# gst: breakdown of stochastic resonance in complex networks

<< ️In networked systems, stochastic resonance (SR) occurs as a collective phenomenon where the entire stochastic network resonates with a weak applied periodic signal. Beyond the interplay among the network coupling, the amplitude of the external periodic signal, and the intensity of stochastic fluctuations, the maintenance of stochastic resonance also crucially depends on the resonance capacity of each oscillator composing the network. This scenario raises the question: Can local defects in the ability of oscillators to resonate break down the stochastic resonance phenomenon in the entire network?  >>

<< ️First, (AA) found that the combinations of network coupling and noise intensity for the maintenance of SR form tongue-like structures, specifying different optimal values of these parameters depending on the number of non-resonant units. Subsequently, (They) verified that, counter-intuitively, increasing the network coupling intensity causes SR to globally fail in the presence of a few non-resonant oscillators. Additionally, the upper limit of the coupling intensity diminishes as the number of nonresonant units increases. Moreover, (They) observed that for the maintenance of SR in (Their) network, the number of non-resonant oscillators is a nonlinear function of their dissimilarity level. >>

# gst: impact of spinning droplets onto superhydrophobic surfaces: asymmetric tumbling rapid rebound.

<< ️The impact dynamics of spinning droplets onto superhydrophobic surfaces was studied by using Volume-of-Fluid simulations, covering broad ranges of Weber number (We) and dimensionless angular velocity (Ω). >>

<< ️Results show that, the spinning motion of droplets leads to two novel rebound scenarios. Specifically, the front-raise tumbling rebound occurs at a lower (Ω) and is caused by the unsymmetrical Laplace pressure, while the rear-raise tumbling rebound emerges at a higher (Ω) and is attributed to the rotational inertia. The angular momentum of the spinning droplet is dissipated or even reversed, while its direction upon detachment is inconsistent with the visually observed spinning motion. >>

<< ️With the increase of the angular velocity, the droplet-wall contact time is largely reduced, which is attributed to the asymmetric spreading by the spinning motion rather than the increased kinetic energy. A theoretical model was also established to predict asymmetric spreading and the contact time and validated against numerical results in wide ranges of (We) and (Ω).  >>

# gst: additional jamming transition in two-dimensional bidisperse granular packings.

AA << ️present a jamming diagram for two-dimensional bidisperse granular systems, capturing two distinct jamming transitions. The first occurs as large particles form a jammed structure, while the second, emerging at a critical small-particle concentration, 𝑋*_S ≈0.21, and size ratio, 𝛿*≈0.25, involves small particles jamming into the voids of the existing large-particle structure upon further compression. >>

<< ️Below this threshold, small particles fill voids within the large-particle network, increasing packing density. Beyond this point, excess small particles disrupt efficient packing, resulting in looser structures. These results, consistent with previous three-dimensional studies, demonstrate that the second transition occurs at a well-defined point in the (𝑋_S,𝛿) plane, independent of dimensionality, likely driven by the geometric saturation of available space around particles, void closure, and structural arrangement. >>

<< ️The second transition reveals that jamming in mixtures of differently sized particles does not occur through a single, unified process. Instead, it can involve multiple, distinct transitions, each associated with a specific particle size and contributing uniquely to the emergence of rigidity through excluded area effects and spatial organization. >>

# gst: the evasion of tipping; pattern formation near a Turing-fold bifurcation

<< ️Model studies indicate that many climate subsystems, especially ecosystems, may be vulnerable to 'tipping': a 'catastrophic process' in which a system, driven by gradually changing external factors, abruptly transitions (or 'collapses') from a preferred state to a less desirable one. In ecosystems, the emergence of spatial patterns has traditionally been interpreted as a possible 'early warning signal' for tipping. More recently, however, pattern formation has been proposed to serve a fundamentally different role: as a mechanism through which an (eco)system may 'evade tipping' by forming stable patterns that persist beyond the tipping point. >>

<< ️Mathematically, tipping is typically associated with a saddle-node bifurcation, while pattern formation is normally driven by a Turing bifurcation. Therefore, (AA) study the co-dimension 2 Turing-fold bifurcation and investigate the question: 'When can patterns initiated by the Turing bifurcation enable a system to evade tipping?' >>

AA << develop (their) approach for a class of phase-field models and subsequently apply it to -component reaction-diffusion systems -- a class of PDEs often used in ecosystem modeling. (AA) demonstrate that a two-component system of modulation equations governs pattern formation near a Turing-fold bifurcation, and that tipping will be evaded when a critical parameter, β, is positive. (They) derive explicit expressions for β, allowing one to determine whether a given system may evade tipping. Moreover, (They) show numerically that this system exhibits rich behavior, ranging from stable, stationary, spatially quasi-periodic patterns to irregular, spatio-temporal, chaos-like dynamics. >>

