* ACTIVATED RANDOM WALK MODEL * This is a conservative particle system on the lattice, with a Markovian continuous-time evolution. Active particles perform random walks without interaction, and they may as well change their state to…
The concept of percolation is combined with a self-consistent treatment of the interaction between the dynamics on a lattice and the external drive. Such a treatment can provide a mechanism by which the system evolves to criticality without…
This thesis deals with some $(1+1)$-dimensional lattice path models from the KPZ universality class: the directed random polymer with inverse-gamma weights (known as log-gamma polymer) and its zero temperature degeneration, i.e. the last…
We develop a notion of entropy, using hyperbolic time, for laminations by hyperbolic Riemann surfaces. When the lamination is compact and transversally smooth, we show that the entropy is finite and the Poincare metric on leaves is…
It has been shown that the last passage time in certain symmetrized models of directed percolation can be written in terms of averages over random matrices from the classical groups $U(l)$, $Sp(2l)$ and $O(l)$. We present a theory of such…
We study probabilistic and combinatorial aspects of natural volume-and-trace weighted plane partitions and their continuous analogues. We prove asymptotic limit laws for the largest parts of these ensembles in terms of new and known hard-…
Last three years have seen new developments in the theory of last passage percolation, which has variety applications to random permutations, random growth and random vicious walks. It turns out that a few class of models have determinant…
We consider last passage percolation (LPP) models with exponentially distributed random variables, which are linked to the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP). The competition interface for LPP was introduced and studied by…
The study of transversal fluctuations of the optimal path is a crucial aspect of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. In this work, we establish the large deviation limit for the midpoint transversal fluctuations in a general…
Barraquand, Corwin, and Yang arXiv:2306.05983 established that geometric last passage percolation (LPP) on a strip of $\mathbb{Z}^2$ has a unique stationary measure. Building on this, Barraquand arXiv:2409.08927 derived explicit contour…
In this paper we present a finite element method for the direct transcription of constrained non-linear optimal control problems. We prove that our method converges of high order under mild assumptions. Our analysis uses a regularized…
We investigate extended processes given by last-passage times in directed models defined using exponential variables with decaying mean. In certain cases we find the universal Airy process, but other cases lead to non-universal and trivial…
Non-Hermiticity has emerged as a new paradigm for controlling coupled-mode systems in ways that cannot be achieved with conventional techniques. One aspect of this control that has received considerable attention recently is the encircling…
We develop a new probabilistic method for deriving deviation estimates in directed planar polymer and percolation models. The key estimates are for exit points of geodesics as they cross transversal down-right boundaries. These bounds are…
For the exactly solvable model of exponential last passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^2$, it is known that given any non-axial direction, all the semi-infinite geodesics starting from points in $\mathbb{Z}^2$ in that direction almost surely…
We establish the existence and compactness of global martingale entropy solutions with finite relative-energy for the stochastically forced system of isentropic Euler equations governed by a general pressure law. To achieve these, a…
We consider the problem of driving a finite-state classical system from some initial distribution $p$ to some final distribution $p'$ with vanishing entropy production (EP), under the constraint that the driving protocols can only use some…
We study bootstrap percolation (BP) on hyperbolic lattices obtained by regular tilings of the hyperbolic plane. Our work is motivated by the connection between the BP transition and the dynamical transition of kinetically constrained…

We provide a framework for a perturbative evaluation of the reduced density matrix. The method is based on a path integral in the analytically continued spacetime. It suggests an alternative to the holographic and `standard' replica trick…
