Setting $lambda_0sim N^{mathcal{C}_0}$, then $mathcal{C}_0=1$ corresponds to ODLRO. The intermediate case, $0<mathcal{C}_0<1$, corresponds for translational invariant systems to the power-law decaying of (non-connected) correlation functions and it can be seen as identifying quasi-long-range order. The goal of the present paper is to characterize the ODLRO properties encoded in $mathcal{C}_0$ [and in the corresponding quantities $mathcal{C}_{k neq 0}$ for excited natural orbitals] exhibited by homogeneous interacting bosonic systems at finite temperature for different dimensions. We show that $mathcal{C}_{k neq 0}=0$ in the thermodynamic limit. In $1D$ it is $mathcal{C}_0=0$ for non-vanishing temperature, while in $3D$ $mathcal{C}_0=1$ ($mathcal{C}_0=0$) for temperatures smaller (larger) than the Bose-Einstein critical temperature. We then focus our attention to $D=2$, studying the $XY$ and the Villain models, and the weakly interacting Bose gas. The universal value of $mathcal{C}_0$ near the Berezinskii--Kosterlitz--Thouless temperature $T_{BKT}$ is $7/8$. The dependence of $mathcal{C}_0$ on temperatures between $T=0$ (at which $mathcal{C}_0=1$) and $T_{BKT}$ is studied in the different models. An estimate for the (non-perturbative) parameter $xi$ entering the equation of state of the $2D$ Bose gases, is obtained using low temperature expansions and compared with the Monte Carlo result. We finally discuss a double jump behaviour for $mathcal{C}_0$, and correspondingly of the anomalous dimension $eta$, right below $T_{BKT}$ in the limit of vanishing interactions.","PeriodicalId":8473,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Statistical Mechanics","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80762133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenon is associated to a breakdown in uniqueness of solutions for fixed initial data and underlies many fundamental effects of turbulence (unpredictability, anomalous dissipation, enhanced mixing). Based upon analogy with statistical-mechanical critical points at zero temperature, we elaborate a renormalization group (RG) theory that determines the universal statistics obtained for sufficiently long times after the precise initial data are ``forgotten''. We apply our RG method to solve exactly the ``minimal model'' of spontaneous stochasticity given by a 1D singular ODE. Generalizing prior results for the infinite-Reynolds limit of our model, we obtain the RG fixed points that characterize the spontaneous statistics in the near-singular, weak-noise limit, determine the exact domain of attraction of each fixed point, and derive the universal approach to the fixed points as a singular large-deviations scaling, distinct from that obtained by the standard saddle-point approximation to stochastic path-integrals in the zero-noise limit. We present also numerical simulation results that verify our analytical predictions, propose possible experimental realizations of the ``minimal model'', and discuss more generally current empirical evidence for ubiquitous spontaneous stochasticity in Nature. Our RG method can be applied to more complex, realistic systems and some future applications are briefly outlined.","PeriodicalId":8473,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Statistical Mechanics","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83977125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we show that frustration provides a natural vehicle to generate models exhibiting anomalous thermalization of various types within high energy states. We consider three classes of non-integrable translationally invariant frustrated spin models: (I) systems with local conserved quantities where the number of symmetry sectors grows exponentially with the system size but more slowly than the Hilbert space dimension (II) systems with exact eigenstates that are singlet coverings and (III) flat band systems hosting magnon crystals. We argue that several 1D and 2D models from class (I) exhibit disorder-free localization in high energy states so that information propagation is dynamically inhibited on length scales greater than a few lattice spacings. We further show that models of class (II) and (III) exhibit quantum many-body scars $-$ eigenstates of non-integrable Hamiltonians with finite energy density and anomalously low entanglement entropy. Our results demonstrate that magnetic frustration supplies a means to systematically construct classes of non-integrable models exhibiting anomalous thermalization in mid-spectrum states.","PeriodicalId":8473,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Statistical Mechanics","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81812825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Molecular motors, chemical reaction networks, catalytic enzymes, and particles exchanging heat with different baths, constitute some interesting examples of such a modelization. Moreover, they usually operate out of equilibrium, being characterized by a net production of entropy, which entails a constrained efficiency. Hitherto, in order to investigate multiple processes simultaneously driving a system, all theoretical approaches deal with them independently, at a coarse-grained level, or employing a separation of time-scales. Here, we explicitly take in consideration the interplay among time-scales of different processes, and whether or not their own evolution eventually relaxes toward an equilibrium state in a given sub-space. We propose a general framework for multiple coupling, from which the well-known formulas for the entropy production can be derived, depending on the available information about each single process. Furthermore, when one of the processes does not equilibrate in its sub-space, even if much faster than all the others, it introduces a finite correction to the entropy production. We employ our framework in various simple and pedagogical examples, for which such a corrective term can be related to a typical scaling of physical quantities in play.","PeriodicalId":8473,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Statistical Mechanics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86379253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We provide the missing link between theory and experiment, by establishing a protocol to extract ratios of path probabilities from measured time series without fitting a model. For experiments on a single colloidal particle in a microchannel, we extract both ratios of path probabilities, and the most probable path for a barrier crossing. While we find excellent agreement with independently calculated predictions based on the Onsager-Machlup stochastic action, our experimental results are inconsistent with the Freidlin-Wentzell stochastic action. The direct experimental measurement of relative path probabilities presented here paves the way for experimental investigation of any theoretical result related to individual stochastic trajectories.","PeriodicalId":8473,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Statistical Mechanics","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79490415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This bypasses the requirements of working with complicated manifolds for calculating Renyi entropies for many body systems. We provide an exact analytic formula for Renyi and von-Neumann entanglement entropies of non-interacting open quantum systems, which are initialised in arbitrary Fock states. We use this formalism to look at entanglement entropies of momentum Fock states of one-dimensional Fermions. We show that the entanglement entropy of a Fock state can scale either logarithmically or linearly with subsystem size, depending on whether the number of discontinuities in the momentum distribution is smaller or larger than the subsystem size. This classification of states in terms number of blocks of occupied momenta allows us to analytically estimate the number of critical and non-critical Fock states for a particular subsystem size. We also use this formalism to describe entanglement dynamics of an open quantum system starting with a single domain wall at the center of the system. Using entanglement entropy and mutual information, we understand the dynamics in terms of coherent motion of the domain wall wavefronts, creation and annihilation of domain walls and incoherent exchange of particles with the bath.","PeriodicalId":8473,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Statistical Mechanics","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76943352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The connection to thermodynamics is obtained by the definition of the energy function and the entropy as well as the rate at which entropy is generated. The extension to quantum systems is provided by a quantum evolution equation which is a canonical quantization of the Fokker-Planck-Kramers equation.

It has been demonstrated that extra quantum fluctuating modes besides the conventional order parameter field can drastically change the properties of equilibrium phase transitions. However, the counterpart phenomena in DPTs have rarely been explored. Here, we study the DPT in the Dirac system after a sudden quench, and find that the fermion fluctuations can round a putative first-order DPT into a dynamical critical point, which is referred to as a fermion-induced dynamical critical point (FIDCP). It is also a nonthermal critical point, in which the universal short-time scaling behavior emerges despite the system goes through a first-order transition after thermalization. In the novel scenario of FIDCP, the quantum Yukawa coupling $g_q$ is indispensable for inducing the FIDCP albeit irrelevant in the infrared scale. We call these variables {it indispensable irrelevant scaling variables}. Moreover, a dynamical tricritical point which separates the first-order DPT and the FIDCP is discovered by tuning this indispensable irrelevant scaling variable.
