We show that the presence of a driven bond in an otherwise diffusive lattice gas with simple exclusion interaction results in long-range density-density correlation in its stationary state. In dimensions $d>1$ we show that in the…
Quantifying the interaction between a system of interest and its ambient conditions, the memory effect links the states of two distinct Hamiltonians: one for the target system and one for the environment. In this paper, we propose the…
We study properties of dilute polymer solutions which are known to depend strongly on polymer elongation. The probability density function (PDF) of polymer end-to-end extensions $R$ in turbulent flows is examined. We demonstrate that if the…

We have developed a theory of polymer entanglement using an extended Cahn-Hilliard functional, with two extra terms. One is a nonlocal attractive term, operating over mesoscales, which is interpreted as giving rise to entanglement, and the…

The dynamics of a heteropolymer chain in solution is studied in the limit of long chain length. Using functional integral representation we derive an effective equation of motion, in which the heterogeneity of the chain manifests itself as…
In this paper we revisit the problem of a (non self-avoiding) polymer chain in a random medium which was previously investigated by Edwards and Muthukumar (EM). As noticed by Cates and Ball (CB) there is a discrepancy between the…
We consider the long time behavior of solutions to a nonlocal reaction diffusion equation that arises in the study of directed polymers. The model is characterized by convolution with a kernel $R$ and an $L^2$ inner product. In one spatial…
