This paper studies the decay of a large, closed domain wall in a closed universe. Such walls can form in the presence of a broken, discrete symmetry. We study a novel process of quantum decay for such a wall, in which the vacuum fluctuates…

For a system of mean field interacting diffusion on $\mathbb{T}^d$, the empirical measure $\mu^N$ converges to the solution $\mu$ of the Fokker-Planck equation. Refining this mean field limit as a Central Limit Theorem, the fluctuation…
The fluctuation-dissipation theorem is a central result in statistical mechanics and is usually formulated for systems described by diffusion processes. In this paper, we propose a generalization for a wider class of stochastic processes,…

We consider the back-reaction of cosmological fluctuations on the local expansion rate averaged over a space-like hypersurface of constant value of a clock field. We show that in the infrared limit, the fluctuations lead to a decrease in…
Models of particles driven by a one-dimensional fluctuating surface are known to exhibit fluctuation dominated phase ordering (FDPO), in which both the order and fluctuations appear on macroscopic scales. Highly dynamic and macroscopically…

We analyze the validity of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem for slow relaxation systems in the context of mesoscopic nonequilibrium thermodynamics. We demonstrate that the violation arises as a natural consequence of the elimination of…

We solve the equations of motion for a scalar field with domain wall boundary conditions in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spacetime. We find (in agreement with Basu and Vilenkin) that no domain wall solutions exist in de Sitter…
We examine the long-time behaviour of A+B \to 0 reaction-diffusion systems with initially separated species A and B. All of our analysis is carried out for arbitrary (positive) values of the diffusion constant D_A of particles A and initial…

Domain walls, optimal droplets and disorder chaos at zero temperature are studied numerically for the solid-on-solid model on a random substrate. It is shown that the ensemble of random curves represented by the domain walls obeys Schramm's…
Reaction-diffusion systems, which consist of the reacting particles subject to diffusion process, constitute one of the common examples of non-linear statistical systems. In low space dimensions $d \leq 2$ the usual description by means of…
