We study various models of independent particles hopping between energy `traps' with a density barriers , on d-dimensional lattice or fully connected lattice. If decays exponentially, true dynamical phase transition high-temperature `liquid' and low-temperature `aging' occurs. More generally, however, one expects that for large class `interrupted' aging effects appear at low enough temperatures, an ergodic time growing faster than exponentially. The relaxation functions exhibit...

We consider the one-dimensional lattice model of interacting fermions with disorder studied previously by Oganesyan and Huse [Phys. Rev. B 75, 155111 (2007)]. To characterize a possible many-body localization transition as function strength $W$, we use an exact renormalization procedure in configuration space that generalizes Aoki real-space for Anderson one-particle models [H. Aoki, J. Phys. C 13, 3369 (1980)]. focus on statistical properties renormalized hopping ${V}_{L}$ between two...

Within the Wilson RG of 'incomplete integration' as a function RG-time $t$, non-linear differential flow for energy $E_t[\phi(.)]$ translates probability distribution $P_t[\phi(.)] \sim e^{- E_t[\phi(.)]} $ into linear Fokker-Planck associated to independent non-identical Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes Fourier modes. The corresponding Langevin stochastic equation real-space field $\phi_t(\vec x)$ can be then interpreted within Carosso perspective genuine infinitesimal...

Markov processes with stochastic resetting towards the origin generically converge non-equilibrium steady-states. Long dynamical trajectories can be thus analyzed via large deviations at Level 2.5 for joint probability of empirical density and flows, or semi-Markov excursions between consecutive resets. The properties general time-additive observables involving position increments trajectory are then in terms appropriate tilted corresponding conditioned obtained generalization Doob's...

Abstract For the 2D matrix Langevin dynamics that correspond to continuous-time limit of products some 2 × random matrices, finite-time Lyapunov exponent can be written as an additive functional associated Riccati process submitted on infinite periodic ring. Its large deviations properties thus analyzed from two points view are equivalent in end by consistency but give different perspectives. In first approach, one starts at level 2.5 for joint probability empirical density and current...

The nonequilibrium dynamics of classical random Ising spin chains with nonconserved magnetization are studied using an asymptotically exact real space renormalization group (RSRG). We focus on field model (RFIM) and without a uniform applied field, as well glass in field. For the RFIM we consider universal regime where temperature both much smaller than exchange coupling. In this regime, Imry-Ma length that sets scale equilibrium correlations is large coarsening domains from initial...

We study some transport properties of a one dimensional disordered system finite length N. In this particles are subject to random forces resulting both from thermal noise and fom quenched force F(x) which models the inhomogeneous medium. The latter is distributed as white with non-zero average bias. Imposing fixed concentration at end points chain yields steady current J(N) depends on environments {F(x)}. problem computing probability distribution P(J) over addressed. Our approach based...

In dimensions $d=1$ $d=2$, we find that low-frequency part $\omega \to 0$ spectrum satisfies following finite-size scaling $L Y_2(\omega,L)=F_{d=1}(L^{1/2} \omega)$ $L^2 Y_2(\omega,L)=F_{d=2}((\ln L)^{1/2} with...

This maximization leads directly generalized Gibbs for trajectories, some fluctuation relation integrated current. The simplest...

Abstract Behind the nice unification provided by notion of level 2.5 in field large deviations for time-averages over a long Markov trajectory, there are nevertheless very important qualitative differences between meaning diffusion processes on one hand, and chains either discrete-time or continuous-time other hand. In order to analyze these detail, it is thus useful consider two types random walks converging towards given process dimension d involving arbitrary space-dependent forces...

For Anderson localization on the Cayley tree, we study statistics of various observables as a function disorder strength W and number N generations. We first consider Landauer transmission TN. In localized phase, its logarithm follows traveling wave form where (i) disorder-averaged value moves linearly length diverges with νloc = 1 (ii) variable t* is fixed random power-law tail P*(t*) ∼ 1/(t*)1+β(W) for large 0 < β(W) ⩽ 1/2, so that all integer moments TN are governed by rare events....
