We study a system of all-to-all weakly coupled uniformly expanding circle maps in the thermodynamic limit. The state of the system is described by a probability measure and its evolution is given by the action of a nonlinear operator, also…
We introduce stochastic models of chemotaxis generalizing the deterministic Keller-Segel model. These models include fluctuations which are important in systems with small particle numbers or close to a critical point. Following Dean's…

Materials undergoing both phase separation and chemical reactions (defined here as all processes that change particle type or number) form an important class of non-equilibrium systems. Examples range from suspensions of self-propelled…

Complex fluids in shear flow and biased dynamics in crowded environments exhibit counterintuitive features which are difficult to address both at theoretical level and by molecular dynamic simulations. To understand some of these features…
The gauge model of nonrelativistic particles on a line interacting with nonstandard gravitational fields [5] is supplemented by the addition of a (non)-Abelian gauge interaction. Solving for the gauge fields we obtain equations, in closed…
We show that coupling together two closed thermodynamic systems that independently attain equilibrium may give rise to a nonequilibrium stationary state (NESS) with a persistent, non-vanishing current. We study a simple example that is…
We rigorously derive a two-dimensional Keller-Segel type system with signal-dependent sensitivity from a stochastic interacting particle model. By employing suitably defined stopping times, we prove that the convergence of the interacting…

The spreading of bacterial populations is central to processes in agriculture, the environment, and medicine. However, existing models of spreading typically focus on cells in unconfined settings--despite the fact that many bacteria inhabit…
In this work we analyze the stability and convergence properties of a loosely-coupled scheme, called the kinematically coupled scheme, for interaction between an incompressible viscous fluid and a thin structure. We consider a benchmark…
