We study a class of reflected McKean-Vlasov diffusions over a convex domain with self-stabilizing coefficients. This includes coefficients that do not satisfy the classical Wasserstein Lipschitz condition. Further, the process is…

We study a scalar conservation law on the torus in which the flux $\mathbf{j}$ is composed of a Coulomb interaction and a nonlinear mobility: $\mathbf{j} = -u^m\nabla\mathsf{g}\ast u$. We prove existence of entropy solutions and a…

We study fluctuations of the empirical processes of a non-equilibrium interacting particle system consisting of two species over a domain that is recently introduced in [8] and establish its functional central limit theorem. This…

We consider a porous media equation with balanced bistable reactions, equipped with some general nonlinear boundary condition. When the coefficient of the reaction term is much larger than that of the diffusion term, we see that, besides…

This paper presents an {\it ab initio} derivation of the expression given by irreversible thermodynamics for the rate of entropy production for different classes of diffusive processes. The first class are Lorentz gases, where…

The behavior of a particle in a solvent has been framed using stochastic dynamics since the early theory of Kramers. A particle in a chemical reaction reacts slower in a diluted solvent because of the lack of energy transfer via collisions.…

We investigate toy dynamical models of energy-level repulsion in quantum eigenvalue sequences. We focus on parametric (with respect to a running coupling or "complexity" parameter) stochastic processes that are capable of relaxing towards a…

Patterns are ubiquitous in nature, but how they form is often unclear. Turing developed a seminal theory to explain patterns based on reactions that counteract the equalizing tendency of diffusion. These reactions require continuous energy…

We show that the TASEP of a driven system of particles of arbitrary size, with nearest neighbor repulsive interaction, on an open lattice is equivalent to the TASEP of interacting monomers on an open lattice whose size fluctuates in…

Constrained Markov processes, such as reflecting diffusions, behave as an unconstrained process in the interior of a domain but upon reaching the boundary are controlled in some way so that they do not leave the closure of the domain. In…

Static nonreciprocal forces between particles generically drive persistent motion reminiscent of self-propulsion. Here, we demonstrate that reciprocity-breaking fluctuations about a reciprocal mean coupling strength are sufficient to…

Escape of active agents from metastable states is of great interest in statistical and biological physics. In this study, we investigate the escape of a flexible active ring, composed of active Brownian particles, from a flat attractive…

We develop and implement new probabilistic strategy for proving basic results about long time behaviour for interacting diffusion processes on unbounded lattice. The concept of the solution used is rather weak as we construct the process as…
