We consider stochastic spin-flip dynamics for: (i) monotone discrete surfaces in Z^3 with planar boundary height and (ii) the one-dimensional discrete Solid-on-Solid (SOS) model confined to a box. In both cases we show almost optimal bounds…

We consider a flip dynamics for directed (1+d)-dimensional lattice paths with length L. The model can be interpreted as a higher dimensional version of the simple exclusion process, the latter corresponding to the case d=1. We prove that…

We study a heavy piston that separates finitely many ideal gas particles moving inside a one-dimensional gas chamber. Using averaging techniques, we prove precise rates of convergence of the actual motions of the piston to its averaged…

We study flocking in one dimension, introducing a lattice model in which particles can move either left or right. We find that the model exhibits a continuous nonequilibrium phase transition from a condensed phase, in which a single `flock'…

Motivated by the study of reversal behaviour of myxobacteria, in this article we are interested in a kinetic model for reversal dynamics, in which particles with directions close to be opposite undergo binary collision resulting in…

We show that, under certain natural assumptions, large random plane bipartite maps with a boundary converge after rescaling to a one-parameter family ($\mathrm{BD}_L$, $0 < L < \infty$) of random metric spaces homeomorphic to the closed…

A system consisting of two conservative, oppositely driven species of particles with excluded volume interaction alone is studied on a torus. The system undergoes a phase transition between a homogeneous and an inhomogeneous phase, as the…

The clogging behavior of a symmetric binary mixture of particles that are driven in opposite directions through constrictions is explored by Brownian dynamics simulations and theory. A dynamical state with a spontaneously broken symmetry…

The equilibrium conditions impose nontrivial geometrical constraints on the configurations that a two-dimensional foam can attain. In the first place, the three centers of the films that converge to a vertex have to be on a line, i.e. all…

Using the Fundamental-Measure Density Functional Theory, we have studied theoretically the phase behavior of extremely confined mixtures of parallel hard squares in slit geometry. The pore width is chosen such that configurations consisting…

We consider a model in which positive and negative particles with equal densities diffuse in an asymmetric, CP invariant way on a ring. The positive particles hop clockwise, the negative counter-clockwise and oppositely-charged adjacent…

We simulate a model of self-propelled disks with soft repulsive interactions confined to a box in two dimensions. For small rotational diffusion rates, monodisperse disks spontaneously accumulate at the walls. At low densities, interaction…

Using a calculus of variations approach, we determine the shape of a typical plane partition in a large box (i.e., a plane partition chosen at random according to the uniform distribution on all plane partitions whose solid Young diagrams…

Particle simulations confined by sharp walls usually develop an oscillatory density profile. For some applications, most notably soft matter liquids, this behavior is often unrealistic and one expects a monotonic density climb instead. To…

We consider randomized dynamics over the $n$-simplex, where at each step a random set, or block, of coordinates is evenly averaged. When all blocks have size 2, this reduces to the repeated averages studied in [CDSZ22], a version of the…

We investigate the deposition of binary mixtures of oriented superdisks on a plane. Superdisks are chosen as objects bounded by $|x|^{2p}+|y|^{2p}=1$, where parameter $p$ controls their size and shape. For single-type superdisks, the…

The broad motivation of this work is a rigorous understanding of reversible, local Markov dynamics of interfaces, and in particular their speed of convergence to equilibrium, measured via the mixing time $T_{mix}$. In the…

In this article we study the dynamics of one-dimensional relativistic billiards containing particles with positive and negative energy. We study configurations with two identical positive masses and symmetric positions with two massless…

We develop a monotone finite volume method for the time fractional Fokker-Planck equations and theoretically prove its unconditional stability. We show that the convergence rate of this method is order 1 in space and if the space grid…

Given a finite collection of two-dimensional tile types, the field of study concerned with covering the plane with tiles of these types exclusively has a long history, having enjoyed great prominence in the last six to seven decades. Much…
