Various lattice gas automata have been proposed in the past decades to simulate physics and address a host of problems on collective dynamics arising in diverse fields. In this work, we employ the lattice gas model defined on the sphere to…
We study gradient field models on an integer lattice with non-convex interactions. These models emerge in distinct branches of physics and mathematics under various names. In particular, as zero-mass lattice (Euclidean) quantum field…
We consider the number of configurations of a surface in two dimensions that has a prescribed length and encloses a prescribed perimeter with respect to a baseline. An approximate analytical treatment in a semi--continuum compares…
We investigate the limit shape of the single-source model for stochastic sandpiles on the integer line subject to $p$--topplings. In this model, an initial configuration of $n\in\mathbb{N}$ particles is placed at the origin and stabilized…
We study a stochastic Laplacian growth model, where a set $\mathbf{U}\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{\mathrm{d}}$ grows according to a reflecting Brownian motion in $\mathbf{U}$ stopped at level sets of its boundary local time. We derive a scaling…

We regularize the Laplacian growth problem with zero surface tension by introducing a short-distance cutoff $\hbar$, so that the change of the area of domains is quantized and equals an integer multiple of the area quanta $\hbar$. The…
We study the vibrational properties near a free surface of disordered spring networks derived from jammed sphere packings. In bulk systems, without surfaces, it is well understood that such systems have a plateau in the density of…
We introduce two discrete models of a collection of colliding particles with stored momentum and study the asymptotic growth of the mean-square displacement of an active particle. We prove that the models are superdiffusive in one dimension…
One of the main difficulties in proving convergence of discrete models of surface growth to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in dimensions higher than one is that the correct way to take a scaling limit, so that the limit is…
We revisit the problem of the stress distribution in a frictional sandpile under gravity, equipped with a new numerical model of granular assemblies with both normal and tangential (frictional) inter-granular forces. Numerical simulations…
We consider the Constrained-degree percolation model in random environment (CDPRE) on the square lattice. In this model, each vertex $v$ has an independent random constraint $\kappa_v$ which takes the value $j\in \{0,1,2,3\}$ with…
We introduce a one-dimensional non-equilibrium lattice gas model representing the processive motion of dynein molecular motors over the microtubule. We study both dynamical and stationary state properties for the model consisting of…
We study the rotor router model and two deterministic sandpile models. For the rotor router model in $\mathbb{Z}^d$, Levine and Peres proved that the limiting shape of the growth cluster is a sphere. For the other two models, only bounds in…
Lieb-Robinson-type bounds are reported for a large class of classical Hamiltonian lattice models. By a suitable rescaling of energy or time, such bounds can be constructed for interactions of arbitrarily long range. The bound quantifies the…
We present studies for an individual based model of three interacting populations whose individuals are mobile in a 2D-lattice. We focus on the pattern formation in the spatial distributions of the populations. Also relevant is the…
We consider a Markov evolution of lozenge tilings of a quarter-plane and study its asymptotics at large times. One of the boundary rays serves as a reflecting wall. We observe frozen and liquid regions, prove convergence of the local…
Domain growth is a key process in many areas of biology, including embryonic development, the growth of tissue, and limb regeneration. As a result, mechanisms for incorporating it into traditional models for cell movement, interaction, and…
A dissipative stochastic sandpile model is constructed on one and two dimensional small-world networks with different shortcut densities $\phi$ where $\phi=0$ and $1$ represent a regular lattice and a random network respectively. In the…
Unstable homoepitaxy on rough substrates is treated within a linear continuum theory. The time dependence of the surface width W(t) is governed by three length scales: The characteristic scale $l_0$ of the substrate roughness, the terrace…
