Ergodic kinetics, which are critical to equilibrium thermodynamics, can be constrained by a system's topology. We study a model nanomagnetic array in which such constraints visibly affect the behavior. In this system, magnetic excitations…

Ergodic optimization is the study of problems relating to maximizing orbits, maximizing invariant measures and maximum ergodic averages. An orbit of a dynamical system is called f-maximizing if the time average of the real-valued function f…

Shuichi Nos\'e opened up a new world of atomistic simulation in 1984. He formulated a Hamiltonian tailored to generate Gibbs' canonical distribution dynamically. This clever idea bridged the gap between microcanonical molecular dynamics and…

We study the dynamic phase diagram of a spin model associated with the Number Partitioning Problem, as a function of temperature and of the fraction $K/N$ of spins allowed to flip simultaneously. The case K=1 reproduces the activated…
We show existence and uniqueness of invariant measures for SDE of the form \[ dX_t = g(X_t)dt + u(X_t)dt + dW^H_t \] where $W^H$ is a fractional Brownian motion (fBm) with Hurst parameter $H\in (0,\frac{1}{2})$, $u$ is a linearly dispersive…

We give a geometric approach to proving know regularity and existence theorems for the 2D Navier-Stokes Equations. We feel this point of view is instructive in better understanding the dynamics. The technique is inspired by constructions in…
In these notes we will present (a part of) the parabolic tent spaces theory and then apply it in solving some PDE's originated from the fluid mechanics. In more details, to our most interest are the incompressible homogeneous Navier-Stokes…
We present a new theorem describing stable solutions for a driven quantum system. The theorem, coined `inertial theorem', is applicable for fast driving, provided the acceleration rate is small. The theorem states that in the inertial limit…
