We present a descriptive review of physical problems dealing with extreme values in several
fields of physics. We consider different physical situations involving random variables that …

Because they consume energy to drive their motion, systems of active colloids are
intrinsically out of equilibrium. In past decades, a variety of intriguing dynamic patterns have …

We use molecular dynamics simulations of the SPC-E model of liquid water to derive
probability distributions for water density fluctuations in probe volumes of different shapes …

We report a similarity of fluctuations in equilibrium critical phenomena and nonequilibrium
systems, which is based on the concept of natural time. The worldwide seismicity as well as …

We investigate some implications of the freezing scenario proposed by Carpentier and Le
Doussal (CLD) for a random energy model (REM) with logarithmically correlated random …

We study the critical features of the order parameter's fluctuations near the threshold of
mixed-order phase transitions in randomly interdependent spatial networks. Remarkably, we …

We show that dry active nematics, eg, collections of shaken elongated granular particles,
exhibit large-scale spatiotemporal chaos made of interacting dense, ordered, bandlike …

We study finite-size scaling of the roughness of signals in systems displaying Gaussian 1/f
power spectra. It is found that one of the extreme value distributions, the Fisher-Tippett …

This monograph contains the advances achieved based on the content of our previous
monograph published in 2011. In other words, the present monograph can be considered …

Following our numerical work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 170602 (2012) PRLTAO 0031-9007
10.1103/PhysRevLett. 109.170602] focused upon the 2+ 1 Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) …
