Collective non-equilibrium dynamics at surfaces and the spatio-temporal edge
Collective non-equilibrium dynamics at surfaces and the spatio-temporal edge
Symmetries represent a fundamental constraint for physical systems and relevant new phenomena often emerge as a consequence of their breaking. An important example is provided by space- and time-translational invariance in statistical systems, which hold at a coarse-grained scale in equilibrium and are broken by spatial and temporal boundaries, the …
