A simple model of ballistic aggregation and fragmentation is proposed. The model is characterized by two energy thresholds, Eagg and Efrag, which demarcate different types of impacts: If the kinetic energy of the relative motion of a…
An important and incompletely answered question is whether a closed quantum system of many interacting particles can be localized by disorder. The time evolution of simple (unentangled) initial states is studied numerically for a system of…
We consider two models of deterministic active particles in an external potential. In the limit where the speed of a particle is fixed, both models coincide and can be formulated as a Hamiltonian system, but only if the potential is…
The phase behavior of colloidal particles embedded in a binary fluid is influenced by wetting layers surrounding each particle. The free energy of the fluid film depends on its morphology, i.e., on size, shape and connectivity. Under rather…
Dynamical systems methods are used to investigate a cosmological model with non-minimally coupled scalar field and asymptotically quadratic potential function. We found that for values of the non-minimal coupling constant parameter…
We present a minimal non-Hermitian model where a topologically nontrivial complex energy spectrum is induced by inter-particle interactions. Our model consists of a one-dimensional chain with a dynamical non-Hermitian gauge field with…
We prove the continuity of the shape governing the asymptotic growth of the supercritical contact process in Z^d , with respect to the infection parameter. The proof is valid in any dimension d $\ge$ 1.
In this work we consider an ensemble of random $\mathbb{Z}^d$-shifts of finite type ($\mathbb{Z}^d$-SFTs) and prove several results concerning the behavior of typical systems with respect to emptiness, entropy, and periodic points. These…
A two-parameter family of exchangeable partitions with a simple updating rule is introduced. The partition is identified with a randomized version of a standard symmetric Dirichlet species-sampling model with finitely many types. A…
This work deals with two problems arising in mathematical ecology. The first problem is concerned with diploid branching particle models and its behavior when rapid stirring is added to the interaction. The particle models involve two types…
A symmetrical cubic discrete coupled logistic equation is proposed to model the symbiotic interaction of two isolated species. The coupling depends on the population size of both species and on a positive constant $\lambda$, named the…
Large sets of genotypes give rise to the same phenotype because phenotypic expression is highly redundant. Accordingly, a population can accept mutations without altering its phenotype, as long as thegenotype mutates into another one on the…
We study a model of competition between two types evolving as branching random walks on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. The two types are represented by red and blue balls respectively, with the rule that balls of different colour annihilate upon contact.…
We discuss a 1D many-body model of distinguishable particles with local, momentum dependent two-body interactions. We show that the restriction of this model to fermions corresponds to the non-relativistic limit of the massive Thirring…
In this paper we investigate a family of models for a qubit interacting with a bosonic field. More precisely, we find asymptotic limits of the Hamiltonian as the strength of the interaction tends to infinity. The main result has two…
Consider the following stochastic model for immune response. Each pathogen gives birth to a new pathogen at rate $\lambda$. When a new pathogen is born, it has the same type as its parent with probability $1 - r$. With probability $r$, a…
Up to isomorphism, there exist two non-isomorphic two-element monoids. We show that the identities of the free product of every pair of such monoids admit no finite basis.
We consider the Random-Cluster model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with interactions of infinite range of the form $J_x = \psi(x)\mathsf{e}^{-\rho(x)}$ with $\rho$ a norm on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ and $\psi$ a subexponential correction. We first provide an…
A model for a monolayer of two types of particles spontaneously forming ordered patterns is studied by a mesoscopic theory and by MC simulations. We assume hard-cores of the same size for both components, short-range attraction long-range…
Consider a growing system of random walks on the 3,2-alternating tree, where generations of nodes alternate between having two and three children. Any time a particle lands on a node which has not been visited previously, a new particle is…
