We investigate the overdamped stochastic dynamics of a particle in an asymptotically flat external potential field, in contact with a thermal bath. For an infinite system size, the particles may escape the force field and diffuse freely at…

Experimental and theoretical studies are made of Brownian particles trapped in a periodic potential, which is very slightly tilted due to gravity. In the presence of fluctuations, these will trigger a measurable average drift along the…

The molecular dynamics lattice gas method maps a molecular dynamics simulation onto a lattice gas using a coarse-graining procedure. This is a novel fundamental approach to derive the lattice Boltzmann method by taking a Boltzmann average…

A driven granular material, e.g. a vibrated box full of sand, is a stationary system which may be very far from equilibrium. The standard equilibrium statistical mechanics is therefore inadequate to describe fluctuations in such a system.…

We consider a system of $N$ disordered mean-field interacting diffusions within spatial constraints: each particle $\theta_i$ is attached to one site $x_i$ of a periodic lattice and the interaction between particles $\theta_i$ and…

A kinetic equation for a dilute gas of hard spheres confined between two parallel plates separated a distance smaller than two particle dimeters is derived. It is a Boltzmann-like equation, which incorporates the effect of the confinement…
