Based on a recently established formalism (U. Ebert, J. Stat. Phys. 82, 183 (1996)) we analyze the diffusive motion of a long polymer in a quenched random medium. The medium is modeled by a frozen semidilute polymer system. In the framework…

Symmetry-breaking order at low temperatures is often accompanied by slow relaxation dynamics, due to diverging free-energy barriers arising from interfaces between different ordered states. Here, we extend this correspondence to classical…

A stochastic process, when subject to resetting to its initial condition at a constant rate, generically reaches a non-equilibrium steady state. We study analytically how the steady state is approached in time and find an unusual relaxation…

We study a kinetically constrained lattice glass model in which continuous local densities are randomly redistributed on neighbouring sites with a kinetic constraint that inhibits the process at high densities, and a random bias accounting…

To better understand how populations respond to dynamic external pressure, we propose a new diffusion model in the moving half-line {z $\ge$ b(t)}, where the boundary position b(t) is a given nondecreasing function of time. A Robin boundary…

We consider the common spin-1/2 XX-model in one dimension with open boundary conditions and a large but finite number of spins. The system is in thermal equilibrium at times t<0, and is subject to a weak local perturbation (quantum quench)…
