We describe the convergence of these smooth Legendrian submanifolds, as the number of spins goes to infinity, to a singular Legendrian submanifold, admitting an analytic continuation that contains both the stable and metastable states. We also discuss the relaxation to a Gibbs equilibrium when the physical parameters are changed abruptly. The relaxation is defined via the gradient flow of the free energy with respect to the Wasserstein metric on microscopic states, that is, in the geometric language, via the gradient flow of the generating function of the equilibrium Legendrian with respect to the ghost variables. This leads to a discrete Fokker-Planck equation when the number of spins is finite. We show that in the thermodynamic limit this description is closely related to the seminal model of relaxation proposed by Glauber. Finally, we find a special range of parameters where such relaxation happens instantaneously, along the Reeb chords connecting the initial and the terminal Legendrian submanifolds.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Physics","volume":"191 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142694831","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 orientation and the rate at which an actor expresses an opinion is influenced by the social pressure exerted on this actor. The social pressure of an actor is reset to 0 when the actor expresses an opinion, and simultaneously the social pressures on all the other actors change by h/N in the direction of the opinion that was just expressed. We prove propagation of chaos of the system, as N diverges to infinity, to a limit nonlinear jumping stochastic differential equation. Moreover, we prove that under certain conditions the limit system exhibits a phase transition described as follows. If h is smaller or equal than a certain threshold, the limit system has only the null Dirac measure as an invariant probability measure, corresponding to a vanishing social pressure on all actors. However, if h is greater than the threshold, the system has two additional non-trivial invariant probability measures. One of these measures has support on the positive real numbers and the other is obtained by symmetrization with respect to 0, having thus support on the negative real numbers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Physics","volume":"191 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142694799","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}

We find the dynamical transition from the freezing phase to the chaotic scrambling phase, which is assisted by increasing the real part of the kicking potential along with a zero value of its imaginary part. The opposite transition occurs with the increase in the imaginary part of the kicking potential, demonstrating the suppression of quantum scrambling by non-Hermiticity.
