The organization of disordered sounds into the ordered structures of music can be understood through an analogy to the emergent ordering of physical systems undergoing phase transitions. This work builds off a prior mean-field model for pitch in music [J. Berezovsky, Sci. Adv. 5, eaav8490 (2019)2375-254810.1126/sciadv.aav8490] by using renormalization-group techniques to study the effects of dimensionality and local correlations. We corroborate the results of the mean-field model by showing convergence of the phase diagram as lattice dimension is increased, while also uncovering new phases which the mean-field model does not reveal. We also compute the nearest-neighbor correlations and provide comparisons to the mean-field model, as well as historical tuning systems used by different groups of musicians. The new phases and resulting correlations revealed in this work suggest a number of possible avenues for further exploration, including generating new music using the pitch distributions suggested by the model.

Different whole-brain computational models have been recently developed to investigate hypotheses related to brain mechanisms. Among these, the Dynamic Mean Field (DMF) model is particularly attractive, combining a biophysically realistic model that is scaled up via a mean-field approach and multimodal imaging data. However, an important barrier to the widespread usage of the DMF model is that current implementations are computationally expensive, supporting only simulations on brain parcellations that consider less than 100 brain regions.

We adapt non-linear optimal control theory (OCT) to control oscillations and network synchrony and apply it to models of neural population dynamics. OCT is a mathematical framework to compute an efficient stimulation for dynamical systems. In its standard formulation, it requires a well-defined reference trajectory as target state.

Lattice-based mean-field models of ionic liquids neglect charge discreteness and ion correlations. To address these limitations, we propose separating the short-range and long-range parts of the electrostatic interaction by truncating the Coulomb potential below a fixed distance that is equal to or slightly larger than that between neighboring ions. Interactions and correlations between adjacent ions can then be modeled explicitly, whereas longer-ranged electrostatic interactions are captured on the mean-field level.

The Jordan-Wigner transformation permits one to convert spin 1/2 operators into spinless fermion ones, or vice versa. In some cases, it transforms an interacting spin Hamiltonian into a noninteracting fermionic one, which is exactly solved at the mean-field level. Even when the resulting fermionic Hamiltonian is interacting, its mean-field solution can provide surprisingly accurate energies and correlation functions.

We investigate the dynamical phases and phase transitions arising in a classical two-dimensional anisotropic XY model under the influence of a periodically driven temporal external magnetic field in the form of a symmetric square wave. We use a combination of finite temperature classical Monte Carlo simulation, implemented within a CPU+GPU paradigm, utilizing local dynamics provided by the Glauber algorithm and a phenomenological equation-of-motion approach based on relaxational dynamics governed by the time-dependent free energy within a mean-field approximation to study the model. We investigate several parameter regimes of the variables (magnetic field, anisotropy, and the external drive frequency) that influence the anisotropic XY system.
