Stochastic systems often exhibit multiple viable metastable states that are long-lived. Over very long timescales, fluctuations may push the system to transition between them, drastically changing its macroscopic configuration. In realistic…

The statistical properties of infrequent particle displacements, greater than a certain distance, is known as jump dynamics in the context of structural glass formers. We generalize the concept of jump to the case of a spin glass, by…

The waiting time distribution (WTD) is a common tool for analysing discrete stochastic processes in classical and quantum systems. However, there are many physical examples where the dynamics is continuous and only approximately discrete,…

Particle-based stochastic approximations of the Boltzmann equation are popular tools for simulations of non-equilibrium gas flows, for which the Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations fail to provide accurate description. However, these numerical…

We study the statistics, in stationary conditions, of the work $W_\tau$ done by the active force in different systems of self-propelled particles in a time $\tau$. We show the existence of a critical value $W_\tau ^\dag$ such that…
