We consider the Random-Cluster model on $(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})^d$ with parameters $p \in (0,1)$ and $q\ge 1$. This is a generalization of the standard bond percolation (with open probability $p$) which is biased by a factor $q$ raised to…
The cutoff phenomenon describes a sharp transition in the convergence of a Markov chain to equilibrium. In recent work, the authors established cutoff and its location for the stochastic Ising model on the $d$-dimensional torus $(Z/nZ)^d$…
Recently it has been shown that when an equation that allows so-called pulled fronts in the mean-field limit is modelled with a stochastic model with a finite number $N$ of particles per correlation volume, the convergence to the speed…
We consider a natural front evolution problem the East process on $\mathbb{Z}^d, d\ge 2,$ a well studied kinetically constrained model for which the facilitation mechanism is oriented along the coordinate directions, as the equilibrium…
Motivated by an exact mapping between anisotropic half integer spin quantum Heisenberg models and asymmetric diffusions on the lattice, we consider an anisotropic simple exclusion process with $N$ particles in a rectangle of $\bbZ^2$. Every…
We analyze kinetically constrained 0-1 spin models (KCSM) on rooted and unrooted trees of finite connectivity. We focus in particular on the class of Friedrickson-Andersen models FA-jf and on an oriented version of them. These tree models…
We study the effect of a small cutoff $\epsilon$ on the velocity of a pulled front in one dimension by means of a variational principle. We obtain a lower bound on the speed dependent on the cutoff, and for which the two leading order terms…
A model of population growth and dispersal is considered where the spatial habitat is a lattice and reproduction occurs generationally. The resulting discrete dynamical systems exhibits velocity locking, where rational speed invasion fronts…
In classical probability theory, the term "cutoff" describes the property of some Markov chains to jump from (close to) their initial configuration to (close to) completely mixed in a very narrow window of time. We investigate how coherent…
We consider the dynamics of spin facilitated models of glasses in the non-equilibrium aging regime following a sudden quench from high to low temperatures. We briefly review known results obtained for the broad class of kinetically…
The present expository article overviews recent mathematical advances on the Fredrickson--Andersen kinetically constrained spin model in two dimensions. It was introduced in physics as a toy model for recovering the glassy phenomenology in…
We compute the mixing time of the Facilitated Exclusion Process (FEP) and obtain cutoff and pre-cutoff in different regimes. The main tool to obtain this result is a new bijective, deterministic mapping between the joint law of an ergodic…
This paper studies the mixing behavior of the Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (ASEP) on a segment of length $N$. Our main result is that for particle densities in $(0,1),$ the total-variation cutoff window of ASEP is $N^{1/3}$ and the…
We analyze the density and size dependence of the relaxation time $\tau$ for kinetically constrained spin systems. These have been proposed as models for strong or fragile glasses and for systems undergoing jamming transitions. For the one…
In this article, we prove the cutoff phenomenon for a general class of the discrete-time nonlinear recombination models. This system models the evolution of a probability measure on a finite product space $S^n$ representing the state of…
We study mixing times of the symmetric and asymmetric simple exclusion process on the segment where particles are allowed to enter and exit at the endpoints. We consider different regimes depending on the entering and exiting rates as well…
Facilitated spin models were introduced some decades ago to mimic systems characterized by a glass transition. Recent developments have shown that a class of facilitated spin models is also able to reproduce characteristic signatures of the…
In this paper, we study the cut-off phenomenon under the total variation distance of $d$-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes which are driven by L\'evy processes. That is to say, under the total variation distance, there is an abrupt…
Fronts, propagating into an unstable state $\phi=0$, whose asymptotic speed $v_{\text{as}}$ is equal to the linear spreading speed $v^*$ of infinitesimal perturbations about that state (so-called pulled fronts) are very sensitive to changes…
Drifting Models [Deng et al., 2026] train a one-step generator by evolving samples under a kernel-based drift field, avoiding ODE integration at inference. The original analysis leaves two questions open. The drift-field iteration admits a…
