In this paper, we are concerned with a class of conservative systems including asymmetric exclusion processes and zero-range processes as examples, where some particles are initially placed on $N$ positions. A particle jumps from a position…

Consider the motion of a Brownian particle in two or more dimensions, whose coordinate processes are standard Brownian motions with zero drift initially, and then at some random/unobservable time, one of the coordinate processes gets a…

A classical model of Brownian motion consists of a heavy molecule submerged into a gas of light atoms in a closed container. In this work we study a 2D version of this model, where the molecule is a heavy disk of mass M and the gas is…

We show that Brownian motion is spatially not symmetric for mesoscopic particles embedded in a fluid if the particle is not in thermal equilibrium and its shape is not spherical. In view of applications on molecular motors in biological…

Consider a branching Brownian motion (BBM). It is well known \cite{Bramson1983ConvergenceOS, Lalley1987ACL} that the rightmost particle is located near \( m_t = \sqrt{2} t - \frac{3}{2\sqrt{2}} \log t \). Let $\mathcal{N}(t,x)$ be the set…

Throughout physics Brownian dynamics are used to describe the behaviour of molecular systems. When the Brownian particle is confined to a bounded domain, a particularly important question arises around determining how long it takes the…

We consider the motion of a particle under a continuum random environment whose distribution is given by the Howitt-Warren flow. In the moderate deviation regime, we establish that the quenched density of the motion of the particle (after…

We study a dyadic branching Brownian motion on the real line with absorption at 0, drift $\mu \in \mathbb{R}$ and started from a single particle at position $x>0.$ When $\mu$ is large enough so that the process has a positive probability of…

We show that the longitudinal position $x(t)$ of a particle in a $(d+1)$-dimensional layered random velocity field (the Matheron-de Marsily model) can be identified as a fractional Brownian motion (fBm) characterized by a variable Hurst…

The weak noise limit of dissipative dynamical systems is often the most fascinating one. In such a case fluctuations can interact with a rich complexity frequently hidden in deterministic systems to give rise of completely new phenomena…

In 1905, Einstein's theory of Brownian motion supported the molecular basis of the diffusion equation and introduced two complementary viewpoints: a deterministic field description and a probabilistic formulation based on stochastic…

In this work we study a branching particle system of diffusion processes on the real line interacting through their rank in the system. Namely, each particle follows an independent Brownian motion, but only K $\ge$ 1 particles on the far…
