Fluctuations of the interface between coexisting colloidal fluid phases have been measured with confocal microscopy. Due to a very low surface tension, the thermal motions of the interface are so slow, that a record can be made of the…
We study the limit fluctuations of the rescaled occupation time process of a branching particle system in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where the particles are subject to symmetric $\alpha$-stable migration ($0<\alpha\leq2$), critical binary branching,…
We study statistical properties of stochastic variations in pulse arrival times, timing noise, in radio pulsars using a new analysis method applied in the time domain. The method proceeds in two steps. First, we subtract low-frequency…
Hypothesis: The collective dynamics and self-assembly of colloids floating at a fluid/fluid interface is a balance between deterministic lateral interaction forces, viscous resistance to colloid motion along the surface and thermal…
We present an exact solution for the probability density function $P(\tau=t_{\min}-t_{\max}|T)$ of the time-difference between the minimum and the maximum of a one-dimensional Brownian motion of duration $T$. We then generalise our results…

The phenomenon of resonant activation of a Brownian particle over a fluctuating barrier is revisited. We discuss the important distinctions between barriers that can fluctuate among "up" and "down" configurations, and barriers that are…
We reveal a general explicit relation between the statistics of delay times in one-channel reflection from a mesoscopic sample of any spatial dimension and the statistics of the eigenfunction intensities in its closed counterpart. This…
The Airy distribution function describes the probability distribution of the area under a Brownian excursion over a unit interval. Surprisingly, this function has appeared in a number of seemingly unrelated problems, mostly in computer…

In this paper we review simulation and experimental studies of thermal capillary wave fluctuations as an ideal means for probing the underlying disjoining pressure and surface tensions, and more generally, fine details of the Interfacial…
The measured distribution of the single-channel delay time of localized microwave radiation and its correlation with intensity differ sharply from the behavior of diffusive waves. The delay time is found to increase with intensity, while…
We study a Brownian excursion on the time interval $\left|t\right|\leq T$, conditioned to stay above a moving wall $x_{0}\left(t\right)$ such that $x_0\left(-T\right)=x_0\left(T\right)=0$, and $x_{0}\left(\left|t\right|<T\right)>0$. For a…
We demonstrate the use of an ordinary white-light microscope for the study of the q-dependent dynamics of colloidal dispersions. Time series of digital video images are acquired in bright field with a fast camera and image differences are…
We consider a planar Brownian loop $B$ that is run for a time $T$ and conditioned on the event that its range encloses the unusually high area of $\pi T^2$, with $T$ being large. We study the deviation of the range of the conditioned…
In this communication, we show that the residence time of a Brownian particle, defined as the cumulative time spent in a given region of space, can be optimized as a function of the diffusion coefficient. We discuss the relevance of this…
We present a scheme to accurately calculate the persistence probabilities on sequences of $n$ heights above a level $h$ from the measured $n+2$ points of the height-height correlation function of a fluctuating interface. The calculated…
Our understanding of both structure and dynamics of adsorbed liquids heavily relies on the capillary wave Hamiltonian, but a thorough test of this model is still lacking. Here we study the capillary wave fluctuations of a liquid film with…
Fluctuation-enhanced sensing comprises the analysis of the stochastic component of the sensor signal and the utilization of the microscopic dynamics of the interaction between the agent and the sensor. We study the relationship between the…
