We study a two-dimensional low-dissipation dynamical system with a control parameter that is swept linearly in time across a transcritical bifurcation. We investigate the relaxation time of a perturbation applied to a variable of the system and we show that critical slowing down may occur at a parameter value well above the bifurcation point. We test experimentally the occurrence of critical slowing down by applying a perturbation to the accessible control parameter and we find that this perturbation leaves the system behavior unaltered, thus providing no useful information on the occurrence of critical slowing down. The theoretical analysis reveals the reasons why these tests fail in predicting an incoming bifurcation.

We consider stochastic electro-mechanical dynamics of an overdamped power system in the vicinity of the saddle-node bifurcation associated with the loss of global stability such as voltage collapse or phase angle instability. Fluctuations of the syst em state vector are driven by random variations of loads and intermittent renewable generation. In the vicinity of collapse the power system experiences so-called phenomenon of critical slowing-down characterized by slowing and simultaneous amplification of the system state vector fluctuations. In generic case of a co-dimension 1 bifurcation corresponding to the threshold of instability it is possible to extract a single mode of the system state vector responsible for this phenomenon. We characterize stochastic fluctuations of the system state vector using the formal perturbative expansion over the lowest (real) eigenvalue of the system power flow Jacobian and verify the resulting expressions for correlation functions of the state vector by direct numerical simulations. We conclude that the onset of critical slowing-down is a good marker of approach to the threshold of global instability. It can be straightforwardly detected from the analysis of single-node autostructure and autocorrelation functions of system state variables and thus does not require full observability of the grid.
We report a comprehensive study of the complex AC conductance of amorphous superconducting InO$_x$ thin films. Using a novel broadband microwave `Corbino spectrometer we measure the explicit frequency dependency of the complex conductance and the pha se stiffness over a range from 0.21 GHz to 15 GHz at temperatures down to 350 mK. Dynamic AC measurements are sensitive to the temporal correlations of the superconducting order parameter in the fluctuation range above $T_c$. Among other aspects, we explicitly demonstrate the critical slowing down of the characteristic fluctuation rate on the approach to the superconducting state and show that its behavior is consistent with vortex-like phase fluctuations and a phase ordering scenario of the transition.
We review our recent work on ellipsoidal M2-brane solutions in the large-N limit of the BMN matrix model. These bosonic finite-energy membranes live inside SO(3)xSO(6) symmetric plane-wave spacetimes and correspond to local extrema of the energy func tional. They are static in SO(3) and stationary in SO(6). Chaos appears at the level of radial stability analysis through the explicitly derived spectrum of eigenvalues. The angular perturbation analysis is suggestive of the presence of weak turbulence instabilities that propagate from low to high orders in perturbation theory.
We investigate the critical slowing down of the topological modes using local updating algorithms in lattice 2-d CP^(N-1) models. We show that the topological modes experience a critical slowing down that is much more severe than the one of the quasi -Gaussian modes relevant to the magnetic susceptibility, which is characterized by $tau_{rm mag} sim xi^z$ with $zapprox 2$. We argue that this may be a general feature of Monte Carlo simulations of lattice theories with non-trivial topological properties, such as QCD, as also suggested by recent Monte Carlo simulations of 4-d SU(N) lattice gauge theories.
We investigate the response of a photonic gas interacting with a reservoir of pumped dye-molecules to quenches in the pump power. In addition to the expected dramatic critical slowing down of the equilibration time around phase transitions we find ex tremely slow equilibration even far away from phase transitions. This non-critical slowing down can be accounted for quantitatively by fierce competition among cavity modes for access to the molecular environment, and we provide a quantitative explanation for this non-critical slowing down.
