A phase transition from integrability to nonintegrability in two-dimensional Hamiltonian mappings is described and characterized in terms of scaling arguments. The mappings considered produce a mixed structure in the phase space in the sense that, depending on the combination of the control parameters and initial conditions, KAM islands which are surrounded by chaotic seas that are limited by invariant tori are observed. Some dynamical properties for the largest component of the chaotic sea are obtained and described in terms of the control parameters. The average value and the deviation of the average value for chaotic components of a dynamical variable are described in terms of scaling laws, therefore critical exponents characterizing a scaling function that describes a phase transition are obtained and then classes of universality are characterized. The three models considered are: The Fermi-Ulam accelerator model, a periodically corrugate waveguide, and variant of the standard nontwist map.

Field Approach

The diffusively coupled lattice of odd-symmetric chaotic maps introduced by Miller and Huse undergoes a continuous ordering phase transition, belonging to a universality class close but not identical to that of the two-dimensional Ising model. Here we consider a natural mean-field approach for this model, and find that it does not have a well-defined phase transition. We show how this is due to the coexistence of two attractors in its mean-field description, for the region of interest in the coupling. The behavior of the model in this limit then becomes dependent on initial conditions, as can be seen in direct simulations.

In this paper, we investigate the phase transition of Bardeen black hole for the first time. First, we calculate thermodynamic quantities and correct the misuse of formula in former literature. Second, we investigate in detail the behavior of specific heat. We not only discuss the influence of parameter on phase transition, but also show the three-dimensional behavior of the specific heat. It is shown that phase transition takes place from a locally unstable large black hole to a locally stable small black hole. It is also shown that the location of phase transition point is proportional to the charge. Meanwhile, we study the behavior of the inverse of the isothermal compressibility and find that it diverges at the phase transition point. Thirdly, we build up geometrothermodynamics to examine the phase transition structure. It is shown that Legendre invariant thermodynamic scalar curvature diverges exactly where the specific heat diverges, which leads to the conclusion that the Legendre invariant metrics can correctly produce the behavior of the phase transition structure. Furthermore, to gain a thorough understanding of critical behavior, we calculate the relevant critical exponents and examine the scaling laws. It is shown that they are in agreement with the scaling laws.

Nonequilibrium Phase

Apparent critical phenomena, typically indicated by growing correlation lengths and dynamical slowing down, are ubiquitous in nonequilibrium systems such as supercooled liquids, amorphous solids, active matter, and spin glasses. It is often challenging to determine if such observations are related to a true second-order phase transition as in the equilibrium case or simply a crossover and even more so to measure the associated critical exponents. Here we show that the simulation results of a hard-sphere glass in three dimensions are consistent with the recent theoretical prediction of a Gardner transition, a continuous nonequilibrium phase transition. Using a hybrid molecular simulation–machine learning approach, we obtain scaling laws for both finite-size and aging effects and determine the critical exponents that traditional methods fail to estimate. Our study provides an approach that is useful to understand the nature of glass transitions and can be generalized to analyze other nonequilibrium phase transitions.

We investigate the phase transitions of black holes with conformal anomaly in canonical ensemble. Some interesting and novel phase transition phenomena have been discovered. It is shown that there are striking differences in both Hawking temperature and phase structure between black holes with conformal anomaly and those without it. Moreover, we probe in detail the dependence of phase transitions on the choice of parameters. The results show that black holes with conformal anomaly have much richer phase structure than those without it. There would be two, only one, or no phase transition points depending on the parameters. The corresponding parameter regions are derived both numerically and graphically. Geometrothermodynamics are built up to examine the phase structure we have discovered. It is shown that Legendre invariant thermodynamic scalar curvature diverges exactly where the specific heat diverges. Furthermore, critical behaviors are investigated by calculating the relevant critical exponents. And we prove that these critical exponents satisfy the thermodynamic scaling laws.

This work investigates the two-dimensional flow of a shock wave over a circular light-gas inhomogeneity in a channel with finite width. The pressure gradient from the shock wave interacts with the density gradient at the edge of the inhomogeneity to deposit vorticity around the perimeter, and the structure rolls up into a pair of counter-rotating vortices. The aim of this study is to develop an understanding of the scaling laws for the flow field produced by this interaction at times long after the passage of the shock across the inhomogeneity. Numerical simulations are performed for various initial conditions and the results are used to guide the development of relatively simple algebraic models that characterize the dynamics of the vortex pair, and that allow extrapolation of the numerical results to conditions more nearly of interest in practical situations. The models are not derived directly from the equations of motion but depend on these equations and on intuition guided by the numerical results. Agreement between simulations and models is generally good except for a vortex-spacing model which is less satisfactory.A practical application of this shock-induced vortical flow is rapid and efficient mixing of fuel and oxidizer in a SCRAMJET combustion chamber. One possible injector design uses the interaction of an oblique shock wave with a jet of light fuel to generate vorticity which stirs and mixes the two fluids and lifts the burning jet away from the combustor wall. Marble proposed an analogy between this three-dimensional steady flow and the two-dimensional unsteady problem of the present investigation. Comparison is made between closely corresponding three-dimensional steady and two-dimensional unsteady flows, and a mathematical description of Marble's analogy is proposed.

Epsilon Expansion

Abstract The spherical Berlin-Katz model is considered in the framework of the epsilon expansion in one-dimensional and two-dimensional space. For the two-dimensional and threedimensional cases in this model, an exact solution was previously obtained in the presence of a field, and for the two-dimensional case the critical temperature is zero, that is, a “quantum” phase transition is observed. On the other hand, the epsilon expansion of critical exponents with an arbitrary number of order parameter components is known. This approach is consistent with the scaling paradigm. Some critical exponents are found for the spherical model in one-and twodimensional space in accordance with the generalized scaling paradigm and the ideas of quantum phase transitions. A new formula is proposed for the critical heat capacity exponent, which depends on the dynamic index z, at a critical temperature equal to zero. An expression is proposed for the order of phase transition with a change in temperature (developing the approach of R. Baxter), which also depends on the z index. An interpolation formula is presented for the effective dimension of space, which is valid for both a positive critical temperature and a critical temperature equal to zero. This formula is general. Transitions with a change in the field in a spherical model at absolute zero are also considered.
