Energy flux distribution in a two-temperature Ising model

Vivien Lecomte, Zoltan Racz, Frederic van Wijland

The nonequilibrium steady state of an infinite-range Ising model is studied. The steady state is obtained by dividing the spins into two groups and attaching them to two heat baths…

Granular gases: dynamics and collective effects

Alain Barrat, Emmanuel Trizac, Matthieu H. Ernst

We present a biased review of some of the most "spectacular" effects appearing in the dynamics of granular gases where the dissipative nature of the collisions leads to a rich phen…

Rate equation approach for correlations in growing network models

Alain Barrat, Romualdo Pastor-Satorras

We propose a rate equation approach to compute two vertex correlations in scale-free growing network models based in the preferential attachment mechanism. The formalism, based on…

Understanding Search Trees via Statistical Physics

Satya N. Majumdar, David S. Dean, P. L. Krapivsky

We study the random m-ary search tree model (where m stands for the number of branches of a search tree), an important problem for data storage in computer science, using a variety…

Statistics of randomly branched polymers in a semi-space

M. V. Tamm, S. K. Nechaev, I. Ya. Erukhimovich

We investigate the statistical properties of a randomly branched 3--functional --link polymer chain without excluded volume, whose one point is fixed at the distance from th…

Pair Contact Process with Diffusion: Failure of Master Equation Field Theory

Hans-Karl Janssen, Frederic van Wijland, Olivier Deloubriere +1

We demonstrate that the `microscopic' field theory representation, directly derived from the corresponding master equation, fails to adequately capture the continuous nonequilibriu…

Energy Profile Fluctuations in Dissipative Nonequilibrium Stationary States

Jean Farago

The exact large deviation function (ldf) for the fluctuations of the energy density field is computed for a chain of Ising (or more generally Potts) spins driven by a zero-temperat…

Power fluctuations in stochastic models of dissipative systems

Jean Farago

We consider different models of stochastic dissipative equations and theoretically compute the probability distribution functions (actually the associated large deviation functions…

Equilibrium statistics of a slave estimator in Langevin processes

David S. Dean, Ian T. Drummond, Ron R. Horgan +1

We analyze the statistics of an estimator, denoted by xi_t and referred to as the slave, for the equilibrium susceptibility of a one dimensional Langevin process x_t in a potential…

Symmetry and species segregation in diffusion-limited pair annihilation

H. J. Hilhorst, M. J. Washenberger, U. C. Tauber

We consider a system of q diffusing particle species A_1,A_2,...,A_q that are all equivalent under a symmetry operation. Pairs of particles may annihilate according to A_i + A_j ->…

Airy Distribution Function: From the Area Under a Brownian Excursion to the Maximal Height of Fluctuating Interfaces

Satya N. Majumdar, Alain Comtet

The Airy distribution function describes the probability distribution of the area under a Brownian excursion over a unit interval. Surprisingly, this function has appeared in a num…

Characterization and Modeling of weighted networks

Marc Barthelemy, Alain Barrat, Romualdo Pastor-Satorras +1

We review the main tools which allow for the statistical characterization of weighted networks. We then present two case studies, the airline connection network and the scientific…

Screening of classical Casimir forces by electrolytes in semi-infinite geometries

B. Jancovici, L. Samaj

We study the electrostatic Casimir effect and related phenomena in equilibrium statistical mechanics of classical (non-quantum) charged fluids. The prototype model consists of two…

Scattering properties of weakly bound dimers of fermionic atoms

D. S. Petrov, C. Salomon, G. V. Shlyapnikov

We consider weakly bound diatomic molecules (dimers) formed in a two-component atomic Fermi gas with a large positive scattering length for the interspecies interaction. We develop…
