Description
The interplay between the statistical properties of
non-equilibrium systems systems with long-range
interactions in equilibrium will be discussed. Driven
systems tend to exhibit long-range correlations, resulting
from the non detailed balance nature of their dynamics.
Such correlations can sometimes be expressed by effective
long-range interactions, even in cases where the dynamics is
local. On the other hand studies of equilibrium systems with
long-range interactions have demonstrated that they exhibit
some unusual properties, such as inequivalence of
statistical ensembles, negative specific heat and slow
relaxation processes, with diverging characteristic time
with the system size. Such features in driven systems with
local dynamics will be demonstrated and some similarities
between these two classes of systems will be discussed.
