Efficient inference of rankings from multibody comparisons

Jack Yeung, Daniel Kaiser, and Filippo Radicchi

Phys. Rev. E 112, 014305 (2025) - Published 9 July, 2025

This study deals with the assessment and prediction of the performance of players, teams, or products in competitive contests. While most approaches rely on pair interactions, the authors study the multibody case and provide an alternative implementation of the Plackett-Luce model leading to significant speedups. They demonstrate the performance of their approach on real-world databases from diverse areas of research.

Mean-field theory for the metastable states of a simple substance

Jacobo Troncoso and Claudio A. Cerdeiriña

Phys. Rev. E 112, 014103 (2025) - Published 1 July, 2025

The authors first extend their previous three-state spin model to include not only equilibrium states but also metastable states. They then introduce a four-state model in order to eliminate the supercooled liquid spinodal, which is inconsistent with experiment and simulation. This work on a simple substance paves the way for future work on a water model.

Geometry-induced asymmetric level coupling

Alhun Aydin

Phys. Rev. E 112, 014121 (2025) - Published 21 July, 2025

The author studies size-invariant shape transformations and demonstrates that quantum shape effects exist even in two-level systems. These transformations lead to asymmetric level coupling in two-level and in multilevel systems, such that ground and excited states respond in opposite ways to changes in a shape parameter.

Dynamical cavity method for hypergraphs and its application to quenches in the kXORSAT problem

Aude Maier, Freya Behrens, and Lenka Zdeborová

Phys. Rev. E 112, 014306 (2025) - Published 9 July, 2025

The dynamical cavity method provides a powerful approach to studying the properties of dynamical processes on large random graphs. This work extends the method to hypergraphs, enabling the analysis of interactions involving more than two variables. The authors present an application to the k-XOR-satisfiability problem as an example.

Nonmodal amplitude equations

Yves-Marie Ducimetière and François Gallaire

Phys. Rev. E 112, 015101 (2025) - Published 2 July, 2025

Some fluid flows are difficult to describe mathematically because their response to an external perturbation cannot be reduced to a small number of eigenmodes. The authors propose a method to approach these systems that is based on a few singular modes that are sufficient to reconstruct the response to leading order. The method is shown to greatly reduce the numerical cost compared to existing approaches.

Turbulent dynamo in the shell model and the Kazantsev-Kraichnan approach

I. Abushzada, E. Yushkov, P. Frick, and D. Sokoloff

Phys. Rev. E 112, 015104 (2025) - Published 22 July, 2025

By combining two approaches, the shell magnetohydrodynamic model and the Kazantsev-Kraichnan formulation, the authors advance the theory of the turbulent kinetic dynamo, obtaining results of interest for plasma physics, hydrodynamics, astrophysics, and turbulence theory.

Effective theory for stochastic particle acceleration, with application to magnetized turbulence

Martin Lemoine

Phys. Rev. E 112, 015205 (2025) - Published 10 July, 2025

Building on his previous work, the author develops an analytical theory for particle acceleration due to electric fields in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. The theory, that is also valid in several nonturbulent cases – and captures nonresonant mechanisms such as Fermi and betatron acceleration, magnetic pumping, curvature drift, and transit-time damping – should be of high value in the area of astrophysics, in particular for the study of relativistic particle acceleration.

Ultradelayed material failure via shear banding after straining an amorphous material

Henry A. Lockwood, Emily S. Carrington, and Suzanne M. Fielding

Phys. Rev. E 112, 015404 (2025) - Published 10 July, 2025

Based on simulations of several models of amorphous materials, the authors predict a shear banding instability that occurs at extremely long times after the strain was applied. This instability, in which strain suddenly localizes and the stress drops precipitously, could lead to catastrophic material failure long after any deformation was applied.

Aging of colloidal gels in microgravity

Swagata S. Datta, Waad Paliwal, and Eric R. Weeks

Phys. Rev. E 112, 015412 (2025) - Published 15 July, 2025

This study reports on the temporal evolution of colloidal gels under microgravity conditions using microscopy data from NASA’s ACE-M-1 experiment aboard the International Space Station. The results offer valuable insights into how the strength of the depletion attraction and the particle size govern aging dynamics and structural evolution in colloidal gels.

Bundling architecture in elastic filaments with applied twist

Amit Dawadi, Animesh Biswas, Julien Chopin, and Arshad Kudrolli

Phys. Rev. E 112, 015416 (2025) - Published 18 July, 2025

In this work, the authors investigate the twisting and bundle formation of parallel filaments mounted onto two circular clamps. The geometry of the assembly and the bundle’s mechanical response to the applied twist are analyzed by means of optical and x-ray measurements, and complemented with an elastogeometric model, shedding light on the complexity of filament bundling.

Pulling apart the mechanisms that lead to jammed knitted fabrics

Sarah E. Gonzalez, Michael S. Dimitriyev, A. Patrick Cachine, and Elisabetta A. Matsumoto

Phys. Rev. E 112, 015504 (2025) - Published 24 July, 2025

Knitted fabrics can become jammed, exhibiting anomalous stiffness in response to a low strain, while then softening into a linear response at higher strain. The authors find that this kind of jamming is qualitatively different from jamming in granular materials, and they explore the effects of yarn properties on jamming in knitted fabrics.

Quest for new materials: Network theory and machine learning perspectives

Jacopo Moi, Davide Spallarossa, Stefano Bonetti, Raffaella Burioni, and Guido Caldarelli

Phys. Rev. E 112, 011001 (2025) - Published 2 July, 2025

New materials with specifically tailored properties are discovered at a growing rate, adding new data points in a space that is already vast and complex. In this Perspective, the authors illustrate the potential of leveraging network theory, aided by modern machine learning techniques, to efficiently navigate the space of materials. They discuss why network representations appear to be very well suited for understanding how such a space is shaped by allowing for the detection of hidden mesoscale structure and eventually guiding the discovery of new materials.

Phys. Rev. E 112, 015101 (2025) - Published 2 July, 2025

Some fluid flows are difficult to describe mathematically because their response to an external perturbation cannot be reduced to a small number of eigenmodes. The authors propose a method to approach these systems that is based on a few singular modes that are sufficient to reconstruct the response to leading order. The method is shown to greatly reduce the numerical cost compared to existing approaches.

Building on his previous work, the author develops an analytical theory for particle acceleration due to electric fields in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. The theory, that is also valid in several nonturbulent cases – and captures nonresonant mechanisms such as Fermi and betatron acceleration, magnetic pumping, curvature drift, and transit-time damping – should be of high value in the area of astrophysics, in particular for the study of relativistic particle acceleration.

Based on simulations of several models of amorphous materials, the authors predict a shear banding instability that occurs at extremely long times after the strain was applied. This instability, in which strain suddenly localizes and the stress drops precipitously, could lead to catastrophic material failure long after any deformation was applied.

Knitted fabrics can become jammed, exhibiting anomalous stiffness in response to a low strain, while then softening into a linear response at higher strain. The authors find that this kind of jamming is qualitatively different from jamming in granular materials, and they explore the effects of yarn properties on jamming in knitted fabrics.
