This article is devoted to the study of the dynamical behavior of a collisionless kinetic gas in d=1,2,3 space dimensions which is trapped in a rotationally symmetric potential well. Although at the microscopic level the trajectories of…

Particles interacting with short-ranged potentials have attracted increasing interest, partly for their ability to model mesoscale systems such as colloids interacting via DNA or depletion. We consider the free energy landscape of such…

We review the out-of-equilibrium properties of a self-gravitating gas of particles in the presence of a strong friction and a random force (canonical gas). We assume a bare diffusion coefficient of the form $D(\rho)=T\rho^{1/n}$, where…

We consider a variational model for periodic partitions of the upper half-space into three regions, where two of them have prescribed volume and are subject to the geometrical constraint that their union is the subgraph of a function, whose…

We investigate the zero-temperature properties of a diluted homogeneous Bose gas made of $N$ particles interacting via a two-body square-well potential by perfor ming Monte Carlo simulations. We tune the interaction strength to achieve…

We analyze static properties of a strongly confined semiflexible polymer, i.e. either trapped in a closed space or compressed by external forces, in an athermal solvent. Like a flexible polymer case, we can resort to an analogy with the…

We investigate the ground state properties of a gas of interacting particles confined in an external potential in three dimensions and subject to rotation around an axis of symmetry. We consider the so-called Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) limit of…

We consider a quantum particle interacting with $N$ obstacles, whose positions are independently chosen according to a given probability density, through a two-body potential of the form $N^2 V(Nx)$ (Gross-Pitaevskii potential). We show…

During the last stage of collapse of a compact object into the horizon of events, the potential energy of its surface layer decreases to a negative value below all limits. The energy-conservation law requires an appearance of a…

We solve two-dimensional model of $N$-component dense electron gas in the limit of large $N$ and in a range of the Coulomb interaction parameter: $N^{-3/2}\ll r_s\ll 1$. The quasiparticle interaction on the Fermi circle vanishes as 1/N. The…

A `polydisperse' system has an infinite number of conserved densities. We give a rational procedure for projecting its infinite-dimensional free energy surface onto a subspace comprising a finite number of linear combinations of densities…

We consider the behavior of the quantity $p(\beta)$; the free energy of directed polymers in random environment in $1+2$ dimension, where $\beta$ is inverse temperature. We know that the free energy is strictly negative when $\beta$ is not…

We investigate a relativistic self-interacting gas in the field of an external {\it pp} gravitational wave. Based on symmetry considerations we ask for those forces which are able to compensate the imprint of the gravitational wave on the…

The particles of a classical relativistic gas are supposed to move under the influence of a quasilinear (in the particle four-momenta), self-interacting force inbetween elastic, binary collisions. This force which is completely fixed by the…

The energy route to the equation of state of hard-sphere fluids is ill-defined since the internal energy is just that of an ideal gas and thus it is independent of density. It is shown that this ambiguity can be avoided by considering a…

We show that a relativistic gas may be at ``global'' equilibrium in the expanding universe for any equation of state $0 < p \leq \rho /3$, provided that the gas particles move under the influence of a self-interacting, effective…
