In many systems we can describe emergent macroscopic behaviors, quantitatively, using models that are much simpler than the underlying microscopic interactions; we understand the success of this simplification through the renormalization…
We establish a large deviation principle for the solutions of a class of stochastic partial differential equations with non-Lipschitz continuous coefficients. As an application, the large deviation principle is derived for super-Brownian…
Simple models have played an important role in the discussion of foundational issues in statistical mechanics. Among them the spin--echo system is of particular interest since it can be realized experimentally. This has led to inferences…
Fluctuation theorems show how coarse graining transforms microscopic symmetry into observable irreversibility. Here we ask whether an analogous symmetrybased diagnostic can be constructed for financial markets. At the microscopic level,…
Simulations of condensed matter systems often focus on the dynamics of a few distinguished components but require integrating the dynamics of the full system. A prime example is a molecular dynamics simulation of a (macro)molecule in…
We explain a method, inspired by control theory model reduction and interpolation theory, that rigorously establishes the types of coarse graining that are appropriate for systems with quadratic, generalized Hamiltonians. For such systems,…
Recent developments in Macroscopic Fluctuation Theory show that many interacting particle systems behave macroscopically as a combination of a gradient flow with Hamiltonian dynamics. This observation leads to the natural question how these…
Using a generalisation of the detailed balance for systems maintained out of equilibrium by contact with 2 reservoirs at unequal temperatures or at unequal densities, we recover the fluctuation theorem for the large deviation funtion of the…
We present the conceptual and technical background required to describe and understand the correlations and fluctuations of the empirical density and current of steady-state diffusion processes on all time scales -- observables central to…
We first define the coarse-graining of probability measures in terms of stochastic kernels. We define when a probability measure is part of another probability measure and say that two probability measures coexist if they are both parts of…
We develop a systematic coarse graining procedure for systems of $N$ qubits. We exploit the underlying geometrical structures of the associated discrete phase space to produce a coarse-grained version with reduced effective size. Our…
Hybrid multiscale modelling has emerged as a useful framework for modelling complex biological phenomena. However, when accounting for stochasticity in the internal dynamics of agents, these models frequently become computationally…
We propose a new approach for analyzing price fluctuations in their strongly correlated regime ranging from minutes to months. This is done by employing a self-similarity assumption for the magnitude of coarse-grained price fluctuation or…
In established theories of grain coarsening, grains disappear either by shrinking or by rotating as a rigid object to coalesce with an adjacent grain. Here we report a third mechanism for grain coarsening, in which a grain splits apart into…
Multiscale molecular modeling is widely applied in scientific research of molecular properties over large time and length scales. Two specific challenges are commonly present in multiscale modeling, provided that information between the…
The theory of large deviations is concerned with the exponential decay of probabilities of large fluctuations in random systems. These probabilities are important in many fields of study, including statistics, finance, and engineering, as…
We investigate how various coarse-graining methods affect the scaling properties of long-range power-law correlated and anti-correlated signals, quantified by the detrended fluctuation analysis. Specifically, for coarse-graining in the…
We study coarse-graining methods for stochastic differential equations. In particular we consider averaging and a type of projection operator method, sometimes referred to as effective dynamic via conditional expectations. The projection…
We propose a data-driven, coarse-graining formulation in the context of equilibrium statistical mechanics. In contrast to existing techniques which are based on a fine-to-coarse map, we adopt the opposite strategy by prescribing a…
While linear response theory, manifested by the fluctuation dissipation theorem, can be applied at any level of coarse graining, nonlinear response theory is fundamentally of microscopic nature. For perturbations of equilibrium systems, we…
