We investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics of spherical active Brownian particles in three spatial dimensions that interact via a pair potential. The investigation is based on a predictive local field theory that is derived by a rigorous…
We derive a rate of convergence of the Loewner driving function for planar loop-erased random walk to Brownian motion with speed 2 on the unit circle, the Loewner driving function for radial SLE(2). The proof uses a new estimate of the…
In this study, the non-equilibrium free energy corresponding to the curve generated by a modified stochastic Loewner evolution (SLE), which is driven by the Langevin equation, is theoretically investigated. Under certain conditions, we…
In this PhD Thesis we investigate the geometry of random fields on compact Riemannian manifolds, in particular the two-dimensional sphere. In the first part, we characterize isotropic Gaussian fields on homogeneous spaces of a compact group…
We consider a stochastic flow in which individual particles follow skew Brownian motions, with each one of these processes driven by the same Brownian motion. One does not have uniqueness for the solutions of the corresponding stochastic…
The non-thermal nature of self-propelling colloids offers new insights into non-equilibrium physics. The central mathematical model to describe their trajectories is active Brownian motion, where a particle moves with a constant speed,…
We study a class of multitype branching L\'evy processes, where particles move according to type-dependent L\'evy processes, switch types via an irreducible Markov chain, and branch according to type-dependent laws. This framework…
Combining experimental procedures and theoretical modeling, we studied patterns, shapes, and growth of a special type of SuperAbsorbent Polymers (SAP). At the initial stage, embed in water, we have a polygonal pattern over a spherical form,…
A continuum (Mullins-type) model is formulated for the isotropic evolution of a solid surface on which the mass transport occurs by oscillatory surface diffusion. The time-space oscillations of diffusivity are assumed to be induced by…
We study the formation of bands of colloidal particles driven by periodic external fields. Using Brownian dynamics, we determine the dependence of the band width on the strength of the particle interactions and on the intensity and…
We study a spatial branching model, where the underlying motion is Brownian motion and the branching is affected by a random collection of reproduction blocking sets called "mild" obstacles. We show that the quenched local growth rate is…

By using numerical and analytical methods, we describe the generation of fine-scale lateral electromagnetic waves, called surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs), on atomically thick, metamaterial conducting sheets in two spatial dimensions (2D).…
In this study, we investigate the relationship between the one-dimensional (1D) Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation and the stochastic Loewner equation (SLE), which is a one parameter family of the conformal mappings involving stochasticity.…
We establish a large deviation principle for chordal SLE$_\kappa$ parametrized by capacity, as the parameter $\kappa \to 0+$, in the topology generated by uniform convergence on compact intervals of the positive real line. The rate function…
Nonergodicity observed in single-particle tracking experiments is usually modeled by transient trapping rather than spatial disorder. We introduce models of a particle diffusing in a medium consisting of regions with random sizes and random…
The polygonal distributions are a class of distributions that can be defined via the mixture of triangular distributions over the unit interval. The class includes the uniform and trapezoidal distributions, and is an alternative to the beta…
We study random trees which are invariant in law under the operation of contracting each edge independently with probability $p\in(0,1)$. We show that all such trees can be constructed through Poissonian sampling from a certain class of…
We consider the stochastic Stokes drift of a flexible dumbbell. The dumbbell consists of two isotropic Brownian particles connected by a linear spring with zero natural length, and is advected by a sinusoidal wave. We find an asymptotic…
Disk accretion at high rate onto a white dwarf or a neutron star has been suggested to result in the formation of a spreading layer (SL) - a belt-like structure on the object's surface, in which the accreted matter steadily spreads in the…
