Recent theory and experiments have shown how the buildup of a high-concentration polymer layer at a one-dimensional solvent-air interface can lead to an evaporation rate that scales with time as $t^{-1/2}$ and that is insensitive to the…
In \cite{fgn1}, the hydrodynamic limit in the diffusive scaling of the symmetric simple exclusion process with a finite number of slow bonds of strength $n^{-\beta}$ has been studied. Here $n$ is the scaling parameter and $\beta>0$ is…
We consider quantum Hamiltonians of the form H(t)=H+V(t) where the spectrum of H is semibounded and discrete, and the eigenvalues behave as E_n~n^\alpha, with 0<\alpha<1. In particular, the gaps between successive eigenvalues decay as…

Self-assembly and dynamical properties of Janus nanoparticles have been studied by molecular dynamic simulations. The nanoparticles are modeled as dimers and they are confined between two flat parallel plates to simulate a thin film. One…
A Langevin process diffusing in a periodic potential landscape has a time dependent diffusion constant which means that its average mean squared displacement (MSD) only becomes linear at late times. The long time, or effective diffusion…
We construct a nearest-neighbour interacting particle system of exclusion type, which illustrates a transition from slow to fast diffusion. More precisely, the hydrodynamic limit of this microscopic system in the diffusive space-time…
We establish exact inequalities for the structure-function scaling exponents of a passively advected scalar in both the inertial-convective and viscous-convective ranges. These inequalities involve the scaling exponents of the velocity…

A model for anomalous transport of tracer particles diffusing in complex media in two dimensions is proposed. The model takes into account the characteristics of persistent motion that active bath transfer to the tracer, thus the model…
Diffusion in a `rough' potential parameterized by a reaction coordinate $q$ is relevant to a wide spectrum of problems ranging from protein folding and charge transport in complex media to colloidal stabilization and self-assembly. This…
We consider a solvable model of the decay of scalar variance in a single-scale random velocity field. We show that if there is a separation between the flow scale k_flow^{-1} and the box size k_box^{-1}, the decay rate lambda ~…
