Diffusion-Limited Aggregation (DLA) is a cluster-growth model that consists in a set of particles that are sequentially aggregated over a two-dimensional grid. In this paper, we introduce a biased version of the DLA model, in which…
We describe Stochastic Loewner Evolution on arbitrary Riemann surfaces with boundary using Conformal Field Theory methods. We propose in particular a CFT construction for a probability measure on (clouded) paths, and check it against known…
When a viscous fluid partially fills a Hele--Shaw channel, and is pushed by a pressure difference, the fluid interface is unstable due to the Saffman--Taylor instability. We consider the evolution of a fluid region of finite extent, bounded…
This paper investigates additive processes with respect to several different independences in non-commutative probability in terms of the convolution hemigroups of the distributions of the increments of the processes. In particular, we…
We globally classify two-component evolution equations, with homogeneous diagonal linear part, admitting infinitely many approximate symmetries. Important ingredients are the symbolic calculus of Gel'fand and Dikii, the Skolem-Mahler-Lech…
A subdiffusion problem in which the diffusion term is related to a stable stochastic process is introduced. Linear models of these systems have been studied in a general way, but non-linear models require a more specific analysis. The model…
To learn about basic aspects of nano-scale spherical molecular shells during their formation, spherically curved two-dimensional N-particle Lennard-Jones systems are simulated, studying curvature evolution paths at zero-temperature. For…
We study directed random graphs (random graphs whose edges are directed) as they evolve in discrete time by the addition of nodes and edges. For two distinct evolution strategies, one that forces the graph to a condition of near acyclicity…
Time-dependent conformal maps are used to model a class of growth phenomena limited by coupled non-Laplacian transport processes, such as nonlinear diffusion, advection, and electro-migration. Both continuous and stochastic dynamics are…
This is the writeup of the lectures given at the Winter School "YRISW 2018" to appear in a special issue of JPhysA. In the first part of these lecture notes we review some important facts about 4D $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs. We begin with basic…
We show how to combine Kesten's scaling relations, the determination of critical exponents associated to the stochastic Loewner evolution process by Lawler, Schramm, and Werner, and Smirnov's proof of Cardy's formula, in order to determine…
Particular boundary correlation functions of conformal field theory are needed to answer some questions related to random conformally invariant curves known as Schramm-Loewner evolutions (SLE). In this article, we introduce a correspondence…
Tissue growth underpins a wide array of biological and developmental processes, and numerical modeling of growing systems has been shown to be a useful tool for understanding these processes. However, the phenomena that can be captured are…
These are notes to accompany my lectures at the $2024$ "Current Developments in Mathematics" conference hosted by Harvard/MIT. The lectures were about some recent progress in our understanding of two and three dimensional dynamical systems,…
The natural paramterization or length for the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE{\kappa}) is the candidate for the scaling limit of the length of discrete curves for \kappa < 8. We improve the proof of the existence of the parametrization and…
We introduce a model for describing the defected growth of striped patterns. This model, while roughly related to the Swift-Hohenberg model, generates a quite different mixture of defects during phase ordering. We find two characteristic…
This paper considers the problem of learning, from samples, the dependency structure of a system of linear stochastic differential equations, when some of the variables are latent. In particular, we observe the time evolution of some…
Nominal two-dimensional (2D) shear layers have been studied extensively, and their principal dynamics are well understood. In practical configurations, however, the behavior of such shear layers is affected by proximal surfaces. In this…
