Homogeneous fragmentations describe the evolution of a unit mass that breaks down randomly into pieces as time passes. They can be thought of as continuous time analogs of a certain type of branching random walks, which suggests the use of…

Diffusion in an evolving environment is studied by continuos-time Monte Carlo simulations. Diffusion is modelled by continuos-time random walkers on a lattice, in a dynamic environment provided by bubbles between two one-dimensional…
Cyclic transitions between active and passive states are central to many natural and synthetic systems, ranging from light-driven active particles to animal migrations. Here, we investigate a minimal model of self-propelled Brownian…
We present a new theoretical approach for the study of the phase diagram of interacting quantum particles: bosons, fermions or spins. In the neighborhood of a phase transition, the expected renormalization group structure is recovered both…
We determine transformations between coordinate systems which are mutually in linear accelerated motion. In case of the symmetrical linear mutual acceleration, we immediately get the maximal acceleration limit which was derived by…
We consider two disjoint sets of points. If at least one of the sets can be embedded into an Euclidean space, then we provide sufficient conditions for the two sets to be jointly embedded in one Euclidean space. In this joint Euclidean…
