We study a particle system with the following diffusion-branching-selection mechanism. Particles perform independent one dimensional Brownian motions and on top of that, at a constant rate, a pair of particles is chosen uniformly at random…

Throughout physics Brownian dynamics are used to describe the behaviour of molecular systems. When the Brownian particle is confined to a bounded domain, a particularly important question arises around determining how long it takes the…

We study the height of the maximal particle at time $t$ of a one dimensional branching Brownian motion with a space-dependent branching rate. The branching rate is set to zero in finitely many intervals (obstacles) of order $t$. We obtain…

Representations of branching Markov processes and their measure-valued limits in terms of countable systems of particles are constructed for models with spatially varying birth and death rates. Each particle has a location and a "level,"…

In these notes, we describe the strategy for the derivation of the hydrodynamic limit for a family of long range interacting particle systems of exclusion type with symmetric rates. For $m \in \mathbb{N}:=\{1, 2, \ldots\}$ fixed, the…

We study a spatial branching model, where the underlying motion is $d$-dimensional ($d\ge1$) Brownian motion and the branching rate is affected by a random collection of reproduction suppressing sets dubbed mild obstacles. The main result…

We find the exponential growth rate of the population outside a ball with time dependent radius for a branching Brownian motion in Euclidean space. We then see that the upper bound of the particle range is determined by the principal…

We consider a branching-selection system in $\mathbb {R}$ with $N$ particles which give birth independently at rate 1 and where after each birth the leftmost particle is erased, keeping the number of particles constant. We show that, as…

In this paper, we are concerned with a class of conservative systems including asymmetric exclusion processes and zero-range processes as examples, where some particles are initially placed on $N$ positions. A particle jumps from a position…

We consider critical branching Brownian motion with absorption, in which there is initially a single particle at $x > 0$, particles move according to independent one-dimensional Brownian motions with the critical drift of $-\sqrt{2}$, and…
