Single-file transport, which corresponds to the diffusion of particles that cannot overtake each other in narrow channels, is an important topic in out-of-equilibrium statistical physics. Various microscopic models of single-file systems…

Transport through two one-dimensional interacting metals (Luttinger liquids) coupled together at a single point is analyzed. The dominant coupling mechanism is shown to be of electrostatic nature. Describing the voltage sources by boundary…
In this paper the motion of two-phase, incompressible, viscous fluids with surface tension is investigated. Three cases are considered: (1) the case of heat-conducting fluids, (2) the case of isothermal fluids, and (3) the case of Stokes…
Motion of chemically driven droplets is analyzed by applying a solvability condition of perturbed hydrodynamic equations affected by the adsorbate concentration. Conditions for traveling bifurcation analogous to a similar transition in…
Fluid-based locomotion at low Reynolds number is subject to the constraints of the scallop theorem, which dictate that body kinematics identical under a time-reversal symmetry (in particular, those with a single degree of freedom) cannot…
Torques on interfaces can be described by a divergence-free tensor which is fully encoded in the geometry. This tensor consists of two terms, one originating in the couple of the stress, the other capturing an intrinsic contribution due to…
The paper deals with systems of ordinary differential equations containing in the right-hand side controls which are discontinuous in phase variables. These controls cause the occurrence of sliding modes. If one uses one of the well-known…
Boundary driven diffusive systems describe a broad range of transport phenomena. We study large deviations of the density profile in these systems, using numerical and analytical methods. We find that the large deviation may be…
A new concept called multilevel contours is introduced through this article by the author. Theorems on contours constructed on a bundle of complex planes are stated and proved. Multilevel contours can transport information from one complex…
I discuss classical and quantum recurrence theorems in a unified manner, treating both as generalisations of the fact that a system with a finite state space only has so many places to go. Along the way I prove versions of the recurrence…
Thin fluid or elastic films and membranes are found in nature and technology, for instance, as confinements of living cells or in loudspeakers. When applying a net force, resulting flows in an unbounded two-dimensional incompressible…
The problem of the flow trough a porous media is formulated in terms of a pressure equation, based on arguments of volume conservation which state the mechanical equilibrium between the solid and the fluid phases. In the resulting governing…
Distribution functions of many static transport equations are found using the Maximum Entropy Principle. The equations of constraint which contain the relevant dynamical information are simply the low-lying moments of the distributions.…
Using well-known mathematical foundations of the elasticity theory, a mathematical model for two solutes transport in a poroelastic material (soft tissue is a typical example) is suggested. It is assumed that molecules of essentially…
How finite-sized material lines stretch in chaotic (mono-scale) and turbulent (multi-scale) flows remains a central but unresolved problem that governs mixing, transport and reaction. We show elongation is controlled by a finite-sampling…
