We prove a simple, explicit lower bound on the radius of a zero-free disk for Gibbs point processes defined by finite-range, repulsive multi-body interactions. Our lower bound improves on those previously known, and we demonstrate that it…
There are a variety of results in the literature proving forms of computability for topological entropy and pressure on subshifts. In this work, we prove two quite general results, showing that topological pressure is always computable from…
We present a novel Material Point Method (MPM) discretization of surface tension forces that arise from spatially varying surface energies. These variations typically arise from surface energy dependence on temperature and/or concentration.…
Repulsive self-propelled particles tend to cluster, leading to Motility-Induced Phase Separation (MIPS). By analogy with equilibrium phase separation, the onset of MIPS has been associated with a transition to effective attraction between…
A simple theoretical approach is used to investigate active colloids at the free interface and near repulsive substrates. We employ dynamical density functional theory to determine the steady-state density profiles in an effective…
When a binary liquid is confined by a strongly repulsive wall, the local density is depleted near the wall and an interface similar to that between the liquid and its vapor is formed. This analogy suggests that the composition of the binary…
We present new criteria, based on commutator methods, for the strong mixing property of discrete flows $\{U^N\}_{N\in\mathbb Z}$ and continuous flows $\{{\rm e}^{-itH}\}_{t\in\mathbb R}$ induced by unitary operators $U$ and self-adjoint…
We study asymmetric zero-range processes on Z with nearest-neighbour jumps and site disorder. The jump rate of particles is an arbitrary but bounded nondecreasing function of the number of particles. We prove quenched strong local…
The three-dimensional Gaussian core model (GCM) for soft-matter systems has repulsive interparticle interaction potential $\phi (r) = \varepsilon\, {\rm exp}\left[ -(r/\sigma)^{2} \right]$, with $r$ the distance between a pair of atoms, and…
We study an aggregation PDE with competing attractive and repulsive forces on a sphere of arbitrary dimension. In particular, we consider the limit of strongly localized repulsion with a constant attraction term. We prove convergence of…
The aim of the current paper is to illustrate, in a simple example, our recent, very general, rigorous results [Bru J.-B., de Siqueira Pedra W., J. Math. Anal. Appl. (2020), doi.org: 10.1016/j.jmaa.2020.124434 and…
We study algorithmic applications of a natural discretization for the hard-sphere model and the Widom-Rowlinson model in a region $\mathbb{V}\subset\mathbb{R}^d$. These models are used in statistical physics to describe mixtures of one or…
We consider spin systems with nearest-neighbor interactions on an $n$-vertex $d$-dimensional cube of the integer lattice graph $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We study the effects that exponential decay with distance of spin correlations, specifically the…
We consider the numerical approximation of acoustic wave propagation problems by mixed BDM(k+1)-P(k) finite elements on unstructured meshes. Optimal convergence of the discrete velocity and super-convergence of the pressure by one order are…
Computer simulations and theory are used to systematically investigate how the effective force between two big colloidal spheres in a sea of small spheres depends on the basic (big-small and small-small) interactions. The latter are modeled…
The results of this paper are 3-folded. Firstly, for any stationary determinantal process on the integer lattice, induced by strictly positive and strictly contractive involution kernel, we obtain the necessary and sufficient condition for…
Bose gas in a random external field is considered. The sigma model like effective action both for weak and strong random fields compared with the interaction between particles is derived by averaging over the random field and integration…

Selectivity of particles in a region of space can be achieved by applying external potentials to influence the particles in that region. We investigate static and dynamical properties of size selectivity in binary fluid mixtures of two…
The broad motivation of this work is a rigorous understanding of reversible, local Markov dynamics of interfaces, and in particular their speed of convergence to equilibrium, measured via the mixing time $T_{mix}$. In the…
