几何中,在 D 维中,一个方向子集具有晶格结构,而其余方向具有连续结构。由此产生的半连续问题描述了重叠图形在平行层或平行线上的渗滤,并对物体沿离散方向的位置进行了限制。我们分析了几种半真空渗滤系统,如超立方体,尤其侧重于二维和三维案例、圆盘和平行四边形。通过将排除体积论证应用于半真空环境,我们证明了对于超立方体的半真空问题,对于超立方体沿保持晶格结构的方向的固定边长,渗流阈值总是与沿连续方向的边长无关。即使沿连续方向的边长存在分布,结果也是如此。当我们沿连续方向改变形状的线性度量时,阈值的变化趋势也会随之改变,这适用于其他半连续模型,如二维中的圆盘和平行四边形。这些结果与相应的连续体和晶格模型的结果进行了比较。对于所考虑的二维和三维模型,我们利用蒙特卡罗模拟验证了排除体积对渗流阈值趋势和数值的预测。结果表明,预测数值与模拟结果非常吻合。半连续性设置还使我们能够在二维连续性和三角形晶格中重叠形状的渗滤问题之间建立联系。我们还验证了各向异性形状阈值的各向同性和标准渗滤普遍性类在半真空环境中得以保持。

We study the problem of a run and tumble particle in a harmonic trap, with a finite run and tumble time, by a direct integration of the equation of motion. An exact 1D steady state distribution, diagram laws and a programmable Volterra difference equation are derived to calculate any order of moments in any other dimension, both for steady state as well as the Laplace transform in time for the intermediate states. We also use the moments to infer the distribution by considering a Gaussian quadrature for the corresponding measure, and from the scaling law of high order moments.

The behavior of lattice models in which time reversibility is enforced at the level of trajectories (microscopic reversibility) is studied analytically. Conditions for ergodicity breaking are explored, and a few examples of systems characterized by an additional conserved quantity besides energy are presented. All the systems are characterized by ergodicity restoration when put in contact with a thermal bath, except for specific choices of the interactions between the atoms in the system and the bath. The study shows that the additional conserved quantities return to play a role in non-equilibrium conditions, with behaviors similar to those of some mesoscale systems, in which the transition rates satisfy detailed balance but not microscopic reversibility.

For a Markov and stationary stochastic process described by the well-known classical master equation, we introduce complex transition rates instead of real transition rates to study the pre-thermal oscillatory behaviour in complex probabilities. Further, for purely imaginary transition rates we obtain persistent infinitely long lived oscillations in complex probability whose nature depends on the dimensionality of the state space. We also take a peek into cases where we perturb the relaxation matrix for a dichotomous process with an oscillatory drive where the relative sign of the angular frequency of the drive decides whether there will be dissipation in the complex probability or not.

We propose two new kinds of infinite resistor networks based on the Fibonacci sequence: a serial association of resistor sets connected in parallel (type 1) or a parallel association of resistor sets connected in series (type 2). We show that the sequence of the network's equivalent resistance converges uniformly in the parameter $alpha=frac{r_2}{r_1} in [0,+infty)$, where $r_1$ and $r_2$ are the first and second resistors in the network. We also show that these networks exhibit self-similarity and scale invariance, which mimics a self-similar fractal. We also provide some generalizations, including resistor networks based on high-order Fibonacci sequences and other recursive combinatorial sequences.

Hardware-based neuromorphic computing remains an elusive goal with the potential to profoundly impact future technologies and deepen our understanding of emergent intelligence. The learning-from-mistakes algorithm is one of the few training algorithms inspired by the brain's simple learning rules, utilizing inhibition and pruning to demonstrate self-organized learning. Here we implement this algorithm in purely neuromorphic memristive hardware through a co-design process. This implementation requires evaluating hardware trade-offs and constraints. It has been shown that learning-from-mistakes successfully trains small networks to function as binary classifiers and perceptrons. However, without tailoring the hardware to the algorithm, performance decreases exponentially as the network size increases. When implementing neuromorphic algorithms on neuromorphic hardware, we investigate the trade-offs between depth, controllability, and capacity, the latter being the number of learnable patterns. We emphasize the significance of topology and the use of governing equations, demonstrating theoretical tools to aid in the co-design of neuromorphic hardware and algorithms. We provide quantitative techniques to evaluate the computational capacity of a neuromorphic device based on the measurements performed and the underlying circuit structure. This approach shows that breaking the symmetry of a neural network can increase both the controllability and average network capacity. By pruning the circuit, neuromorphic algorithms in all-memristive device circuits leverage stochastic resources to drive local contrast in network weights. Our combined experimental and simulation efforts explore the parameters that make a network suited for displaying emergent intelligence from simple rules.
