Entropy production is a key quantity in any finite-time thermodynamic process. It is intimately
tied with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, embodying a tool to extend …

We study a two-dimensional, nonreciprocal XY model, where each spin interacts only with
its nearest neighbors in a certain angle around its current orientation, ie, its “vision cone.” …

We study time-reversal symmetry breaking in non-Hermitian fluctuating field theories with
conserved dynamics, comprising the mesoscopic descriptions of a wide range of …

Most natural systems operate far from equilibrium, displaying time-asymmetric, irreversible
dynamics characterized by a positive entropy production while exchanging energy and …

We propose a mean-field theory to describe the nonequilibrium phase transition to a
spontaneously oscillating state in spin models. A nonequilibrium generalization of the …

We study a nonequilibrium ferromagnetic mean-field spin model exhibiting a phase with
spontaneous temporal oscillations of the magnetization, on top of the usual paramagnetic …

Starting at the mesoscopic level with a general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics in
terms of Markov jump processes, we identify the scaling conditions that ensure the …

Living and non-living active matter consumes energy at the microscopic scale to drive
emergent, macroscopic behavior including traveling waves and coherent oscillations …

Abstract “Critical transitions”, in which systems switch abruptly from one state to another are
ubiquitous in physical and biological systems. Such critical transitions in complex systems …

Chemical reaction networks can undergo nonequilibrium phase transitions upon variation in
external control parameters, such as the chemical potential of a species. We investigate the …
