Similarity solutions play an important role in many fields of science: we consider here similarity in stochastic dynamics. Important issues are not only the existence of stochastic similarity, but also whether a similarity solution is…

We consider a single particle spectrum as given by the eigenvalues of the Wigner-Dyson ensembles of random matrices, and fill consecutive single particle levels with n fermions. Assuming that the fermions are non-interacting, we show that…

On a Riemannian surface, the energy of a map into a Riemannian manifold is a conformal invariant functional, and its critical points are the harmonic maps. Our main result is a generalization of this theorem when the starting manifold is…
A new method is introduced allowing to solve exactly the reactions A+A->inert and A+A->A on the 1D lattice with synchronous diffusional dynamics (simultaneous hopping of all particles). Exact connections are found relating densities and…
Nonequilibrium interfacial thermodynamics is formulated in the presence of surface reactions for the study of diffusiophoresis in isothermal systems. As a consequence of microreversibility and Onsager-Casimir reciprocal relations,…
We analyse qualitative properties of the solutions to a mean-field equation for particles interacting through a pairwise potential while diffusing by Brownian motion. Interaction and diffusion compete with each other depending on the…
We consider a porous mediaum flow in which the gas is initially distributed in the exterior of an empty region (a hole) and study the final stage of the hole-filling process. Hole-filling is asymptotically described by a self-similar…
The influence of a fluid-fluid interface on self-phoresis of chemically active, axially symmetric, spherical colloids is analyzed. Distinct from the studies of self-phoresis for colloids trapped at fluid interfaces or in the vicinity of…
