Adhesive forces are capable of deforming a soft elastic object when it comes in contact with a flat rigid substrate. The contact is in stable equilibrium if the total energy of the system arising from the elastic and surface forces exhibits…
The noise driven motion in a bistable potential acts as the archetypal model of various physical phenomena. Here, we contrast the overdamped dynamics with the full (underdamped) dynamics. For the overdamped particle driven by a…
We investigate the resonance type behaviour of an overdamped Brownian particle in a bistable potential driven by external periodic signal. It has been shown previously that the input energy pumped into the system by the external drive shows…
We study a system of non-interacting active particles, propelled by colored noises, characterized by an activity time $\tau$, and confined by a double-well potential. A straightforward application of this system is the problem of barrier…
We use a spin-1/2 model to analyze tunnelling in a double well system coupled to an external reservoir. We consider different noise sources such as fluctuations on the height and central position of the barrier and propose an experiment to…

We consider an agent trying to bring a system to an acceptable state by repeated probabilistic action. Several recent works on algorithmizations of the Lovasz Local Lemma (LLL) can be seen as establishing sufficient conditions for the agent…
Activated Random Walk is a system of interacting particles which presents a phase transition and a conjectured phenomenon of self-organized criticality. In this note, we prove that, in dimension 1, in the supercritical case, when a segment…
We consider a finite dimensional deterministic dynamical system with a global attractor A with a unique ergodic measure P concentrated on it, which is uniformly parametrized by the mean of the trajectories in a bounded set D containing A.…
The survival problem for a diffusing particle moving among random traps is considered. We introduce a simple argument to derive the quenched asymptotics of the survival probability from the Lifshitz tail effect for the associated operator.…
Certain superposition states of the 1-D infinite square well have transient zeros at locations other than the nodes of the eigenstates that comprise them. It is shown that if an infinite potential barrier is suddenly raised at some or all…
