Abstract

We present exact analytical solutions to the nonlinear relativistic Boltzmann equation for homogeneous, isotropic massless multi-component systems with non-isotropic scattering cross sections. For a two-component system, we identify three distinct classes of exact solutions, each corresponding to specific constraints among initial energy densities, particle number densities, and scattering cross sections. These solutions comprise the equilibrium state and two novel classes: a hybrid structure featuring a non-equilibrium Maxwell-Juttner distribution coupled with a nontrivial distribution; the former is unprecedented in kinetic theory, while the latter refers to nontrivial dynamics shared by both species, which is novel in the relativistic context.

High-resolution mapping of the phase boundary of the honeycomb-lattice Blume--Capel ferromagnet

We present a high-resolution numerical study of the spin-1 Blume-Capel ferromagnet on the honeycomb lattice ($z=3$). Using the Wang-Landau algorithm to estimate the joint density of states $Ω(E_1,E_2)$ and field-mixing scaling, we map the first-order transition line and locate the tricritical point at $(Δ_t,T_t)=[1.4820(2),0.4022(7)]$. Independent Metropolis histogram reweighting for $L=36$ and $48$ yields a crossing temperature near $0.4039$, consistent with the Wang-Landau extrapolation. The field-mixing parameter is $r=-1.585(19)$, while the coexistence-line slope gives $r=-1.587(5)$. Normalizing by the zero-temperature field $Δ_0=zJ/2$, the results for honeycomb, square, and triangular lattices give $r/Δ_0$ between $-1.057$ and $-1.067$, about 6% larger in magnitude than the mean-field value. Simple-cubic estimates are compatible with this range but do not resolve dimensionality dependence. Finite-size scaling yields $y_t=1.795(7)$, consistent with the tricritical Ising value $9/5$, while the fourth-order cumulant scaling agrees with $y_g=4/5$. Deep in the first-order regime, the cumulant approaches the two-phase limit $U_Q\to2/3$. Multicanonical simulations up to $L=64$ yield an interface tension exponent $μ=1.265(26)$, consistent with the tricritical prediction $(d-1)/y_g=5/4$. We also map the continuous phase boundary, obtaining $T_c(Δ=0)=1.157$, and identify crossover effects from Ising to tricritical scaling near the tricritical point.

Long-range correlations in a locally constrained exclusion process

We introduce a novel exclusion process with a simple local kinetic constraint that leads to a remarkable transition between a homogeneous phase with short-range correlations and a clustered phase with long-range correlations and spontaneous breaking of translation invariance. The metastable dynamics of particle clusters lead to a coarsening cascade and glassy dynamics, as well as an intriguing faster-is-slower effect where an increasing asymmetry in the flow direction leads to a decrease of the stationary current.

Hydrodynamics and boundary-induced phase transitions in the $n$-species particle-exchange process

The $n$-species particle-exchange process (PEP($n$)) is an exclusion process in which particles of $n$ different species exchange positions on neighbouring sites with rates chosen such that the invariant measure on the discrete torus is a product measure. We address the large-scale hydrodynamic behaviour of this process which yields a system of $n$ coupled inviscid Burgers equations. This system of conservation laws is shown to admit Riemann invariants for arbitrary $n$ from which explicit solutions of the Riemann problem in terms of shock waves and rarefaction fans are obtained. We also introduce the open PEP($n$), in which particles are exchanged with boundary reservoirs. For a distinguished manifold of boundary rates, we prove that the invariant measure is the same product measure as in the periodic system. The hydrodynamic description in terms of Riemann invariants is used to derive the stationary phase diagram explicitly in terms of microscopic boundary rates. In the generic case, the steady state exhibits $2n+1$ phases, with boundary-induced phase transitions analogous to those of the single-species asymmetric simple exclusion process.
