May and Leonard (SIAM J. Appl. Math 1975) introduced a three-species Lotka-Volterra type population model that exhibits heteroclinic cycling. Rather than producing a periodic limit cycle, the trajectory takes longer and longer to complete…

We study a stochastic model of collective motion in which individuals update their orientation through pairwise aligning or anti-aligning copying interactions. We analyze both annealed dynamics, where interaction types are chosen…

Off-equilibrium dynamics of a three-dimensional lattice model with nearest- and next nearest-neighbors exclusions is studied. At equilibrium, the model undergoes a first-order fluid-solid transition. Non-equilibrium filling, through random…

Birds in a flock move in a correlated way, resulting in large polarization of velocities. A good understanding of this collective behavior exists for linear motion of the flock. Yet observing actual birds, the center of mass of the group…

We compute the growth fluctuations in equilibrium of a wide class of deposition models. These models also serve as general frame to several nearest-neighbor particle jump processes, e.g. the simple exclusion or the zero range process, where…

I study a population model in which the reproduction rate lambda is inherited with mutation, favoring fast reproducers in the short term, but conflicting with a process that eliminates agglomerations of individuals. The model is a variant…
