In this work we study analytically and numerically the transport properties of non-interacting active particles moving on a $d$-dimensional disordered media. The disorder in the space is modeled by means of a set of non-overlapping…
The paper presents new simple sharp bounds for transition density functions for time-homogeneous diffusions processes. The bounds are obtained under mild conditions on the drift and diffusion coefficients, extending and substantially…
The model of directed polymer in a random environment is a fundamental model of interaction between a simple random walk and ambient disorder. This interaction gives rise to complex phenomena and transitions from a central limit theory to…
The recent proliferation of correlated percolation models---models where the addition of edges/vertices is no longer independent of other edges/vertices---has been motivated by the quest to find discontinuous percolation transitions. The…
Spreading of bacteria in a highly advective, disordered environment is examined. Predictions of super-diffusive spreading for a simplified reaction-diffusion equation are tested. Concentration profiles display anomalous growth and…
Stochastic processes with absorbing states feature remarkable examples of non-equilibrium universal phenomena. While a broad understanding has been progressively established in the classical regime, relatively little is known about the…
We describe the resulting spatiotemporal dynamics when a homogeneous equilibrium loses stability in a spatially extended system. More precisely, we consider reaction-diffusion systems, assuming only that the reaction kinetics undergo a…
We introduce a correlated static model and investigate a percolation transition. The model is a modification of the static model and is characterized by assortative degree-degree correlation. As one varies the edge density, the network…
In this study, we develop a saturation-dependent treatment of dispersion in porous media using concepts from critical path analysis, cluster statistics of percolation, and fractal scaling of percolation clusters. We calculate spatial solute…
We investigate the dynamics of a particle moving randomly along a disordered hetero-polymer subjected to rapid conformational changes which induce superdiffusive motion in chemical coordinates. We study the antagonistic interplay between…
The basic notion of percolation in physics assumes the emergence of a giant connected (percolation) cluster in a large disordered system when the density of connections exceeds some critical value. Until recently, the percolation phase…
We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion processes on quenched random energy landscapes. We show that the current and the diffusion coefficient differ from those for homogeneous environments. Using the mean-field approximation,…
We investigate a model of epidemic spreading with partial immunization which is controlled by two probabilities, namely, for first infections, $p_0$, and reinfections, $p$. When the two probabilities are equal, the model reduces to directed…
We explore the effects that quenched disorder has on discontinuous nonequilibrium phase transitions into absorbing states. We focus our analysis on the Naming Game model, a nonequilibrium low-dimensional system with different absorbing…
We analyse how the sampling dynamics of distributions evolve in score-based diffusion models using cross-fluctuations, a centered-moment statistic from statistical physics. Specifically, we show that starting from an unbiased isotropic…
Motivated by considerations from neuroscience (macroscopic behavior of large ensembles of interacting neurons), we consider a population of mean field interacting diffusions in $\mathbf {R}^m$ in the presence of a random environment and…
The well-established universality classes of absorbing critical phenomena are directed percolation (DP) and directed Ising (DI) classes. Recently, the pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD) has been investigated extensively and claimed…
Social contagion has been studied in various contexts. Many instances of social contagion can be modeled as an infection process where a specific state (adoption of product, fad, knowledge, behavior, etc.) spreads from individual to…
Most biochemical reactions in living cells rely on diffusive search for target molecules or regions in a heterogeneous overcrowded cytoplasmic medium. Rapid re-arrangements of the medium constantly change the effective diffusivity felt…
These notes are devoted to the statistical mechanics of directed polymers interacting with one-dimensional spatial defects. We are interested in particular in the situation where frozen disorder is present. These polymer models undergo a…
