We give a lower bound on the spectral gap for a class of stochastic energy exchange models. In 2011, Grigo et al. introduced the model and showed that, for a class of stochastic energy exchange models with a uniformly positive rate…

We present a method for bounding, and in some cases computing, the spectral gap for systems of many particles evolving under the influence of a random collision mechanism. In particular, the method yields the exact spectral gap in a model…

This paper studies a billiards-like microscopic heat conduction model, which describes the dynamics of gas molecules in a long tube with thermalized boundary. We numerically investigate the law of energy exchange between adjacent cells. A…

We present a simple strategy to derive universal bounds on the spectral gap of reversible stochastic exchange models on arbitrary graphs. The Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti (KMP) model, the harmonic process (HP), and the immediate exchange model…

We establish upper bounds for the spectral gap of the stochastic Ising model at low temperatures in an n-by-n box with boundary conditions which are not purely plus or minus; specifically, we assume the magnitude of the sum of the boundary…

We prove the analog of the Kac conjecture for hard sphere collisions

The spectral statistics in the strongly chaotic cardioid billiard are studied. The analysis is based on the first 11000 quantal energy levels for odd and even symmetry respectively. It is found that the level-spacing distribution is in good…

We develop a general technique, based on a Bochner-type identity, to estimate spectral gaps of a class of Markov operator. We apply this technique to various interacting particle systems. In particular, we give a simple and short proof of…

In this paper we prove the convergence to the stochastic Burgers equation from one-dimensional interacting particle systems, whose dynamics allow the degeneracy of the jump rates. To this aim, we provide a new proof of the second order…

The Kac model is a simplified model of an $N$-particle system in which the collisions of a real particle system are modeled by random jumps of pairs of particle velocities. Kac proved propagation of chaos for this model, and hence provided…

A fundamental problem of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics is the derivation of macroscopic transport equations in the hydrodynamic limit. The rigorous study of such limits requires detailed information about rates of convergence to…

We study the time-evolution of cumulants of velocities and kinetic energies in the stochastic Kac model for velocity exchange of $N$ particles, with the aim of quantifying how fast these degrees of freedom become chaotic in a time scale in…

One-dimensional billiard, i.e. a chain of colliding particles with equal masses, is well-known example of completely integrable system. Billiards with different particles are generically not integrable, but still exhibit divergence of a…

This paper consider the mesoscopic limit of a stochastic energy exchange model that is numerically derived from deterministic dynamics. The law of large numbers and the central limit theorems are proved. We show that the limit of the…

This paper is concerned with a Stackelberg stochastic differential game on a finite horizon in feedback information pattern. A system of parabolic partial differential equations is obtained at the level of Hamiltonian to give the…

We show that the spectral-gap of a general zero range process can be controlled in terms of the spectral-gap of a single particle. This is in the spirit of Aldous' famous spectral-gap conjecture for the interchange process. Our main…

We establish a sharp lower bound on the spectral gap of the biased adjacent-transposition Markov chain on the symmetric group. As a consequence, we resolve a longstanding conjecture of Fill, proving that among all regular probability…

We use a Harnack-type inequality on exit times and spectral bounds to characterize upper bounds of the heat kernel associated with any regular Dirichlet form without killing part, where the scale function may vary with position. We further…

For Gaussian random fields with values in $\mathbb{R}^d$, sharp upper and lower bounds on the probability of hitting a fixed set have been available for many years. These apply in particular to the solutions of systems of linear SPDEs. For…

We consider the class of dispersing billiard systems in the plane formed by removing three convex analytic scatterers satisfying the non-eclipse condition. The collision map in this system is conjugated to a subshift, providing a natural…
