A mass transport directed from low to high density region in an inhomogeneous medium is modeled as a limiting case of a two-component lattice gas with excluded volume constraint and one of the components fixed. In the long-wavelength…

We investigate the asymptotic properties of random polytopes arising as convex hulls of $n$ independent random points sampled from a family of block-beta distributions. Notably, this family includes the uniform distribution on a product of…

Entangled polymers are an important class of materials for their toughness, processability, and functionalizability. However, physically detailed modeling of highly entangled polymers can prove challenging, especially as one considers…

We study structural properties of a ring polymeric melt confined in a film in comparison to a linear counterpart using molecular dynamics simulations. Local structure orderings of ring and linear polymers in the vicinity of the surface are…

In this paper, we study the equilibrium properties of polymer chains end-tethered to a fluid membrane. The loss of conformational entropy of the polymer results in an inhomogeneous pressure field that we calculate for gaussian chains. We…

We calculate the mean square amplitude of the shape fluctuation -- an equal-time correlation -- of an almost planar fluid membrane immersed in a near-critical binary fluid mixture. One fluid component is usually preferentially attracted by…

The conditions of multi-phase equilibrium are solved for generic polydisperse systems. The case of multiple polydispersity is treated, where several properties (e.g. size, charge, shape) simultaneously vary from one particle to another. By…

The probability distribution for the free energy of directed polymers in random media (DPRM) with uncorrelated noise in $d=1+1$ dimensions satisfies the Tracy-Widom distribution. We inquire if and how this universal distribution is modified…

The convex hull generated by the restriction to the unit ball of a stationary Poisson point process in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space is considered. By establishing sharp bounds on cumulants, exponential estimates for large deviation…

The 1+1 dimensional directed polymers in a Poissonean random environment is studied. For two polymers of maximal length with the same origin and distinct end points we establish that the point of last branching is governed by the exponent…

A perturbative technique, the low-temperature expansion, is developed for matrix models of random surfaces. It can be applied to models with arbitrary target spaces, including ones with c>1. As a simple illustration, the series is worked…

Let $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ be a standard normal sample in $\mathbb R^d$. We compute exactly the expected volume of the Gaussian polytope $\mathrm{conv}[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$, the symmetric Gaussian polytope $\mathrm{conv}[\pm X_1,\ldots,\pm X_n]$, and…

In this work a new strategy is proposed in order to build analytic and microscopic models of fluctuating polymer rings subjected to topological constraints. The topological invariants used to fix these constraints belong to a wide class of…

We extend classical Flory-Rehner theory for the expansion and compression of porous materials such as cross-linked polymer networks. The theory includes volume exclusion, affinity with the solvent, and finite stretching of the polymer…

This article will review recent results on dimensional reduction for branched polymers, and discuss implications for critical phenomena. Parisi and Sourlas argued in 1981 that branched polymers fall into the universality class of the…

We consider the simplest representative of the class of multiply branched polymer macromolecules, known as a pom-pom structure. The molecule consists of a backbone linear chain terminated by two branching points with functionalities…

The viscosity enhancement of a solvent produced by the addition of thickening branched polymers is predicted as a function of polymer concentration, branch length and persistence length, and strength of the covalent bonding interactions.…

We use an off - lattice bead - spring model of a self - avoiding polymer chain immersed in a 3-dimensional quenched random medium to study chain dynamics by means of a Monte - Carlo (MC) simulation. The chain center of mass mean-squared…

Three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations provide a striking confirmation to a recent theoretical prediction: the Brownian non-Gaussian diffusion of critical self-avoiding walks. Although the mean square displacement of the polymer center…

We show that by coupling complex three-state systems to branched-polymer like ensembles we can obtain models with gamma-string different from one half. It is also possible to study the interpolation between dynamical and crystalline graphs…
