In the averaging process on a graph $G = (V, E)$, a random mass distribution $\eta$ on $V$ is repeatedly updated via transformations of the form $\eta_{v}, \eta_{w} \mapsto (\eta_{v} + \eta_{w})/2$, with updates made according to…
We prove a Central Limit Theorem for the empirical measure in the one-dimensional Totally Asymmetric Zero-Range Process in the hyperbolic scaling $N$, starting from the equilibrium measure $\nu_{\rho}$. We also show that when taking the…
In the recent years the lattice Boltzmann (LB) methodology has been fruitfully extended to include the effects of thermal fluctuations. So far, all studied cases pertain equilibrium fluctuations, i.e. fluctuations with respect to an…
Critical phenomena in non-equilibrium systems have been studied by means of a wide variety of theoretical and experimental approaches. Mode-coupling, renormalization group, complex Lie algebras and diagrammatic techniques are some of the…
We study the weakly asymmetric simple exclusion process on the integer lattice. Under suitable constraints on the strength of the weak asymmetry of the dynamics, we prove moderate deviation principles for the fluctuation fields when the…
We prove a central limit theorem characterizing the small noise fluctuations of stochastic PDEs of fluctuating hydrodynamics type. The results apply to the case of nonlinear and potentially degenerate diffusions and irregular noise…
We present general results for the contact process by a method which applies to all transitive graphs of bounded degree, including graphs of exponential growth. The model's infection rates are varied through a control parameter, for which…
For processes during which a macroscopic system exchanges no heat with its surroundings, the second law of thermodynamics places two lower bounds on the amount of work performed on the system: a weak bound, expressed in terms of a…
The large deviation properties of equilibrium (reversible) lattice gases are mathematically reasonably well understood. Much less is known in non--equilibrium, namely for non reversible systems. In this paper we consider a simple example of…
We study a two dimensional version of Neuhauser's long range sexual reproduction model and prove results that give bounds on the critical values $\lambda_f$ for the process to survive from a finite set and $\lambda_e$ for the existence of a…
We explore driven lattice gases for the existence of an intensive thermodynamic variable which could determine "equilibration" between two nonequilibrium steady-state systems kept in weak contact. In simulations, we find that these systems…
We study whether the stationary state of two bulk-driven systems slowly exchanging particles can be described by the equality of suitably defined nonequilibrium chemical potentials. Our main result is that in a weak contact limit, chemical…
Central limit theorems are established for the sum, over a spatial region, of observations from a linear process on a $d$-dimensional lattice. This region need not be rectangular, but can be irregularly-shaped. Separate results are…
In this paper we present rigorous results on the critical behavior of the Activated Random Walk model. We conjecture that on a general class of graphs, including $\mathbb{Z}^d$, and under general initial conditions, the system at the…
We develop a non-equilibrium field-theoretical approach, based on a systematic diagrammatic expansion, for strongly interacting photons in optically dense atomic media. We consider the case where the characteristic photon-propagation range…
We prove the nonequilibrium fluctuations of one-dimensional, boundary driven, weakly asymmetric exclusion processes through a microscopic Cole-Hopf transformation.
The celebrated Einstein relation between the diffusion coefficient $D$ and the drift velocity $v$ is violated in non-equilibrium circumstances. We analyze how this violation emerges for the simplest example of a Brownian motion on a…
We establish the incompressible limit of weakly asymmetric simple exclusion processes coupled through particle collisions. The incompressible limit depends on various parameters in the particle system and is linked to fluid dynamics…
We investigate the nonequilibrium critical behavior of the contact process with deterministic aperiodic temporal disorder implemented by choosing healing or infection rates according to a family of aperiodic sequences based on the…
This thesis investigates critical phenomena and equilibrium states in various stochastic models through three interconnected studies. In the first chapter, we analyze the Activated Random Walk model on a one-dimensional ring in the…
