Condensation is characterized with a single macroscopic condensate whose mass is proportional to a system size $N$. We demonstrate how important particle interactions are in condensation phenomena. We study a modified version of the…

We give an introduction to phase transitions in the steady states of systems that evolve stochastically with equilibrium and nonequilibrium dynamics, the latter defined as those that do not possess a time-reversal symmetry. We try as much…

We introduce a variant of the asymmetric random average process with continuous state variables where the maximal transport is restricted by a cutoff. For periodic boundary conditions, we show the existence of a phase transition between a…

We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of a many-body bosonic system on a lattice, subject to driving and dissipation. The time-evolution is described by a master equation, which we treat within a generalized Gutzwiller mean field…

We study dynamical behaviors of one-dimensional stochastic lattice gases with repulsive interactions whose span can be arbitrary large. We endow the system with a zero-temperature dynamics, so that the hops to empty sites which would have…

Suspensions of swimming particles exhibit complex collective behaviors driven by hydrodynamic interactions, showing persistent large-scale flows and long-range correlations. While heavily studied, it remains unclear how such structures…