# gst: allosteric lever: toward a principle of specific allosteric response.

<< ️Allostery, the phenomenon by which the perturbation of a molecule at one site alters its behavior at a remote functional site, enables control over biomolecular function. >>

<< ️However, a general principle of allostery, i.e., a set of quantitative and transferable “ground rules,” remains elusive. It is neither a set of structural motifs nor intrinsic motions. >>

<< ️Focusing on elastic network models, (AA) here show that an allosteric lever—a mode-coupling pattern induced by the perturbation—governs the directional, source-to-target, allosteric communication: A structural perturbation of an allosteric site couples the excitation of localized hard elastic modes with concerted long-range soft-mode relaxation. >>

<< ️Perturbations of nonallosteric sites instead couple hard and soft modes uniformly. The allosteric response is shown to be generally nonlinear and nonreciprocal, and allows for minimal structural distortions to be efficiently transmitted to specific changes at distant sites. Allosteric levers exist in proteins and “pseudoproteins”—networks designed to display an allosteric response. >>

<< ️Interestingly, protein sequences that constitute allosteric transmission channels are shown to be evolutionarily conserved. >>

Focusing on the open anisotropic Dicke model, (They) identify two distinct regimes: transient chaos, marked by rapid early-time growth of entanglement and OTOCs followed by low saturation values, and steady-state chaos, characterized by high long-time values. >>

# gst: chimera states on m-directed hypergraphs.

<< Chimera states are synchronization patterns in which coherent and incoherent regions coexist in systems of identical oscillators. This elusive phenomenon has attracted a lot of interest and has been widely studied, revealing several types of chimeras. Most cases involve reciprocal pairwise couplings, where each oscillator exerts and receives the same interaction, modeled via networks. >>️

<< However, real-world systems often have non-reciprocal, non-pairwise (many-body) interactions. From previous studies, it is known that chimera states are more elusive in the presence of non-reciprocal pairwise interactions, while easier to be found when the latter are reciprocal and higher-order (many-body). >>️

<< In this work, (AA) investigate the emergence of chimera states on non-reciprocal higher-order structures, called m-directed hypergraphs, and (They) show that, not only the higher-order topology allows the emergence of chimera states despite the non-reciprocal coupling, but also that chimera states can emerge because of the directionality. >>️

<< Finally, (AA) compare the latter results with the one resulting from non-reciprocal pairwise interactions: their elusiveness confirms that the observed phenomenon is thus due to the presence of higher-order interactions. The nature of phase chimeras has been further validated through phase reduction theory. >>️

# gst: nonstationary critical phenomena: expanding the critical point.

<< A prototypical model of symmetry-broken active matter -- biased quorum-sensing active particles (bQSAPs) -- is used to extend notions of dynamic critical phenomena to the paradigmatic setting of driven transport, where characteristic behaviours are nonstationary and involve persistent fluxes. >>

<< To do so, (AA) construct an effective field theory with a single order-parameter -- a nonstationary analogue of active Model B -- that reflects the fact that different properties of bQSAPs can only be interpreted in terms of passive thermodynamics in appropriately chosen inertial frames. This codifies the movement of phase boundaries due to nonequilibrium fluxes between coexisting bulk phases in terms of a difference in effective chemical potentials and therefore an 'unequal' tangent construction on a bulk free energy density. >>

<< The result is both an anomalous form of coarsening and, more generally, an exotic phase structure; binodals are permitted to cross spinodal lines so that criticality is no longer constrained to a single point. >>

<< Instead, criticality, with exponents that are seemingly unchanged from symmetric QSAPs, is shown to exist along a line that marks the entry to an otherwise forbidden region of phase space. The interior of this region is not critical in the conventional sense, but retains certain features of criticality, which (AA) term pseudo-critical. >>

<< Whilst an inability to satisfy a Ginzburg criterion implies that fluctuations remain relevant at macroscopic scales, finite-wavenumber fluctuations grow at finite rates and exhibit non-trivial dispersion relations. The interplay between the growth of fluctuations and the speed at which they move relative to the bulk results in distinct regimes of micro- and meso-phase separation. >>

# gst: turbulence spreading and anomalous diffusion on combs.

<< This (AA) paper presents a simple model for such processes as chaos spreading or turbulence spillover into stable regions. In this simple model the essential transport occurs via inelastic resonant interactions of waves on a lattice. The process is shown to result universally in a subdiffusive spreading of the wave field. The dispersion of this spreading process is found to depend exclusively on the type of the interaction process (three- or four-wave), but not on a particular underlying instability. The asymptotic transport equations for field spreading are derived with the aid of a specific geometric construction in the form of a comb. >>

