We consider the problem of building a continuous stochastic model, i.e. a Langevin or Fokker-Planck equation, through a well-controlled coarse-graining procedure. Such a method usually involves the elimination of the fast degrees of freedom…
We apply the stochastic thermodynamics formalism to describe the dynamics of systems of complex Langevin and Fokker-Planck equations. We provide in particular a simple and general recipe to calculate thermodynamical currents, dissipated and…

In this paper we develop a generalized formalism for equilibrium thermodynamic systems when an information is shared between the system and the reservoir. The information results in a correction to the entropy of the system. This extension…

Estimating free-energy differences using nonequilibrium work relations, such as the Jarzynski equality, is hindered by poor convergence when work fluctuations are large. For systems governed by overdamped Langevin dynamics, we propose the…

This paper contains a detailed study of the properties of a simple model attempting to explain dark energy as originated from quantum fluctuations of a light spectator scalar field in inflation. In [1] we recently outlined how Starobinsky's…
The objective of the paper is to characterize the Gaussian free field as a stationary solution of the heat equation with additive space-time white noise. In the case of whole space, the investigation leads to other types of Gaussian fields,…
We study the stochastic quantization of the system with first class constraints in phase space. Though the Langevin equations of the canonical variables are defined without ordinary gauge fixing procedure, gauge fixing conditions are…
