In this paper we present a study of the early stages of unstable state evolution of systems with spatial symmetry changes. In contrast to the early time linear theory of unstable evolution described by Cahn, Hilliard, and Cook, we develop a generalized theory that predicts two distinct stages of the early evolution for symmetry breaking phase transitions. In the first stage the dynamics is dominated by symmetry preserving evolution. In the second stage, which shares some characteristics with the Cahn-Hilliard-Cook theory, noise driven fluctuations break the symmetry of the initial phase on a time scale which is large compared to the first stage for systems with long interaction ranges. To test the theory we present the results of numerical simulations of the initial evolution of a long-range antiferromagnetic Ising model quenched into an unstable region. We investigate two types of symmetry breaking transitions in this system: disorder-to-order and order-to-order transitions. For the order-to-order case, the Fourier modes evolve as a linear combination of exponentially growing or decaying terms with different time scales.

We extend the early time ordering theory of Cahn, Hilliard, and Cook (CHC) so that our generalized theory applies to solid-to-solid transitions. Our theory involves spatial symmetry breaking (the initial phase contains a symmetry not present in the
final phase). The predictions of our generalization differ from those of the CHC theory in two important ways: exponential growth does not begin immediately following the quench, and the objects that grow exponentially are not necessarily Fourier modes. Our theory is consistent with simulation results for the long-range antiferromagnetic Ising model.
We provide numerical evidence that the Onsager symmetry remains valid for systems subject to a spatially dependent magnetic field, in spite of the broken time-reversal symmetry. In addition, for the simplest case in which the field strength varies on
ly in one direction, we analytically derive the result. For the generic case, a qualitative explanation is provided.
Understanding thin sheets, ranging from the macro to the nanoscale, can allow control of mechanical properties such as deformability. Out-of-plane buckling due to in-plane compression can be a key feature in designing new materials. While thin-plate
theory can predict critical buckling thresholds for thin frames and nanoribbons at very low temperatures, a unifying framework to describe the effects of thermal fluctuations on buckling at more elevated temperatures presents subtle difficulties. We develop and test a theoretical approach that includes both an in-plane compression and an out-of-plane perturbing field to describe the mechanics of thermalised ribbons above and below the buckling transition. We show that, once the elastic constants are renormalised to take into account the ribbons width (in units of the thermal length scale), we can map the physics onto a mean-field treatment of buckling, provided the length is short compared to a ribbon persistence length. Our theoretical predictions are checked by extensive molecular dynamics simulations of thin thermalised ribbons under axial compression.
Time-reversal symmetry of most conservative forces constrains the properties of linear transport in most physical systems. Here, I study the efficiency of energy transfer in oscillator networks where time-reversal symmetry is broken locally by Lorent
z-force-like couplings. Despite their linearity, such networks can exhibit mono-directional transport and allow to isolate energy transfer in subsystems. New mechanisms and general rules for mono-directional transport are discussed. It is shown that the efficiency at maximum power can exceed $1/2$ and may even approach the upper bound of unity.
Dynamical response functions are standard tools for probing local physics near the equilibrium. They provide information about relaxation properties after the equilibrium state is weakly perturbed. In this paper we focus on systems which break the as
sumption of thermalization by exhibiting persistent temporal oscillations. We provide rigorous bounds on the Fourier components of dynamical response functions in terms of extensive or local dynamical symmetries, i.e. extensive or local operators with periodic time dependence. Additionally, we discuss the effects of spatially inhomogeneous dynamical symmetries. The bounds are explicitly implemented on the example of an interacting Floquet system, specifically in the integrable Trotterization of the Heisenberg XXZ model.
