Of particular relevance to this question is the behavior of the typical free energy difference restricted to a finite volume between two such putative Gibbs states, as well as the nature of the fluctuations of their free energy difference as the couplings within the volume vary. In this paper we investigate these free energy difference fluctuations by introducing a new kind of metastate which classifies Gibbs states through their edge overlap values with a reference Gibbs state randomly chosen from the support of the periodic boundary condition (PBC) metastate. We find that the free energy difference between any two incongruent pure states, regardless of the details of how they’re organized into mixed states within the PBC metastate, converges to a Gaussian (or Gaussian-like) distribution whose variance scales with the volume, proving a decades-old conjecture of Fisher and Huse. The same conclusion applies, though with some additional restrictions, to both mixed Gibbs states and ground states. We discuss some implications of these results.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142434800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The non-Hermitian dynamical matrix of the network undergoes a stability-to-instability transition at the exceptional points as the coupling strength between the scalar fields increases. The open network in the unstable regime, marked by the emergence of inverted oscillator modes, does not acquire a steady state, and the heat conduction is then unbounded for general bath couplings. In this work, we engineer a unique bath coupling where a single bath is connected to two fields at each edge with the same strength. This configuration leads to a finite steady-state heat conduction in the network, even in the unstable regime. We also study general bath couplings, e.g., connecting two fields to two separate baths at each boundary, which shows an exciting signature of approaching the unstable regime for massive fields. We derive analytical expressions for high-temperature classical heat current through the network for different bath couplings at the edges and compare them. Furthermore, we determine the temperature dependence of low-temperature quantum heat current in different cases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142411073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
