We show that time dependent couplings may lead to nontrivial scaling properties of the surface fluctuations of the asymptotic regime in non-equilibrium kinetic roughening models . Three typical situations are studied. In the case of a crossover between two different rough regimes, the time-dependent coupling may result in anomalous scaling for scales above the crossover length. In a different setting, for a crossover from a rough to either a flat or damping regime, the time dependent crossover length may conspire to produce a rough surface, despite the most relevant term tends to flatten the surface. In addition, our analysis sheds light into an existing debate in the problem of spontaneous imbibition, where time dependent couplings naturally arise in theoretical models and experiments.

We present a modified version of the one-dimensional sine-Gordon that exhibits a thermodynamic, roughening phase transition, in analogy with the 2D usual sine-Gordon model. The model is suited to study the crystalline growth over an impenetrable subs
trate and to describe the wetting transition of a liquid that forms layers. We use the transfer integral technique to write down the pseudo-Schrodinger equation for the model, which allows to obtain some analytical insight, and to compute numerically the free energy from the exact transfer operator. We compare the results with Monte Carlo simulations of the model, finding a perfect agreement between both procedures. We thus establish that the model shows a phase transition between a low temperature flat phase and a high temperature rough one. The fact that the model is one dimensional and that it has a true phase transition makes it an ideal framework for further studies of roughening phase transitions.
As shown by early studies on mean-field models of the glass transition, the geometrical features of the energy landscape provide fundamental information on the dynamical transition at the Mode-Coupling temperature $T_d$. We show that active particles
can serve as a useful tool for gaining insight into the topological crossover in model glass-formers. In such systems the landmark of the minima-to-saddle transition in the potential energy landscape, taking place in the proximity of $T_d$, is the critical slowing down of dynamics. Nevertheless, the critical slowing down is a bottleneck for numerical simulations and the possibility to take advantage of the new smart algorithms capable to thermalize down in the glass phase is attractive. Our proposal is to consider configurations equilibrated below the threshold and study their dynamics in the presence of a small amount of self-propulsion. As exemplified here from the study of the p-spin model, the presence of self-propulsion gives rise to critical off-equilibrium equal-time correlations at the minima-to-saddles crossover, correlations which are not hindered by the sluggish glassy dynamics.
When exposed to a thermal gradient, reaction networks can convert thermal energy into the chemical selection of states that would be unfavourable at equilibrium. The kinetics of reaction paths, and thus how fast they dissipate available energy, might
be dominant in dictating the stationary populations of all chemical states out-of-equilibrium. This phenomenology has been theoretically explored mainly in the infinite diffusion limit. Here, we show that the regime in which the diffusion rate is finite, and also slower than some chemical reactions, might give birth to interesting features, as the maximization of selection, or the switch of the selected state at stationarity. We introduce a framework, rooted in a time-scale separation analysis, which is able to capture leading non-equilibrium features using only equilibrium arguments under well-defined conditions. In particular, it is possible to identify fast-dissipation subnetworks of reactions whose Boltzmann equilibrium dominates the steady-state of the entire system as a whole. Finally, we also show that the dissipated heat (and so the entropy production) can be estimated, under some approximations, through the heat capacity of fast-dissipation subnetworks. This work provides a tool to develop an intuitive equilibrium-based grasp on complex non-isothermal reaction networks, which are important paradigms to understand the emergence of complex structures from basic building blocks.
We study numerically the roughening properties of an interface in a two-dimensional Ising model with either random bonds or random fields, which are representative of universality classes where disorder acts only on the interface or also away from it
, in the bulk. The dynamical structure factor shows a rich crossover pattern from the form of a pure system at large wavevectors $k$, to a different behavior, typical of the kind of disorder, at smaller $k$s. For the random field model a second crossover is observed from the typical behavior of a system where disorder is only effective on the surface, as the random bond model, to the truly large scale behavior, where bulk-disorder is important, that is observed at the smallest wavevectors.
While studying systems driven out of equilibrium, one usually employs a drive that is not directly coupled to the degrees of freedom of the system. In contrast to such a case, we here unveil a hitherto unexplored situation of state-dependent driving,
whereby a direct coupling exists between the two. We demonstrate the ubiquity of such a driving, and establish that it leads to a nontrivial steady-state that is qualitatively opposite to what is observed in other driven systems. Further, we show how state-dependent driving in a many-body system can be effectively captured in terms of a single-particle model. The origin of this description may ultimately be traced to the fact that state-dependent driving results in a force that undergoes repeated resetting in time.
