We consider the East model in $\mathbb Z^d$, an example of a kinetically constrained interacting particle system with oriented constraints, together with one of its natural variant. Under any ergodic boundary condition it is known that the…
The East model is a one-dimensional, non-attractive interacting particle system with Glauber dynamics, in which a flip is prohibited at a site $x$ if the right neighbour $x+1$ is occupied. Starting from a configuration entirely occupied on…
This paper will examine the cutoff for a random process on the hypercube, $\{0, 1\}^L$, closely related to the East Process. In this process, every coordinate has two 1/2-Poisson clocks at each coordinate which add the coordinate to the…
The East model is a particular one dimensional interacting particle system in which certain transitions are forbidden according to some constraints depending on the configuration of the system. As such it has received particular attention…
The Fredrickson-Andersen one spin facilitated model belongs to the class of Kinetically Constrained Spin Models. It is a non attractive process with positive spectral gap. In this paper we give a precise result on the relaxation for this…
We study the motion of a tracer particle injected in facilitated models which are used to model supercooled liquids in the vicinity of the glass transition. We consider the East model, FA1f model and a more general class of non-cooperative…
The cutoff phenomenon describes a sharp transition in the convergence of a Markov chain to equilibrium. In recent work, the authors established cutoff and its location for the stochastic Ising model on the $d$-dimensional torus $(Z/nZ)^d$…
The East process, a well known reversible linear chain of spins, represents the prototype of a general class of interacting particle systems with constraints modeling the dynamics of real glasses. In this paper we consider a generalization…
Introduced in 1963, Glauber dynamics is one of the most practiced and extensively studied methods for sampling the Ising model on lattices. It is well known that at high temperatures, the time it takes this chain to mix in $L^1$ on a system…
We consider the zero-range process with arbitrary bounded monotone rates on the complete graph, in the regime where the number of sites diverges while the density of particles per site converges. We determine the asymptotics of the mixing…
In this paper, we study the cut-off phenomenon under the total variation distance of $d$-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes which are driven by L\'evy processes. That is to say, under the total variation distance, there is an abrupt…
The East model has a dynamical phase transition between an active (fluid) and inactive (glass) state. We show that this phase transition generalizes to "softened" systems where constraint violations are allowed with small but finite…
The Glauber-Exclusion process is a superposition of a Glauber dynamics and the Symmetric Simple Exclusion Process (SSEP) on the lattice. The model was shown to admit a reaction-diffusion equation as the hydrodynamic limit. In this article,…
We study mixing times of the symmetric and asymmetric simple exclusion process on the segment where particles are allowed to enter and exit at the endpoints. We consider different regimes depending on the entering and exiting rates as well…
We consider random walk on the group of uni-upper triangular matrices with entries in $\mathbb{F}_2$ which forms an important example of a nilpotent group. Peres and Sly (2013) proved tight bounds on the mixing time of this walk up to…
The cutoff phenomenon is an abrupt transition from out of equilibrium to equilibrium undergone by certain Markov processes in the limit where the size of the state space tends to infinity: instead of decaying gradually over time, their…
The cutoff phenomenon describes a sharp transition in the convergence of a family of ergodic finite Markov chains to equilibrium. Many natural families of chains are believed to exhibit cutoff, and yet establishing this fact is often…
Establishing cutoff, an abrupt transition from "not mixed" to "well mixed", is a classical topic in the theory of mixing times for Markov chains. Interest has grown recently in determining not only the existence of cutoff and the order of…
The location and width of the time window in which a sequence of processes converges to equilibrum are given under conditions of exponential convergence. The location depends on the side: the left-window and right window cutoffs may have…
We study the Dyson-Ornstein-Uhlenbeck diffusion process, an evolving gas of interacting particles. Its invariant law is the beta Hermite ensemble of random matrix theory, a non-product log-concave distribution. We explore the convergence to…
