    Synchronization and Spin-Flop Transitions for a Mean-Field XY Model in Random Field

    No full text
    We characterize the phase space for the infinite volume limit of a ferromagnetic mean-field XY model in a random field pointing in one direction with two symmetric values. We determine the stationary solutions and detect possible phase transitions in the interaction strength for fixed random field intensity. We show that at low temperature magnetic ordering appears perpendicularly to the field. The latter situation corresponds to a spin-flop transition

    Path-space moderate deviations for a class of Curie–Weiss models with dissipation

    No full text
    We modify the spin-flip dynamics of the Curie–Weiss model with dissipation in Dai Pra, Fischer and Regoli (2013) by considering arbitrary transition rates and we analyze the phase-portrait as well as the dynamics of moderate fluctuations for macroscopic observables. We obtain path-space moderate deviation principles via a general analytic approach based on the convergence of non-linear generators and uniqueness of viscosity solutions for associated Hamilton–Jacobi equations. The moderate asymptotics depend crucially on the phase we are considering and, moreover, their behavior may be influenced by the choice of the rates

    We derive moderate deviation principles for the trajectory of the empirical magnetization of the standard Curie–Weiss model via a general analytic approach based on convergence of generators and uniqueness of viscosity solutions for associated Hamilton–Jacobi equations. The moderate asymptotics depend crucially on the phase under consideration.Applied Probabilit

    Path-space moderate deviation principles for the random field curie-weiss model

    No full text
    We analyze the dynamics of moderate fluctuations for macroscopic observables of the random field Curie-Weiss model (i.e., standard Curie-Weiss model embedded in a site-dependent, i.i.d. random environment). We obtain path-space moderate deviation principles via a general analytic approach based on convergence of nonlinear generators and uniqueness of viscosity solutions for associated Hamilton-Jacobi equations. The moderate asymptotics depend crucially on the phase we consider and moreover, the space-time scale range for which fluctuations can be proven is restricted by the addition of the disorder.</p

    Statut et comportement social du Grand dauphin Tursiops truncatus Mont. 1821 dans le bassin d’Arcachon

    A sedentary group of six bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) has been photoidentified in the Bassin d’Arcachon, S.W. France. The social structure of this group has been determined from statistical analysis of swimming associations, as shown on pictures taken monthly from January 1989 to December 1991. The group includes a mother-infant pair, two females escorting the pair, and a pilot-watcher whose sex remains unknown. The sixth dolphin is a young solitary female which sometimes joins the group, while becoming increasingly familiar towards humans when alone. The shyness of the oldest dolphins could be explained by their past experiences with humans (dolphins were still hunted in this area in the sixties !). However their cautious behaviour seems also to be well adapted to their difficult environment, a semi-closed bay, with shallow waters and numerous oyster farms.Ferrey Marc, Collet Anne, Guinet Christophe.

    Path-space moderate deviations for a Curie-Weiss model of self-organized criticality

    No full text
    The dynamical Curie-Weiss model of self-organized criticality (SOC) was introduced in (Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré Probab. Stat. 53 (2017) 658-678) and it is derived from the classical generalized Curie-Weiss by imposing a microscopic Markovian evolution having the distribution of the Curie-Weiss model of SOC (Ann. Probab. 44 (2016) 444-478) as unique invariant measure. In the case of Gaussian single-spin distribution, we analyze the dynamics of moderate fluctuations for the magnetization. We obtain a path-space moderate deviation principle via a general analytic approach based on convergence of non-linear generators and uniqueness of viscosity solutions for associated Hamilton-Jacobi equations. Our result shows that, under a peculiar moderate space-time scaling and without tuning external parameters, the typical behavior of the magnetization is critical
