Yang-Lee zeros for a nonequilibrium phase transition
Equilibrium systems which exhibit a phase transition can be studied by investigating the complex zeros of the partition function. This method, pioneered by Yang and Lee, has been widely used in equilibrium statistical physics. We show that an analogous treatment is possible for a nonequilibrium phase transition into an absorbing state. By investigating the complex zeros of the survival probabil...
متن کاملThe Lee-Yang Theory of Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Phase Transitions
In this work we seek a mathematical understanding of phase transitions in the steady state of stochastic many-body systems. Systems at equilibrium with their environment provide examples of such steady states, and the mechanisms underlying equilibrium phase transitions are long known and understood. Experimentally, one can distinguish between two types of transition: the first-order transition ...
متن کاملThe Lee-yang Theory of Phase Transitions
Magnetic materials in nature exhibit a sharp phase transition: there exists a temperature (the Curie temperature) just above which the spontaneous magnetism of a magnetic material is lost. The modeling of such discontinuities presented a major conundrum for statistical physics in the early part of the 20th century. One of the rst models of magnets proposed to qualitatively model this phenomenon...
متن کاملPhase Transition in Yang - Mills Theory For
We infer the existence of a phase transition in pure non-Abelian gauge theories at zero temperature for 0 near IT. Our analysis assumes that instantons are responsible for the onset of the deviation from perturbative behavior in the theory. We show that this leads to a ._ weak coupling zero of the E-function for 8 near IT, implying the loss of confinement. Submitted to Physical Review D (Commen...
متن کاملStatistical Mechanics of Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Phase Transitions: the Yang–lee Formalism
Showing that the location of the zeros of the partition function can be used to study phase transitions, Yang and Lee initiated an ambitious and very fruitful approach. We give an overview of the results obtained using this approach. After an elementary introduction to the Yang–Lee formalism, we summarize results concerning equilibrium phase transitions. We also describe recent attempts and bre...
