In this talk I will review several `condensation' transitions that occur when a conserved quantity is driven through the system. Although the condensation is spatial, i.e. a finite fraction of the conserved quantity condenses into a small spatial region, useful comparison can be made with usual Bose-Einstein condensation. Amongst some one-dimensional examples I will discuss the `Bus Route Model' where the condensation corresponds to the clustering together of buses moving along a bus-route.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-01-19T17:13:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nonequilibrium systems", "condensation transitions", "example phase transitions", "small spatial region", "usual bose-einstein condensation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004cond.mat..1341E" } } }
