Persistence in coarsening 1D spin systems with a power law interaction $r^{-1-\sigma}$ is considered. Numerical studies indicate that for sufficiently large values of the interaction exponent $\sigma$ ($\sigma\geq 1/2$ in our simulations),…

Disorder and homogeneity are two concepts that refer to spatial variation of the system potential. In condensed-matter systems disorder is typically divided into two types; those with local parameters varying from site to site (diagonal…

We prove a $\Gamma$-convergence result for space dependent weak membrane energies, that is for 'truncated quadratic potentials', that are quadratic below some threshold (depending on the pair of points that we are considering) and constant…

We establish a quantitative homogenization result for an interface moving through a field of sufficiently sparse but possibly impenetrable random obstacles. From a physical viewpoint, such problems arise e.g. in the context of the motion of…

Liquid-gas phase coexistence in a boundary-driven diffusive system is studied by analyzing fluctuating hydrodynamics of a density field defined on a one-dimensional lattice with a space interval $\Lambda$. When an interface width $\ell$ is…

A homogenization result for a family of integral energies is presented, where the fields are subjected to periodic first order oscillating differential constraints in divergence form. The work is based on the theory of A -quasiconvexity…

We consider d dimensional systems which are localized in the absence of interactions, but whose single particle (SP) localization length diverges near a discrete set of (single-particle) energies, with critical exponent \nu. This class…