<< The results can be summarized by stating that the asymptotic spreading proceeds as a continuous-time random walk (CTRW) and corresponds to a kinetic description in terms of fractional-derivative equations. The fractional indexes pertaining to these equations are obtained exactly using the comb model. >>

<< A special case of the above theory is a situation in which two waves with oppositely directed wave vectors couple together to form a bound state with zero momentum. This situation is considered separately and associated with the self-organization of wave-like turbulence into banded flows or staircases. >>

<< Overall, (AA) find that turbulence spreading and staircasing could be described based on the same mathematical formalism, using the Hamiltonian of inelastic wave-wave interactions and a mapping procedure into the comb space. Theoretically, the comb approach is regarded as a substitute for a more common description based on quasilinear theory. Some implications of the present theory for the fusion plasma studies are discussed and a comparison with the available observational and numerical evidence is given. >>

# gst: topological phase transition under infinite randomness

<< In clean and weakly disordered systems, topological and trivial phases having a finite bulk energy gap can transit to each other via a quantum critical point. In presence of strong disorder, both the nature of the phases and the associated criticality can fundamentally change. >>

Here AA << investigate topological properties of a strongly disordered fermionic chain where the bond couplings are drawn from normal probability distributions which are defined by characteristic standard deviations. Using numerical strong disorder renormalization group methods along with analytical techniques, (AA) show that the competition between fluctuation scales renders both the trivial and topological phases gapless with Griffiths like rare regions. >>

<< Moreover, the transition between these phases is solely governed by the fluctuation scales, rather than the means, rendering the critical behavior to be determined by an infinite randomness fixed point with an irrational central charge. (AA) work points to a host of novel topological phases and atypical topological phase transitions which can be realized in systems under strong disorder. >>

# gst: random interaction in active matter models; critical changes in Vicsek's scenario.

In this paper, (AA) introduce the perception rate 𝑃 into the Vicsek model as the probability of the interaction connections and model the connections as superposition states. (They) show that with increasing 𝑃, the polar order number undergoes an order transition and then saturation. >>

<< The order transition is a first-order phase transition with band formation, and the effect of 𝑃 is different from density. The change of the order number is linked with the interaction structure. The order transition, order saturation, and phase separation correspond to different critical changes in the local interaction number. >>

<< The global interaction structure is further analyzed as a network. The decrease of 𝑃 is comparable to random edge removal, under which the network experiences modal transitions near the critical points of the order number, and the network exhibits surprising robustness.  (AA) results suggest that random interaction can be a new important factor in active matter models, with potential applications in robotic swarms and social activities. >>

# gst: interactive anisotropic walks in 2D generated from a 3-state opinion dynamics model.

<< A system of interacting walkers is considered in a two-dimensional hypothetical space, where the dynamics of each walker are governed by the opinion states of the agents of a fully connected three-state opinion dynamics model. Such walks, studied in different models of statistical physics, are usually considered in one-dimensional virtual spaces. >>

In this article AA has performed the mapping << in such a way that the walk is directed along the 𝑌 axis while it can move either way along the 𝑋 axis. The walk shows that there are three distinct regions as the noise parameter, responsible for driving a continuous phase transition in the model, is varied. In absence of any noise, the scaling properties and the form of the distribution along either axis do not follow any conventional form. >>

<< For any finite noise below the critical point the bivariate distribution of the displacements is found to be a modified biased Gaussian function while above it, only the marginal distribution along one direction is Gaussian. The marginal probability distributions can be extracted and the scaling forms of different quantities, showing power-law behavior, are obtained. The directed nature of the walk is reflected in the marginal distributions as well as in the exponents. >>

In particular, it can self-drive toward elastic spinodal regimes, where inhomogeneous floppy modes induce elastic degeneracy and enable a controlled interplay between rigidity loss and recovery. Proximity to such marginal states leads to stress localization and the formation of force chains that can be actively assembled and disassembled. >>

# gst: a note on spinning billiards and chaos

AA << investigate the impact of internal degrees of freedom - specifically spin - on the classical dynamics of billiard systems. While traditional studies model billiards as point particles undergoing specular reflection, (AA) extend the paradigm by incorporating finite-size effects and angular momentum, introducing a dimensionless spin parameter that characterizes the moment of inertia. Using numerical simulations across circular, rectangular, stadium, and Sinai geometries, (AA) analyze the resulting trajectories and quantify chaos via the leading Lyapunov exponent. >>

<< Strikingly, (They) find that spin regularizes the dynamics even in geometries that are classically chaotic: for a wide range of α, the Lyapunov exponent vanishes at late times in the stadium and Sinai tables, signaling suppression of chaos. This effect is corroborated by phase space analysis showing non-exponential divergence of nearby trajectories. >>
