Logarithmic or Sinai type subdiffusion is usually associated with random force disorder and non-stationary potential fluctuations whose root mean squared amplitude grows with distance. We show here that extremely persistent, macroscopic…

We consider a diffusion on a bounded domain, assuming that the system is irreducible inside the domain and that the diffusion has varying degree of degeneracy on the domain's boundary. The long-term statistical properties of typical…

We study the limit fluctuations of the rescaled occupation time process of a branching particle system in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where the particles are subject to symmetric $\alpha$-stable migration ($0<\alpha\leq2$), critical binary branching,…

We consider the dynamics of the disordered trap model, which is known to be completely out-of-equilibrium and to present strong localization effects in its aging phase. We are interested into the influence of an external force, when it is…

We study the stochastic diffusive limit of a kinetic radiative transfer equation, which is non-linear, involving a small parameter and perturbed by a smooth random term. Under an appropriate scaling for the small parameter, using a…

We consider a one-dimensional diffusion process with coefficients that are periodic outside of a finite 'interface region'. The question investigated in this article is the limiting long time / large scale behaviour of such a process under…

The Macroscopic Fluctuating Theory is presented from a practical and self consistent point of view. We take as starting point the assumption that a system at a mesoscopic scale is described by a field $\phi(x,t)$ that evolves by a Langevin…

There is increased interest in time-dependent (non-autonomous) Hamiltonians, stemming in part from the active field of Floquet quantum materials. Despite this, dispersive time-decay bounds, which reflect energy transport in such systems,…

Motivated by the anomalous diffusion observed in clusters of active Brownian particles (ABPs), where the center-of-mass diffusion coefficient scales as $D\sim N^{-1/2}$ with respect to the number $N$ of particles in the cluster, we derive a…
