Statistical Mechanics of Phase Transitions J. M. Yeomans
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA

Actually it is neither really about statistics nor about mechanics but rather about the theory of phase transitions. Although system size and disorder are linked in a statistical physics description of fracture, the two parameters have typically been treated separately. Now, in Physical Review Letters, Ashivni Shekhawat at Cornell In this case, it has been shown that fracture of a disordered three-dimensional solid can be viewed as a dynamic phase transition: the crack front “depins” itself from the disorder [3]. 2School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2RD, United Kingdom.

We investigate Lee-Yang zeros of generating functions of dynamical observables and establish a general relation between phase transitions in ensembles of trajectories of stochastic many-body systems and the time evolution of high-order cumulants of such observables.
