In coalescing ballistic annihilation, infinitely many particles move with fixed velocities across the real line and, upon colliding, either mutually annihilate or generate a new particle. We compute the critical density in symmetric…
Ballistic annihilation is an interacting system in which particles placed throughout the real line move at preassigned velocities and annihilate upon colliding. The longstanding conjecture that in the symmetric three-velocity setting there…

We consider ballistic annihilation, a model for chemical reactions first introduced in the 1980's physics literature. In this particle system, initial locations are given by a renewal process on the line, motions are ballistic - i.e. each…
Three-speed ballistic annihilation starts with infinitely many particles on the real line. Each is independently assigned either speed-$0$ with probability $p$, or speed-$\pm 1$ symmetrically with the remaining probability. All particles…

In the ballistic annihilation process, particles on the real line have independent speeds symmetrically distributed in $\{-1,0,+1\}$ and are annihilated by collisions. It is widely believed that there is a phase transition at $p=p_{\mathrm…

We study systems of three interacting particles, in which drifts and variances are assigned by rank. These systems are "degenerate": the variances corresponding to one or two ranks can vanish, so the corresponding ranked motions become…
