We construct a N-dimensional Gaussian landscape with multiscale, translation invariant, logarithmic correlations and investigate the statistical mechanics of a single particle in this environment. In the limit of high dimension N>>1 the…
We study the directed polymer (DP) of length $t$ in a random potential in dimension 1+1 in the continuum limit, with one end fixed and one end free. This maps onto the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang growth equation in time $t$, with flat initial…
In one and two dimensions, transport coefficients may diverge in the thermodynamic limit due to long--time correlation of the corresponding currents. The effective asymptotic behaviour is addressed with reference to the problem of heat…
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study supercritical fluids near the gas-liquid critical point under heat flow in two dimensions. We calculate the steady-state temperature and density profiles. The resultant thermal conductivity…
According to conventional wisdom, a system placed in an environment with a different temperature tends to relax to the temperature of the latter, mediated by the flows of heat and/or matter that are set solely by the temperature difference.…
In this paper we develop new methods for studying the convergence problem for the heat flow on negatively curved spaces and prove that any quasiconformal map of the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$, $n\geq 3$, can be extended to the…
Thermal convection in an inclined layer between two parallel walls kept at different fixed temperatures is studied for fixed Prandtl number Pr=1.07. Depending on the angle of inclination and the imposed temperature difference, the flow…
We derive Fourier's law for a completely coherent quasi one--dimensional chaotic quantum system coupled locally to two heat baths at different temperatures. We solve the master equation to first order in the temperature difference. We show…
We extend our 2+1 dimensional discrete growth model (PRE 79, 021125 (2009)) with conserved, local exchange dynamics of octahedra, describing surface diffusion. A roughening process was realized by uphill diffusion and curvature dependence.…
In a previous work [math.AP/0305408] three of us have studied a nonlinear parabolic equation arising in the mesoscopic modelling of concentrated suspensions of particles that are subjected to a given time-dependent shear rate. In the…
We study a model, introduced initially by Gates and Westcott to describe crystal growth evolution, which belongs to the Anisotropic KPZ universality class. It can be thought of as a $(2+1)$-dimensional generalisation of the well known…
Let $\mathbb T_{q+1}$ denote the homogeneous tree of degree $q+1$ with the standard graph distance $d$ and the canonical flow measure $\mu$. The metric measure space $(\mathbb T_{q+1},d,\mu)$ is of exponential growth. Let $\mathcal{L}$…
Zero temperature limit in (1+1) directed polymers with finite range correlated random potential is studied. In terms of the standard replica technique it is demonstrated that in this limit the considered system reveals the one-step replica…
We study convergence of a finite volume scheme for the Navier-Stokes-Fourier system describing the motion of compressible viscous and heat conducting fluids. The numerical flux uses upwinding with an additional numerical diffusion of order…
We construct explicit jointly invariant measures for the periodic KPZ equation (and therefore also the stochastic Burgers' and stochastic heat equations) for general slope parameters and prove their uniqueness via a one force--one solution…
The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation is a stochastic partial differential equation which is derived from various microscopic models, and to establish a robust way to derive the KPZ equation is a fundamental problem both in mathematics and…
Directed polymers on 1+1 dimensional lattices coupled to a heat bath at temperature $T$ are studied numerically for three ensembles of the site disorder. In particular correlations of the disorder as well as fractal patterning are…
We study heat conduction in a billiard channel formed by two sinusoidal walls and the diffusion of particles in the corresponding channel of infinite length; the latter system has an infinite horizon, i.e., a particle can travel an…
We consider a shear flow of a scale invariant homogeneous Gaussian random velocity field which does not depend on coordinates in the direction of the flow. We investigate a heat advection coming from a Gaussian random homogeneous source. We…
There have been recently several works studying the regularized stochastic heat equation (SHE) and Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in dimension $d\geq 3$ as the smoothing parameter is switched off, but most of the results did not hold in…
