We present results concerning the qualitative and quantitative
description of interacting systems with particular emphasis on those
possessing a phase transition under the change of relevant system
parameters.
For this, we first discuss and identify different kinds of phase
transitions (continuous and discontinuous) for mean-field limits of
interacting particle systems on continuous and discrete state spaces.
Since phase transitions are intimately related to the metastability of
the stochastic particle system, we also present a method to provide
sharp characterizations of the spectrum for metastable systems on
locally finite graphs
We also briefly discuss the very related phenomena of phase-separation
for the so-called exchange-driven growth model, which is the mean-field
of the cluster dynamic in zero-range and related interacting particle
systems. For this model we also prove for a suitbale choice of
interaction kernels dynamic self-similar behavior which prove is based
on a connection to a discrete Bessel-type process.
