Description
These three lectures will focus on three manners to fall out of equilibrium, and on the many-body effects that arise from the nonequilibrium nature of the dynamics. We will begin with systems harboring a macroscopic current (leading to long range correlations). Then we shall stop by systems that should be relaxing towards equilibrium, but that fail to do so for reasons that are still under investigation. And the final lecture will concern systems with no macroscopic current that are nevertheless maintained out of equilibrium by a constant input of energy that drives the individual motion of the particles.
