Abstract: We analyze a non-Markovian mean field interacting spin system, related to the Curie--Weiss model. We relax the Markovianity assumption by replacing the memoryless distribution of the waiting times of a classical spin-flip dynamics with a distribution with memory. The resulting stochastic evolution for a single particle is a spin-valued renewal process, an example of two-state semi-Markov process. We associate to the individual dynamics an equivalent Markovian description, which is the subject of our analysis. We study a corresponding interacting particle system, where a mean field interaction is introduced as a time scaling, depending on the overall magnetization of the system, on the waiting times between two successive particle's jumps. Via linearization arguments on the Fokker-Planck mean field limit equation, we give evidence of emerging periodic behavior. Specifically, numerical analysis on the discrete spectrum of the linearized operator, characterized by the zeros of an explicit holomorphic function, suggests the presence of a Hopf bifurcation for a critical value of the temperature, which is in accordance with the one obtained by simulating the N-particle system.
