We study the the survival probability P(t) upto time t, of a test particle moving in a fluctuating external field. The particle moves according to some prescribed deterministic or stochastic rules and survives as long as the external field…
We consider particle systems in locally compact Abelian groups with particles moving according to a process with symmetric stationary independent increments and undergoing one and two levels of critical branching. We obtain long time…
Active particles self-propel themselves with a stochastically evolving velocity, generating a persistent motion leading to a non-diffusive behavior of the position distribution. Nevertheless, an effective diffusive behavior emerges at times…
Several experiments on tagged molecules or particles in living systems suggest that they move anomalously slow - their mean squared displacement (MSD) increase slower than linearly with time. Leading models aimed at understanding these…
We investigate the statistics of the local time $\mathcal{T} = \int_0^T \delta(x(t)) dt$ that a run and tumble particle (RTP) $x(t)$ in one dimension spends at the origin, with or without an external drift. By relating the local time to the…
The movement of a flock with a single leader (and a directed path from it to every agent) can be stabilized. Nonetheless for large flocks perturbations in the movement of the leader may grow to a considerable size as they propagate…
We study the long-time tails of the survival probability $P(t)$ of an $A$ particle diffusing in $d$-dimensional media in the presence of a concentration $\rho$ of traps $B$ that move sub-diffusively, such that the mean square displacement…

We study the dynamics of a one-dimensional run and tumble particle subjected to confining potentials of the type $V(x) = \alpha \, |x|^p$, with $p>0$. The noise that drives the particle dynamics is telegraphic and alternates between $\pm 1$…
We investigate the local time $(T_{loc})$ statistics for a run and tumble particle in an one dimensional inhomogeneous medium. The inhomogeneity is introduced by considering the position dependent rate of the form $R(x) = \gamma…
The paper substantiates the conjecture of the asymptotic behavior of the largest distance between consecutive primes: $sup_{p_i \leq x}(p_{i+1}-p_i) \sim 2e^{-\gamma} \log^2(x)$, where $\gamma$ is the Euler constant. The Hardy-Littlewood…
The dynamics of a point particle in a periodic array of spherical scatterers converges, in the limit of small scatterer size, to a random flight process, whose paths are piecewise linear curves generated by a Markov process with memory two.…
We consider a particle moving in a one dimensional potential which has a symmetric deterministic part and a quenched random part. We study analytically the probability distributions of the local time (spent by the particle around its mean…
We investigate statistics of lead changes of the maxima of two discrete-time random walks in one dimension. We show that the average number of lead changes grows as $\pi^{-1}\ln(t)$ in the long-time limit. We present theoretical and…
In this work, we focus on the behavior of a single passive Brownian particle in a suspension of passive particles with short-range repulsive interactions and a larger self-diffusion coefficient. While the forces affecting the…
Consider a particle moving through a random medium, which consists of spherical obstacles, randomly distributed in R^d. The particle is accelerated by a constant external field; when colliding with an obstacle, the particle inelastically…
Many physical and biological processes are modeled by "particles" undergoing L\'evy random walks. A feature of significant interest in these systems is the mean square displacement (MSD) of the particles. Long-time asymptotic approximations…
