Abstract

Systems of long‐range interacting particles present typically “quasi‐stationary” states (QSS). Investigating their lifetime for a generic pair interaction V(r→∞)∼1/rγ we give a classification of the range of the interactions according to the dynamical properties of the system.

Attractor nonequilibrium stationary states in perturbed long-range interacting systems

Michael Joyce, Jules Morand, Pascal Viot

Isolated long-range interacting particle systems appear generically to relax to nonequilibrium states ("quasistationary states" or QSSs) which are stationary in the thermodynamic limit. A fundamental open question concerns the "robustness" of these states when the system is not isolated. In this paper we explore, using both analytical and numerical approaches to a paradigmatic one-dimensional model, the effect of a simple class of perturbations. We call them "internal local perturbations" in that the particle energies are perturbed at collisions in a way which depends only on the local properties. Our central finding is that the effect of the perturbations is to drive all the very different QSSs we consider towards a unique QSS. The latter is thus independent of the initial conditions of the system, but determined instead by both the long-range forces and the details of the perturbations applied. Thus in the presence of such a perturbation the long-range system evolves to a unique nonequilibrium stationary state, completely different from its state in absence of the perturbation, and it remains in this state when the perturbation is removed. We argue that this result may be generic for long-range interacting systems subject to perturbations which are dependent on the local properties (e.g., spatial density or velocity distribution) of the system itself.

Quasi-stationary-state temperature for interacting Heisenberg rotators: a finite-size scaling analysis

Antonio Rodríguez, Fernando Dantas Nobre, Constantino Tsallis

Abstract We study, by means of first-principle molecular-dynamics, the temperature T QSS of the quasi-stationary state (QSS) of a d -dimensional classical inertial α -Heisenberg ferromagnetic model, consisting of a set of rotators with interactions decaying with distance as r − α ( α ⩾ 0 ) . We find, through detailed finite-size calculations, the scaling relation T QSS − T ∞ ∝ N − β , where T ∞ ≡ U − 1 / 2 , with energy per particle U < U c ( U c = 5 / 6 ), and total number of particles N , which holds for the very long-range interactions regime 0 ⩽ α / d ⩽ 1 , in which the QSS exists. We show that the scaling exponent β does not depend on U but only in the quotient α / d , being β ( α / d ) ≃ 1 for 0 ⩽ α / d ⩽ 0.5 , and decaying linearly for α / d > 0.5 , so <
