This work provides a general spectral analysis of size-structured two-phase population models. Systematic functional analytic results are given. We deal first with the case of finite maximal size. We characterize the irreducibility of the…
A generic semiclassical superconducting nanostructure connected to multiple superconducting terminals hosts a quasi-continuous spectrum of Andreev states. The spectrum is sensitive to the superconducting phases of the terminals. It can be…
We study the stationary distribution of the (spread-out) $d$-dimensional contact process from the point of view of site percolation. In this process, vertices of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ can be healthy (state 0) or infected (state 1). With rate one…
We explore the two-dimensional generalized contact process with two absorbing states by means of large-scale Monte-Carlo simulations. In part of the phase diagram, an infinitesimal creation rate of active sites between inactive domains is…
A systematic theory of the conductance measurements of non-invasive (weak probe) scanning gate microscopy is presented that provides an interpretation of what precisely is being measured. A scattering approach is used to derive explicit…
In this paper we study the spectral gap of the path graph and illustrate an interesting effect which has been described recently in the continuous setting. More explicitly, in the large-volume limit and in the presence of a certain external…
At the limit of an infinite confinement strength $\omega$, the ground state of a system that comprises two fermions or bosons in a harmonic confinement interacting through the Fermi--Huang pseudopotential remains strongly correlated. A…
The symmetric inclusion process (SIP) models particles diffusing on a graph with mutual attraction. We recently showed that, in the log-concave regime (where diffusivity dominates interaction), the spectral gap of the conservative SIP…
Pseudogap formation is an ubiquitous phenomena in strongly-correlated superconductors, for example cuprates, heavy-fermion superconductors, and iron pnictides. As the system is cooled, an energy gap opens in the excitation spectrum before…
For certain complex superconducting systems, the superconducting properties get enhanced under mesoscopic point contacts made of elemental non-superconducting metals. However, understanding of the mechanism through which such contact…
Angle-resolved upper critical field $H_{c2}$ provides an efficient tool to probe the gap symmetry of unconventional superconductors. We revisit the behavior of in-plane $H_{c2}$ in $d$-wave superconductors by considering both the orbital…
We study the contact process with stirring on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. In this process, particles occupy vertices of $\mathbb{Z}^d$; each particle dies with rate 1 and generates a new particle at a randomly chosen neighboring vertex with rate…
In this paper, we study the problem of scattering by several strictly convex obstacles, with smooth boundary and satisfying a non eclipse condition. We show, in dimension 2 only, the existence of a spectral gap for the meromorphic…
In this paper, we introduce a type switching mechanism for the Contact Process on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$. That is, we allow the individual particles/sites to switch between two (or more) types independently of one another, and the…
We study the limiting behavior of an interacting particle system evolving on the lattice $Z^{d}$ for $d\ge 3$. The model is known as the contact process with rapid stirring. The process starts with a single particle at the origin. Each…
State-of-the-art model Hamiltonians, like Fr\"ohlich's, or density functional theory approaches to electron-phonon interaction suffer from a severe overscreening error. This is due to the incorrect treatment of the screening of the ionic…
We study critical spreading dynamics in the two-dimensional contact process (CP) with quenched disorder in the form of random dilution. In the pure model, spreading from a single particle at the critical point $\lambda_c$ is characterized…
Zero-range processes, in which particles hop between sites on a lattice, are closely related to equilibrium networks, in which rewiring of links take place. Both systems exhibit a condensation transition for appropriate choices of the…
This paper is concerned with a natural variant of the contact process modeling the spread of knowledge on the integer lattice. Each site is characterized by its knowledge, measured by a real number ranging from 0 = ignorant to 1 =…
We study the planar matching problem, defined by a symmetric random matrix with independent identically distributed entries, taking values 0 and 1. We show that the existence of a perfect planar matching structure is possible only above a…
