We consider one-dimensional asymmetric exclusion processes with a simple attractive interaction, where the distance between consecutive particles is not allowed to exceed a certain limit and investigate the consequences of this coupling on…

We study a model for the movement of surfaces, namely the conserved, restricted solid-on-solid model. The surface configurations are restricted such that the difference between the heights at adjacent sites is no more than one. In addition…

Two-sided bounds are explored for concentration functions and R\'enyi entropies in the class of discrete log-concave probability distributions. They are used to derive certain variants of the entropy power inequalities.

We prove the convergence of a particle method for the approximation of diffusive gradient flows in one dimension. This method relies on the discretisation of the energy via non-overlapping balls centred at the particles and preserves the…

Consider $n$ complex random matrices $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ of size $d\times d$ sampled i.i.d. from a distribution with mean $E[X]=\mu$. While the concentration of averages of these matrices is well-studied, the concentration of other functions…

In this work I show how a diffusion-advection equation in three space-dimensions may have its advection term weakly limited to a velocity field localized to a moving curve. This is rigorously accomplished through the technique of…

In surface diffusion, one of the key observables is the so-called intermediate scattering function which is measured directly from the surface technique called Helium spin echo. In this work, we show that this function can be seen as a…

Entanglement is often verified by a violation of an inequality like a Bell inequality or an entanglement witness. Considerable effort has been devoted to the optimization of such inequalities in order to obtain a high violation. We…
