We consider a dynamical random interface on the infinite lattice $\mathbb{N}$ evolving according to a "corner flip" dynamic above a hard wall, with an additional pinning at the origin. We study the stationary fluctuations under a diffusive…
Roughening of interfaces implies the divergence of the interface width $w$ with the system size $L$. For two-dimensional systems the divergence of $w^2$ is linear in $L$. In the framework of a detailed capillary wave approximation and of…
We prove a hydrodynamic limit for ballistic deposition on a multidimensional lattice. In this growth model particles rain down at random and stick to the growing cluster at the first point of contact. The theorem is that if the initial…

We study the criticality of a Potts interface by introducing a {\it froth} model which, unlike its SOS Ising counterpart, incorporates bubbles of different phases. The interface is fractal at the phase transition of a pure system. However,…
We study a symmetric randomly moving line interacting by exclusion with a wall. We show that the expectation of the position of the line at the origin when it starts attached to the wall satisfies the following bounds: c_1t^{1/4}…
The zero-temperature Glauber dynamics of the random-field Ising model describes various ubiquitous phenomena such as avalanches, hysteresis, and related critical phenomena. Here, for a model on a random graph with a special initial…
We consider a thermodynamically consistent diffuse interface model describing two-phase flows of incompressible fluids in a non-isothermal setting. This model was recently introduced in a previous paper of ours, where we proved existence of…
We discuss a numerical method for convection-diffusion-reaction problems with a free boundary in 1D. The method is based on the numerical modelling of the interface evolution, the transformation to a fixed domain problem and the…
We study the evolution of a social network with friendly/enmity connections into a balanced state by introducing a dynamical model with an intrinsic randomness, similar to Glauber dynamics in statistical mechanics. We include the…
This paper studies Mullins' model of thermal grooving which consists of a surface diffusion flow equation with contact angle and no-flux boundary conditions. We consider this problem in a multi-dimensional half space and prove that if the…
Edwards--Wilkinson type models are studied in 1+1 dimensions and the time-dependent distribution, P_L(w^2,t), of the square of the width of an interface, w^2, is calculated for systems of size L. We find that, using a flat interface as an…
We present a new solution of the asymmetric two-matrix model in the large $N$ limit which only involves a saddle point analysis. The model can be interpreted as Ising in the presence of a magnetic field, on random dynamical lattices with…
We analyze a diffuse interface model for multi-phase flows of $N$ incompressible, viscous Newtonian fluids with different densities. In the case of a bounded and sufficiently smooth domain existence of weak solutions in two and three space…
