Two-point boundary correlation functions of dense loop models

Alexi Morin-Duchesne, Jesper Lykke Jacobsen

We investigate six types of two-point boundary correlation functions in the dense loop model. These are defined as ratios of partition functions on the square l…

On the motion of kinesin in a viscoelastic medium

Gert Knoops, Carlo Vanderzande

Kinesin is a molecular motor that transports cargo along microtubules. The results of many {\it in vitro} experiments on kinesin-1 are described by kinetic models \cite{Clancy11} i…

Stabilization in the eye of a cyclone

Thibaut Demaerel, Christian Maes, Karel Netočný

We consider the systematic force on a heavy probe induced by interaction with an overdamped diffusive medium where particles undergo a rotating force around a fixed center. The sti…

Transition path time distributions

M. Laleman, E. Carlon, H. Orland

Biomolecular folding, at least in simple systems, can be described as a two state transition in a free energy landscape with two deep wells separated by a high barrier. Transition…

Deriving GENERIC from a generalized fluctuation symmetry

Richard Kraaij, Alexandre Lazarescu, Christian Maes +1

Much of the structure of macroscopic evolution equations for relaxation to equilibrium can be derived from symmetries in the dynamical fluctuations around the most typical trajecto…

Frenetic bounds on the entropy production

Christian Maes

We show that under local detailed balance the expected entropy production rate is always bounded in terms of the dynamical activity. The activity refers to the time-symmetric contr…

(Non) equilibrium dynamics: a (broken) symmetry of the Keldysh generating functional

Camille Aron, Giulio Biroli, Leticia F. Cugliandolo

We unveil the universal (model-independent) symmetry satisfied by Schwinger-Keldysh quantum field theories whenever they describe equilibrium dynamics. This is made possible by a g…

Activity induced first order transition for the current in a disordered medium

T. Demaerel, C. Maes

It is well known that particles can get trapped by randomly placed obstacles when they are pushed too much. We present a model where the current in a disordered medium dies at a la…

Kinetic theory of fermions in curved spacetime

Christian Fidler, Cyril Pitrou

We build a statistical description of fermions, taking into account the spin degree of freedom in addition to the momentum of particles, and we detail its use in the context of the…
