We study the ageing properties of the semi-infinite kinetic spherical model at the critical point and in the ordered low-temperature phase, both for Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. The surface fluctuation-dissipation ratio and…
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…
We describe a chain of unidirectionally coupled adaptive excitable elements slowly driven by a stochastic process from one end and open at the other end, as a minimal toy model of unresolved irreducible uncertainty in a system performing…

A constitutive relation between stress and strain relative to a reference state is the basic assumption of elasticity theory. However, in living matter, force generation is governed by motor molecule activity, which does not depend on…

Many biological processes, from cell division to viral lysis, are triggered when an internal stochastic variable reaches a threshold. Here we introduce Branching under First-Passage Resetting, a general framework in which replication events…
In many interacting particle systems, relaxation to equilibrium is thought to occur via the growth of 'droplets', and it is a question of fundamental importance to determine the critical length at which such droplets appear. In this paper…
We study the limit fluctuations of the rescaled occupation time process of a branching particle system in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where the particles are subject to symmetric $\alpha$-stable migration ($0<\alpha\leq2$), critical binary branching,…

In this work, we consider a fully dynamic Biot model that includes memory effects due to evolving permeability. Time integrals are used to account for the change in structure. We propose an iterative splitting scheme for this model,…
A unified classification framework for models of extended plasticity is presented. The models include well known micromorphic and strain gradient plasticity formulations. A unified treatment is possible due to the representation of strain…
Active matter, responsive ("smart") materials and materials under time-dependent load are systems out of thermal equilibrium. To construct coarse-grained models for such systems, one needs to integrate out a distribution of microstates that…
We study the linear response of a two-state stochastic process, obeying renewal condition, by means of a stochastic rate equation equivalent to a master equation with infinite memory. We show that the condition of perennial aging makes the…
The interpretation of experimental and numerical data describing off-equilibrium aging dynamics crucially depends on the connection between spontaneous and induced fluctuations. The hypothesis that linear response fluctuations are…
We suggest to construct infinite stochastic binary sequences by associating one of the two symbols of the sequence with the renewal times of an underlying renewal process. Focusing on stationary binary sequences corresponding to delayed…
