The smallest classically stable Q-balls are, in fact, generically metastable: in quantum theory they decay into free particles via collective tunneling. We derive general semiclassical method to calculate the rate of this process in the…

This article relaxes the integrability condition imposed in the literature for the robust $\alpha$-stable central limit theorem under sublinear expectation. Specifically, for $\alpha \in(0,1]$, we prove that the normalized sums of i.i.d.…

Self-stabilization ensures that, after any transient fault, the system recovers in a finite time and eventually exhibits. Speculation consists in guaranteeing that the system satisfies its requirements for any execution but exhibits…

We revise the classical problem of characterizing first exit times of a harmonically trapped particle whose motion is described by one- or multi-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. We start by recalling the main derivation steps of a…

We construct a random partition of the space-time plane $\mathbb{R}_+\times \mathbb{R}$ using two coupled stochastic squared Bessel flows, whose parameters differ by $\delta\in (0,2)$. We show that the cells of this partition correspond to…

This paper is concerned with the small time behaviour of a L\'{e}vy process $X$. In particular, we investigate the {\it stabilities} of the times, $\Tstarb(r)$ and $\Tbarb(r)$, at which $X$, started with $X_0=0$, first leaves the space-time…

We analyze the generalized symmetric exclusion process, which allows at most $\alpha$ particles per site, and we put it in contact with stochastic reservoirs whose strength is regulated by a parameter $\theta\in\mathbb R$. We prove that the…
