We derive a formula for the quasi-potential of one-dimensional symmetric exclusion process in weak contact with reservoirs. The interaction with the boundary is so weak that, in the diffusive scale, the density profile evolves as the one of…
The persistent dynamics in systems out of equilibrium, particularly those characterized by annihilation and creation of topological defects, is known to involve complicated spatiotemporal processes and is deemed difficult to control. Here…

We consider the partially asymmetric simple exclusion process (PASEP) when its steady-state probability distribution function can be written in terms of a linear superposition of product measures with a finite number of shocks. In this case…
Active droplets swim as a result of the nonlinear advective coupling of the distribution of chemical species they consume or release with the Marangoni flows created by their non-uniform surface distribution. Most existing models focus on…
We study the asymmetric zero-range process (ZRP) with L sites and open boundaries, conditioned to carry an atypical current. Using a generalized Doob h-transform we compute explicitly the transition rates of an effective process for which…
We present a study of exclusion process on a peculiar topology of network with two intersected lanes, competing for the particles in a reservoir with finite capacity. To provide a theoretical ground for our findings, we exploit mean-field…
Active matter can flow and yield under conditions where passive matter jams and slows down, as self-propulsion significantly modulates particle escape from local cages. How activity microscopically reshapes the caging environment to produce…
Non-equilibrium critical phenomena generally exist in many dynamic systems, like chemical reactions and some driven-dissipative {reactive} particle systems. Here, by using computer simulation and theoretical analysis, we demonstrate the…
Although density functional theory provides reliable predictions for the static properties of simple fluids under confinement, a theory of comparative accuracy for the transport coefficients has yet to emerge. Nonetheless, there is evidence…
We study numerically and analytically the dynamics of a sedimenting suspension of active, reproducing particles, such as growing bacteria in a gravitational field. In steady state we find a non-equilibrium phase transition between a…
Deterministic diffusive systems such as the periodic Lorentz gas, multi-baker map, as well as spatially periodic systems of interacting particles, have non-equilibrium stationary states with fractal properties when put in contact with…
We develop a mode coupling theory(MCT) to study the nonequilibrium glass transition behavior of a mono-disperse mixture of active-passive hard-sphere particles. The MCT equations clearly demonstrate that the glass transition is shifted to…

We consider the dynamics of cargo driven by a collection of interacting molecular motors in the context of an asymmetric simple exclusion processes (ASEP). The model is formulated to account for i) excluded volume interactions, ii) the…
We study a totally asymmetric simple exclusion process equipped with Langmuir kinetics with boundaries connected to a common reservoir. The total number of particles in the system is conserved and controlled by filling factor $\mu$.…
Diverse equilibrium systems with heterogeneous interactions lie at the edge of stability. Such marginally stable states are dynamically selected as the most abundant ones or as those with the largest basins of attraction. On the other hand,…
The one-dimensional asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP), where $N$ hard-core particles hop forward with rate $1$ and backward with rate $q<1$, is considered on a periodic lattice of $L$ site. Using KPZ universality and previous…
