We address, on the example of a simple solvable model, the issue of whether the stationary state of dissipative systems converges to an equilibrium state in the low dissipation limit. We study a driven dissipative Zero Range Process on a…
In this lecture at a school for condensed matter physicists, I begin with basic concepts and tools for investigating phase transitions in quantum field theory. The very different roles of global and gauge symmetries in phase transitions…
We analyze the probability distribution for entropy production rates of trajectories evolving on a class of out-of-equilibrium kinetic networks. These networks can serve as simple models for driven dynamical systems, which are of particular…

We review in details some recently proposed kinetic models of opinion dynamics. We discuss the several variants including a generalised model. We provide mean field estimates for the critical points, which are numerically supported with…
Thermodynamic uncertainty relations have emerged as universal bounds on current fluctuations in non-equilibrium systems. Here we derive a new bound for a particular class of run-and-tumble type processes using the mathematical framework of…
The goal of these lecture notes is to present in a unified way various models for the dynamics of aligning self-propelled rigid bodies at different scales and the links between them. The models and methods are inspired from [12,13], but, in…
We study stochastic particle systems with stationary product measures that exhibit a condensation transition due to particle interactions or spatial inhomogeneities. We review previous work on the stationary behaviour and put it in the…
The energy system studies include a wide range of issues from short term (e.g. real-time, hourly, daily and weekly operating decisions) to long term horizons (e.g. planning or policy making). The decision making chain is fed by input…
Condensation phenomena in particle systems typically occur as one of two distinct types: either as a spontaneous symmetry breaking in a homogeneous system, in which particle interactions enforce condensation in a randomly located site, or…
The main goal of these notes is to give an introduction to the mathematics of quantum noise and some of its applications in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. We start with some reminders from the theory of classical stochastic…
We provide two methods to construct zero-range processes with superlinear rates on ${\mathbb Z}^d$. In the first method these rates can grow very fast, if either the dynamics and the initial distribution are translation invariant or if only…
The vacuum is full of virtual particles which exist for short moments of time. In this paper we construct a chaotic model of vacuum fluctuations associated with a fundamental entropic field that generates an arrow of time. The dynamics can…
Nonequilibrium fluctuations of a tagged, or distinguished particle in a class of one dimensional mean-zero zero-range systems with sublinear, increasing rates are derived. In Jara-Landim-Sethuraman (2009), processes with at least linear…
This series of lectures consists of two parts. In the first part the foundations of perturbative and non perturbative formulation are discussed. The ambiguity in the definition of vacuum condensates is then analyzed. In the second part the…
The goal of this paper is to put together several techniques in handling dynamical systems on zero-dimensional spaces, such as array representation, inverse limit representation, or Bratteli-Vershik representation. We describe how one can…
We use extreme value statistics to study the dynamics of coarsening in aggregation-fragmentation models which form condensates in the steady state. The dynamics is dominated by the formation of local condensates on a coarsening length scale…
We study the dynamics of density fluctuations in the steady state of a non-equilibrium system, the Zero-Range Process on a ring lattice. Measuring the time series of the total number of particles in a \emph{segment} of the lattice, we find…
