For a certain class of isolated quantum systems, we report the existence of irreversible processes in which the energy is not dissipated. After a closed cycle in which the initial energy distribution is fully recovered, the expectation…
The empirical measure of an interacting particle system is a purely atomic random probability measure. In the limit as the number of particles grows to infinity, we show for McKean-Vlasov systems with common noise that this measure becomes…

We study the fluctuations of the outer domain of Hastings-Levitov clusters in the small particle limit. These are shown to be given by a continuous Gaussian process $\mathcal{F}$ taking values in the space of holomorphic functions on $\{…
We present a generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation that describes also the dissipative dynamics of a trapped partially Bose condensed gas. It takes the form of a complex nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with noise. We consider an…
Analytical expressions are given for the static structure factor S(k) and the pair correlation function g(r) for uniform ideal Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac gases for all temperatures. In the vicinity of Bose Einstein condensation (BEC)…
We study a hard sphere gas at equilibrium, and prove that in the low density limit, the fluctuations converge to a Gaussian process governed by the fluctuating Boltzmann equation. This result holds for arbitrarily long times. The method of…
One particle in a classical perfect gas is driven out of equilibrium by changing its mass over a short time interval. The work done on the driven particle depends on its collisions with the other particles in the gas. This model thus…
In this paper we study the near-field thermodynamics of a photon gas at equilibrium as well as out-of-equilibrium in the presence of dissipative effects. As a consequence of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, we are able to eliminate the…
In this paper we study the physical and statistical properties of the periodic Lorentz gas with finite horizon driven to a non-equilibrium steady state by the combination of non-conservative external forces and deterministic thermostats. A…
The equilibrium and fluctuations of an ideal gas in a rigid container are studied by every student of statistical mechanics. Here we study the less well-known case when the box is floating freely; in particular we determine the fluctuations…
The aim of this paper is to study the asymptotic behavior of a system of birth and death processes in mean field type interaction in discrete space. We first establish the exponential convergence of the particle system to equilibrium for a…
In this contribution we show that a suitably defined nonequilibrium entropy of an N-body isolated system is not a constant of the motion in general and its variation is bounded, the bounds determined by the thermodynamic entropy, i.e., the…
We study the fluctuation properties of a one-dimensional many-body quantum system composed of interacting bosons, and investigate the regimes where quantum noise or, respectively, thermal excitations are dominant. For the latter we develop…
We consider the extreme value statistics of correlated random variables that arise from a Langevin equation. Recently, it was shown that the extreme values of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process follow a different distribution than those…
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process may be used to generate a noise signal with a finite correlation time. If a one-dimensional stochastic process is driven by such a noise source, it may be analysed by solving a Fokker-Planck equation in two…
We develop here a new procedure within Einstein's theory of gravity to generate equilibrium configurations that result as the final state of gravitational collapse from regular initial conditions. As a simplification, we assume that the…
We study finite-size effects on the dynamics of a one-dimensional zero-range process which shows a phase transition from a low-density disordered phase to a high-density condensed phase. The current fluctuations in the steady state show…
We consider an exclusion process with finite-range interactions in the microscopic interval $[0,N]$. The process is coupled with the simple symmetric exclusion processes in the intervals $[-N,-1]$ and $[N+1,2N]$, which simulate reservoirs.…
We consider the doubly infinite Sierpinski gasket graph $SG_0$, rescale it by factor $2^{-n}$, and on the rescaled graphs $SG_n=2^{-n}SG_0$, for every $n\in \mathbb{N}$, we investigate the limit shape of three aggregation models with…
