| contents | In this short paper we report that the dynamics of the earthquake (EQ) preparation processes, as embedded in the observed fracture-induced electromagnetic emissions (EME), were characterized by critical and then tricritical behavior a few days before the occurrence of the recent Ioannina (Greece) earthquake [($39.79^o N, 20.69^o E$), 15 October 2016, $M_L=5.3$]. Specifically, an excerpt of the MHz EME recorded by our remote telemetric station near the city of Ioannina five days before the EQ was found to possess critical characteristics, followed by an excerpt possessing tricritical characteristics. The analysis was performed by means of the method of critical fluctuations (MCF). Interestingly, spontaneous symmetry breaking was identified between critical and tricritical behavior. |
