We study the ergodic theory of stationary directed nearest-neighbor polymer models on $\mathbb Z^2$, with i.i.d. weights. Such models are equivalent to specifying a stationary distribution on the space of weights and correctors that satisfy…

We extend the Feynman variational method applied to the parabolic-band Fr\"ohlich (continuum) large polaron~\cite{Feynman1955} to a Holstein (lattice) small polaron, with a parabolic-band. This new theory shows a discrete localisation as a…

We have developed a theory of polymer entanglement using an extended Cahn-Hilliard functional, with two extra terms. One is a nonlocal attractive term, operating over mesoscales, which is interpreted as giving rise to entanglement, and the…

We study the directed polymer with fixed endpoints near an absorbing wall, in the continuum and in presence of disorder, equivalent to the KPZ equation on the half space with droplet initial conditions. From a Bethe Ansatz solution of the…

We study the local eigenvalue statistics (LES) associated with one-dimensional lattice models of random polymers. We consider models constructed from two polymers. Each polymer is a finite interval of lattice points with a finite potential.…

The one-dimensional propagation of waves in a bichromatic potential may be modeled by the Aubry-Andr\'e Hamiltonian. The latter presents a delocalization-localization transition, which has been observed in recent experiments using ultracold…

Using Conley theory we show that local attractors remain (past) attractors under small non-autonomous perturbations. In particular, the attractors of the perturbed systems will have positive invariant neighborhoods and converge upper…

We develop an exact determinantal formula for the probability that the Airy$_2$ process is bounded by a function $g$ on a finite interval. As an application, we provide a direct proof that $\sup(\aip(x)-x^2)$ is distributed as a GOE random…

Propulsion of otherwise passive objects is achieved by mechanisms of active driving. We concentrate on cases in which the direction of active drive is subject to spontaneous symmetry breaking. In our case, this direction will be maintained,…
