We study phase separation in two dimensions in the scaling limit below criticality. The general form of the magnetization profile as the volume goes to infinity is determined exactly within the field theoretical framework which explicitly…
In this paper we present a new and flexible method to show that, in one dimension, various self-repellent random walks converge to self-repellent Brownian motion in the limit of weak interaction after appropriate space-time scaling. Our…
We develop a fluctuation theory of connectivities for subcritical random cluster models. The theory is based on a comprehensive nonperturbative probabilistic description of long connected clusters in terms of essentially one-dimensional…
We study random walks on the integers driven by a sample of time-dependent nearest-neighbor conductances that are bounded but are permitted to vanish over time intervals of positive Lebesgue-length. Assuming only ergodicity of the…
We prove invariance principles for a mulditimensional random walk conditioned to stay in a cone. Our first result concerns convergence towards the Brownian meander in the cone. Furthermore, we prove functional convergence of $h$-transformed…
We study the entropic repulsion of the low temperature 3D Ising and Potts interface in an $n\times n \times n$ box with blue boundary conditions on its bottom face (the hard floor), and red boundary conditions on its other five faces. For…
We consider two $d \geq 2$ conformal field theories (CFTs) glued together along a codimension one conformal interface. The conformal anomaly of such a system contains both bulk and interface contributions. In a curved-space setup, we…
We study using Monte Carlo simulations the finite-size scaling behavior of the interfacial adsorption of the two-dimensional square-lattice $q$-states Potts model. We consider the pure and random-bond versions of the Potts model for $q =…
We further study the interfaces arising in a situation of inhomogeneity. More precisely, we identify a characteristic length for the gradient percolation model, that enables us to tighten previous estimates established for it. This allows…
We study a $q$-state Potts model on the square grid when $q>4$ at the point $T_c(q)$ of its (discontinous) transition. This model exhibits exactly $q+1$ extremal Gibbs measures: $q$ ordered (monochromatic) and one disordered (free). The…
As a prototypical example for a heterostructure combining a weakly and a strongly interacting quantum many-body system, we study the interface between a semiconductor and a Mott insulator. Via the hierarchy of correlations, we derive and…
Depinning of an interface from a random self--affine substrate with roughness exponent $\zeta_S$ is studied in systems with short--range interactions. In 2$D$ transfer matrix results show that for $\zeta_S<1/2$ depinning falls in the…
We prove local well-posedness for the Muskat problem on the half-plane, which models motion of an interface between two fluids of distinct densities (e.g., oil and water) in a porous medium (e.g., an aquifer) that sits atop an impermeable…
Long linear polymers in a depinned interfaces environment have been studied for a long time, for instance in \cite{Caravenna2009depinning} when the temperature is constant. In this paper, we study an extension of this model by making the…
The turbulent boundary layer scaling parameters for the velocity profile are usually associated with either the inner viscous region or the outer boundary layer region. It has been a long-held view that complete similarity of the velocity…
We study a single particle diffusing on a triangular lattice and interacting with a heat bath, using boundary conformal field theory (CFT) and exact integrability techniques. We derive a correspondence between the phase diagram of this…
We consider the simple random walk on the graph corresponding to a Penrose tiling. We prove that the path distribution of the walk converges weakly to that of a non-degenerate Brownian motion for almost every Penrose tiling with respect to…
The theory of interface localization in near-critical planar systems at phase coexistence is formulated from first principles. We show that mutual delocalization of two interfaces, amounting to interfacial wetting, occurs when the bulk…
Imbibition phenomena have been widely used experimentally and theoretically to study the kinetic roughening of interfaces. We critically discuss the existing experiments and some associated theoretical approaches on the scaling properties…
We consider three models of evolving interfaces intimately related to the weakly asymmetric simple exclusion process with $N$ particles on a finite lattice of $2N$ sites. Our Model 1 defines an evolving bridge on $[0,1]$, our Model 1-w an…
