We consider a two species process which evolves in a finite or infinite domain in contact with particles reservoirs at different densities, according to the superposition of a generalised contact process and a rapid-stirring dynamics in the…
A one-dimensional reaction-diffusion model consisting of two species of particles and vacancies on a ring is introduced. The number of particles in one species is conserved while in the other species it can fluctuate because of creation and…
Using the sine-Gordon model as the prime example an alternative approach to integrable boundary conditions for a theory restricted to a half-line is proposed. The main idea is to explore the consequences of taking into account the…
We show that any interacting integrable model possesses a class of initial states for which the leading corrections to ballistic transport are subdiffusive rather than diffusive. These initial states are natural to realize experimentally…
A driven system of three species of particle diffusing on a ring is studied in detail. The dynamics is local and conserves the three densities. A simple argument suggesting that the model should phase separate and break the translational…
A binary fluid mixture in contact with lateral particle reservoirs is considered. By imposing different particle concentrations in these reservoirs, the system can be maintained under controlled non-equilibrium conditions. Previous…
The response to a magnetic flux is considered of the vacuum state of charged Dirac fermions interacting with a domain wall made of a neutral spinless field in (3+1) dimensions with the fermion mass having a phase variation across the wall.…
We demonstrate that absorbing phase transitions in one dimension may be induced by the dynamics of a single site. As an example we consider a one-dimensional model of diffusing particles, where a single site at the boundary evolves…
We define a simple model of conformal field theory in random space-time environments, which we refer to as stochastic conformal field theory. This model accounts for the effects of dilute random impurities in strongly interacting critical…
In this Letter we study the interactions of the dissipative domain walls with dielectric particles. It is shown that particles can be steadily trapped by the moving domain walls. The influence of the ratchet effect on particle trapping is…
We determine the $N$-particle stationary states of a staggered stochastic hopping model with reflective boundaries. It is shown that the stationary states are in fact so-called optimum ground states. Recursion relations in the particle…
In this paper we study a class of stationary states for reaction--diffusion systems of $k\geq 3$ densities having disjoint supports. For a class of segregation states governed by a variational principle we prove existence and provide…
We analyse a dynamic control problem for scalar reaction-diffusion equations, focusing on the emulation of pattern formation through the selection of appropriate active controls. While boundary controls alone prove inadequate for…
Two-dimensional maps can model interactions between populations. Despite their simplicity, these dynamical systems can show some complex situations, as multistability or fractal boundaries between basins that lead to remarkable pictures.…
We show that the spacetimes of domain wall solutions to the coupled Einstein-scalar field equations with a given scalar field potential fall into two classes, depending on whether or not reflection symmetry on the wall is imposed. Solutions…
We investigate a driven, one-dimensional system of colloidal particles in a periodically currogated narrow channel subject to a time-delayed feedback control. Our goal is to identify conditions under which the control induces oscillatory,…
In a two-dimensional toy model, motivated from five-dimensional heterotic M-theory, we study the collision of scalar field kinks with boundaries. By numerical simulation of the full two-dimensional theory, we find that the kink is always…
We study the large deviations of current-type observables defined for Markov diffusion processes evolving in smooth bounded regions of $\mathbb{R}^d$ with reflections at the boundaries. We derive for these the correct boundary conditions…
