Universal Phenomenology at Critical Exceptional Points of Nonequilibrium Models

CP Zelle, R Daviet, A Rosch, S Diehl - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
In thermal equilibrium the dynamics of phase transitions is largely controlled by fluctuation-
dissipation relations: On the one hand, friction suppresses fluctuations, while on the other …

Time-reversal and parity-time symmetry breaking in non-Hermitian field theories

T Suchanek, K Kroy, SAM Loos - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
We study time-reversal symmetry breaking in non-Hermitian fluctuating field theories with
conserved dynamics, comprising the mesoscopic descriptions of a wide range of …

Noise-Induced Phase Separation and Time Reversal Symmetry Breaking in Active Field Theories Driven by Persistent Noise

M Paoluzzi, D Levis, A Crisanti, I Pagonabarraga - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Within the Landau-Ginzburg picture of phase transitions, scalar field theories develop phase
separation because of a spontaneous symmetry-breaking mechanism. This picture works in …

Entropy production in the nonreciprocal Cahn-Hilliard model

T Suchanek, K Kroy, SAM Loos - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
We study the nonreciprocal Cahn-Hilliard model with thermal noise as a prototypical
example of a generic class of non-Hermitian stochastic field theories, analyzed in two …

Irreversibility across a Nonreciprocal -Symmetry-Breaking Phase Transition

H Alston, L Cocconi, T Bertrand - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Nonreciprocal interactions are commonplace in continuum-level descriptions of both
biological and synthetic active matter, yet studies addressing their implications for time …

Nonreciprocal Alignment Induces Asymmetric Clustering in Active Mixtures

KL Kreienkamp, SHL Klapp - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Heterogeneity is ubiquitous in biological and synthetic active matter systems that are
inherently out of equilibrium. Typically, such active mixtures involve not only conservative …

Nonreciprocal Pattern Formation of Conserved Fields

F Brauns, MC Marchetti - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
In recent years, nonreciprocally coupled systems have received growing attention. Previous
work has shown that the interplay of nonreciprocal coupling and Goldstone modes can drive …

Coexistence of uniform and oscillatory states resulting from nonreciprocity and conservation laws

D Greve, G Lovato, T Frohoff-Hülsmann, U Thiele - Physical Review Letters, 2025 - APS
Employing a two-species Cahn-Hilliard model with nonreciprocal interactions, we show that
the interplay of nonreciprocity and conservation laws results in the robust coexistence of …

Phase transitions in single species Ising models with non-reciprocal couplings

A Garcés, D Levis - arXiv preprint arXiv:2411.03544, 2024 - arxiv.org
We present a general framework for incorporating non-reciprocal interactions into the Ising
model with Glauber dynamics, without requiring multiple species. We then focus on a model …

Stochastic thermodynamics of a probe in a fluctuating correlated field

D Venturelli, SAM Loos, B Walter, É Roldán… - Europhysics …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We develop a framework for the stochastic thermodynamics of a probe coupled to a
fluctuating medium with spatio-temporal correlations, described by a scalar field. For a …
