Weakly almost i.i.d. quantum sources are sequences of multipartite states whose fixed-size marginals converge, on average, to tensor powers of a reference state, while allowing arbitrary global correlations and entanglement. We establish…

We extend the relative entropy identity to the class of hyperbolic-parabolic systems whose hyperbolic part is symmetrizable. The resulting identity, in the general theory, is useful to provide stability of viscous solutions and yields a…

We consider an interacting particle system $(\eta_t)_{t\geq 0}$ with values in $\{0,1\}^{\mathbb{Z}}$, in which each vacant site becomes occupied with rate 1, while each connected component of occupied sites become vacant with rate equal to…

We study a physical system of $N$ interacting particles in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq1$, subject to pair repulsion and confined by an external field. We establish a large deviations principle for their empirical distribution as $N$ tends to…

The efficiency of Monte Carlo samplers is dictated not only by energetic effects, such as large barriers, but also by entropic effects that are due to the sheer volume that is sampled. The latter effects appear in the form of an entropic…
