Beyond the cosmological standard model

A Joyce, B Jain, J Khoury, M Trodden - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier

Non-reciprocal phase transitions

M Fruchart, R Hanai, PB Littlewood, V Vitelli - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Out of equilibrium, a lack of reciprocity is the rule rather than the exception. Non-reciprocity
occurs, for instance, in active matter,,,,–, non-equilibrium systems,–, networks of neurons …

Superdiffusion in spin chains

An introduction to spontaneous symmetry breaking

A Beekman, L Rademaker, J Van Wezel - SciPost Physics Lecture Notes, 2019 - scipost.org
Perhaps the most important aspect of symmetry in physics is the idea that a state does not
need to have the same symmetries as the theory that describes it. This phenomenon is …

Superuniversality of superdiffusion

E Ilievski, J De Nardis, S Gopalakrishnan, R Vasseur… - Physical Review X, 2021 - APS
