We derive a large deviations principle for the two-dimensional two-component plasma in a box. As a consequence, we obtain a variational representation for the free energy, and also show that the macroscopic empirical measure of either…

Normalizing flows are a class of flexible deep generative models that offer easy likelihood computation. Despite their empirical success, there is little theoretical understanding of their expressiveness. In this work, we study residual…

Large-deviations theory deals with tails of probability distributions and the rare events of random processes, for example spreading packets of particles. Mathematically, it concerns the exponential fall-of of the density of thin-tailed…

Study of the KPZ universality class has seen the emergence of universal objects over the past decade which arise as the scaling limit of the member models. One such object is the directed landscape, and it is known that exactly solvable…

The flow past a fixed finite-length circular cylinder, the axis of which makes a nonzero angle with the incoming stream, is studied through fully-resolved simulations, from creeping-flow conditions to strongly inertial regimes. The…

We consider the Gaussian beta-ensemble when $\beta$ scales with $n$ the number of particles such that $\displaystyle{{n}^{-1}\ll \beta\ll 1}$. Under a certain regime for $\beta$, we show that the largest particle satisfies a large…

Predicting the flow of non-Newtonian fluids in porous structure is still a challenging issue due to the interplay betwen the microscopic disorder and the non-linear rheology. In this letter, we study the case of an yield stress fluid in a…

We consider the branching random walk drifting to $-\infty$ and we investigate large deviations-type estimates for the first passage time. We prove the corresponding law of large numbers and the central limit theorem.

The large deviation properties of equilibrium (reversible) lattice gases are mathematically reasonably well understood. Much less is known in non--equilibrium, namely for non reversible systems. In this paper we consider a simple example of…

We consider the first passage percolation model on $\mathbf{Z}^2$. In this model, we assign independently to each edge $e$ a passage time $t(e)$ with a common distribution $F$. Let $T(u,v)$ be the passage time from $u$ to $v$. In this…

The laminar flow past rectangular prisms is studied in the space of length-to-height ratio ($1 \le L/H \le 5$), width-to-height ratio ($1.2 \le W/H \le 5$) and Reynolds number ($Re \lessapprox 700$). The primary bifurcation is investigated…
