We study the hydrodynamic behaviour of the symmetric zero-range process on the finite interval $\{1, \ldots, N-1\}$ in contact with slow reservoirs at the boundary. Particles are injected and removed at sites $1$ and $N-1$ at rates that…
We consider the phenomenon of condensation of a globally conserved quantity $H=\sum_{i=1}^N \epsilon_i$ distributed on $N$ sites, occurring when the density $h= H/N$ exceeds a critical density $h_c$. We numerically study the dependence of…

The presence of one or more species at some spatial locations but not others is a central matter in ecology. This phenomenon is related to ecological pattern formation. Nonlocal interactions can be considered as one of the mechanisms…
We study condensation in several particle systems related to the inclusion process. For an asymmetric one-dimensional version with closed boundary conditions and drift to the right, we show that all but a finite number of particles condense…
The Discrete NonLinear Schr\"odinger (DNLS) equation displays a parameter region characterized by the presence of localized excitations (breathers). While their formation is well understood and it is expected that the asymptotic…
In the literature of magnetic phase transitions, in addition to a critical point, existence of another special point has been discussed. This is related to the broadening of interface between two different ordering phases and is referred to…
Using numerical simulations, we study the dynamical evolution of particles interacting via competing long-range repulsion and short-range attraction in two dimensions. The particles are compressed using a time-dependent quasi-one…
While the kinetics of domain growth, even for conserved order-parameter dynamics, is widely studied for short-range inter-particle interactions, systems having long-range interactions are receiving attention only recently. Here we present…
We consider a simple, purely stochastic model characterized by two conserved quantities (mass density $a$ and energy density $h$) which is known to display a condensation transition when $h > 2a^2$: in the localized phase a single site…
Soft condensed matter structures often challenge us with complex many-body phenomena governed by collective modes spanning wide spatial and temporal domains. In order to successfully tackle such problems mesoscopic coarse-grained (CG)…
We examine the stochastic dynamics of entanglement for an uncoupled two-qubit system, undergoing continuous parity measurement. Starting with a fully mixed state, the entanglement is zero for a finite amount of time, when it is suddenly…
We suggest that coarsening dynamics can be described in terms of a generalized random walk, with the dynamics of the growing length $L(t)$ controlled by a drift term, $\mu(L)$, and a diffusive one, ${\cal D}(L)$. We apply this…
Let $r: S\times S\to \bb R_+$ be the jump rates of an irreducible random walk on a finite set $S$, reversible with respect to some probability measure $m$. For $\alpha >1$, let $g: \bb N\to \bb R_+$ be given by $g(0)=0$, $g(1)=1$, $g(k) =…
