In this paper, we present the detailed calculation of the persistence exponent $\theta$ for a nearly-Markovian Gaussian process $X(t)$, a problem initially introduced in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 1420 (1996)], describing the probability that…
We present a parametric finite element approximation of two-phase flow. This free boundary problem is given by the Stokes equations in the two phases, which are coupled via jump conditions across the interface. Using a novel variational…
Zonal jets manifest themselves as bands with sharp interfaces in the vorticity configuration. We develop an algorithm to track these fluctuating vorticity interfaces and systematically investigate their characteristic spatio-temporal…
We consider approximations of the Stefan-type condition by imbalances of volume closely around the inner interface and study convergence of the solutions of the corresponding semilinear stochastic moving boundary problems. After a…
In this study we try to answer the qustion : What happens when explicit constraints are introduced such that the low energy, long wavelength modes of a system are unavailable ? This question has assumed some importance in recent years due…
This paper is devoted to the analysis of the problem of stabilization of fractional (in time) partial differential equations. We consider the following equation $$ \partial^{\alpha,\eta}_{t} u(t)=\mathcal{A}u(t)-\frac{\eta}{\Gamma…
The dynamics of a driven interface in a medium with random pinning forces is analyzed. The interface undergoes a depinning transition where the order parameter is the interface velocity $v$, which increases as $v \sim (F-F_c)^\theta$ for…
In this paper we study the scaling behavior of the interface fluctuations (roughness) for a discrete model with conservative noise on complex networks. Conservative noise is a noise which has no external flux of deposition on the surface…
We study a reversible continuous-time Markov dynamics of a discrete $(2+1)$-dimensional interface. This can be alternatively viewed as a dynamics of lozenge tilings of the $L\times L$ torus, or as a conservative dynamics for a…
We study the statistical mechanics of a single active slider on a fluctuating interface, by means of numerical simulations and theoretical arguments. The slider, which moves by definition towards the interface minima, is active as it also…
We investigate a two-dimensional transmission model consisting of a wave equation and a Kirchhoff plate equation with dynamical boundary controls under geometric conditions. The two equations are coupled through transmission conditions…
The mean ($\kappa$) and Gaussian ($\bar{\kappa}$) bending rigidities of liquid-liquid interfaces, of importance for shape fluctuations and topology of interfaces, respectively, are not yet established: even their signs are debated. Using…
When a stable ordered phase and a metastable disordered phase are separated by a flat interface, the metastable state changes to the stable state through the propagation of the interface. For cases in which latent heat is generated, the…
In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 120601] we have shown that the dynamics of interfaces, in the symmetry-broken phase of the two-dimensional ferromagnetic quantum Ising model, displays a robust form of ergodicity breaking. In this…
In this work, we derive a result of exponential stability for a coupled system of partial differential equations (PDEs) which governs a certain fluid-structure interaction. In particular, a three-dimensional Stokes flow interacts across a…
A set of one dimensional interfaces involving attachment and detachment of $k$-particle neighbors is studied numerically using both large scale simulations and finite size scaling analysis. A labeling algorithm introduced by Barma and Dhar…
The response and nonconserved dynamics of a two-phase interface in the presence of a temperature gradient oriented normally to the interface are considered. Two types of boundary conditions on the order parameter are considered, and the…
We establish a thermodynamic limit and Gaussian fluctuations for the height and surface width of the random interface formed by the deposition of particles on surfaces. The results hold for the standard ballistic deposition model as well as…

These are lecture notes of a course given at the 9th International Summer School on Fundamental Problems in Statistical Mechanics, held in Altenberg, Germany, in August 1997. In these notes, we discuss at an elementary level three themes…
