It is commonly believed that the current response of an electron fluid to a mechanical force (such as an electric field) or to a ``statistical force" (e.g., a gradient of chemical potential) are governed by a single linear transport…
We study transport of an inertial Brownian particle moving in a symmetric and periodic one-dimensional potential, and subjected to both a symmetric, unbiased external harmonic force as well as biased dichotomic noise $\eta(t)$ also known as…
We report some additional examples of explicit solutions to an inverse first-passage place problem for one-dimensional diffusions with jumps, introduced in a previous paper. If $X(t)$ is a one-dimensional diffusion with jumps, starting from…
We consider a Langevin process with white noise random forcing. We suppose that the energy of the particle is instantaneously absorbed when it hits some fixed obstacle. We show that nonetheless, the particle can be instantaneously…

We consider the motion of a particle in a periodic two dimensional flow perturbed by small (molecular) diffusion. The flow is generated by a divergence free zero mean vector field. The long time behavior corresponds to the behavior of the…
We suggest a rigorous definition of the pathwise flux across the boundary of a bounded open set for transient finite energy diffusion processes. The expectation of such a flux has the property of depending only on the current velocity $v$,…

We prove existence and uniqueness of a reaction-diffusion equation whose diffusivity is a non-linear functional of the boundary temperature. We do this by studying systems of one-dimensional reflecting diffusions whose noise is a function…
A $g$--subdiffusion equation with fractional Caputo time derivative with respect to another function $g$ is used to describe a process of a continuous transition from subdiffusion with parameters $\alpha$ and $D_\alpha$ to subdiffusion with…

The Fluctuation Theorem (FT) gives an analytic expression for the probability, in a nonequilibrium system of finite size observed for a finite time, that the dissipative flux will flow in the reverse direction to that required by the Second…
We study the late time dynamics of a single active Brownian particle in two dimensions with speed $v_0$ and rotation diffusion constant $D_R$. We show that at late times $t\gg D_R^{-1}$, while the position probability distribution…
We formulate a scaling theory for the long-time diffusive motion in a space occluded by a high density of moving obstacles in dimensions 1, 2 and 3. Our tracers diffuse anomalously over many decades in time, before reaching a diffusive…
We consider a system of two reaction-diffusion-advection equations describing the one dimensional directed motion of particles with superimposed diffusion and mutual alignment. For this system we show the existence of traveling wave…
