This is a brief review of recent theoretical efforts to understand persistence in nonequilibrium systems. Some of the recent experimental results are also briefly mentioned. I also discuss recent generalizations of persistence in various…
We investigate the finite-size origin of the emission linewidth of a spatially-extended, one-dimensional non-equilibrium condensate. We show that the well-known Schawlow-Townes scaling of laser theory, possibly including the Henry…
In this letter we derive exponent inequalities relating the dynamic exponent $z$ to the steady state exponent $\Gamma$ for a general class of stochastically driven dynamical systems. We begin by deriving a general exact inequality, relating…
We study global regularity of nonlinear systems of partial differential equations depending on the symmetric part of the gradient with Dirichlet boundary conditions. These systems arise from variational problems in plasticity with power…
We consider the scaling limits for a one-dimensional random growth model, the weakly asymmetric single step Solid-on-Solid process. We show that the fluctuation field, if considered in an appropriate (long) space-time scale, solves the…
We study the formation of coherent structures in a system with long-range interactions where particles moving on a circle interact through a repulsive cosine potential. Non equilibrium structures are shown to correspond to statistical…
It is shown how the macroscopic non-equilibrium dynamics of a class of systems whose microscopic stochastic dynamics involves disordered and frustrated but range-free interactions can be well described by closed deterministic flow…
We investigate multicritical phenomena in O(N)+O(M)-models by means of nonperturbative renormalization group equations. This constitutes an elementary building block for the study of competing orders in a variety of physical systems. To…
We study in detail the application of renormalisation theory to models of cluster aggregation and fragmentation of relevance to nucleation and growth processes. We investigate the Becker-Dorging equations, originally formulated to describe…
The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation is a celebrated non-linear stochastic equation featuring non-equilibrium scaling. Although in one dimension, its statistical properties are very well understood, a new scaling regime has been reported…
A lower semicontinuity result and a relaxation formula for free discontinuity functionals with non-standard growth in the bulk energy are provided. Our analysis is based on a non-trivial adaptation of the blow-up (Ambrosio 1994) and of the…
Kinetic roughening of a randomly growing surface can be modelled by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation with a time-independent (``spatially quenched'' or ``columnar'') random noise. In this paper, we use the field-theoretic renormalization…
Non-equilibrium thermodynamics can provide strong advantages when compared to more standard equilibrium situations. Here, we present a general framework to study its application to concrete problems, which is valid also beyond the…
We discuss the renormalization of the initial value problem in Nonequilibrium Quantum Field Theory within a simple, yet instructive, example and show how to obtain a renormalized time evolution for the two-point functions of a scalar field…
The study of stochastic systems has received considerable interest over the years. Their dynamics can describe many equilibrium and nonequilibrium fluctuating systems. At the same time, nonequilibrium constraints interact with the time…
We study numerically the phase-ordering kinetics of the two-dimensional site-diluted Ising model. The data can be interpreted in a framework motivated by renormalization-group concepts. Apart from the usual fixed point of the non-diluted…
A fundamental problem of out-of-equilibrium physics is the speed at which the order parameter grows upon crossing a phase transition. Here, we investigate the dynamics of ordering in a Fermi gas undergoing a density-wave phase transition…
We study the stochastically driven conserved Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (CKPZ) equation with quenched disorders. Short-ranged quenched disorders is found to be a relevant perturbation on the pure CKPZ equation at one dimension, and as a result, a…
In this thesis, we explore several related topics broadly regarding the symmetry and geometric properties of nonlocal partial differential equations (PDE). This thesis is split into three parts. In the first part, we study two…
We establish the local boundedness of (sub-)solutions to nonlinear kinetic diffusion equations with $p$-growth, where the kinetic p-Laplace equation is a prototypical example. A key ingredient is the derivation of kinetic…
