Effective hyperuniformity in time-integrated stochastic Turing patterns

Anirban Mukherjee, Hong-Yan Shih

Demographic noise generates stochastic Turing patterns even when reaction-diffusion systems are deterministically stable. We show analytically and verify numerically in the Levin-S…

Diffusion disorder in the contact process

Valentin Anfray, Manisha Dhayal, Hong-Yan Shih +1

We study the effects of spatially inhomogeneous diffusion on the non-equilibrium phase transition in the contact process. The directed-percolation critical point in the contact pro…

Diffusive Epidemic Process with quenched disorder

Valentin Anfray, Hong-Yan Shih

Epidemic spreading often occurs in spatially heterogeneous environments, yet how quenched heterogeneity reshapes its onset and critical dynamics remains poorly understood. The diff…

Conformations, Dynamics, and Looping Kinetics of Partially Active Polymers

Koushik Goswami, Norman Hsia, Cheng-Hung Chang +1

We investigate the conformational and dynamical properties of a partially active Rouse chain, where activity is localized within a specific segment, positioned at various locations…

Mechanisms of rapid evolution

Hong-Yan Shih, Nigel Goldenfeld

The purpose of this roadmap article is to draw attention to a paradigm shift in our understanding of evolution towards a perspective of ecological-evolutionary feedback, highlighte…

Biophysical constraints determine the selection of phenotypic fluctuations during directed evolution

Hong-Yan Shih, Harry Mickalide, David T. Fraebel +2

Phenotypes of individuals in a population of organisms are not fixed. Phenotypic fluctuations, which describe temporal variation of the phenotype of an individual or individual-to-…

Turbulence as a problem in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics

Nigel Goldenfeld, Hong-Yan Shih

The transitional and well-developed regimes of turbulent shear flows exhibit a variety of remarkable scaling laws that are only now beginning to be systematically studied and under…

Ecological collapse and the emergence of traveling waves at the onset of shear turbulence

Hong-Yan Shih, Tsung-Lin Hsieh, Nigel Goldenfeld

The transition to turbulence exhibits remarkable spatio-temporal behavior that continues to defy detailed understanding. Near the onset to turbulence in pipes, transient turbulent…

Path integral calculation for emergence of rapid evolution from demographic stochasticity

Hong-Yan Shih, Nigel Goldenfeld

Genetic variation in a population can sometimes arise so fast as to modify ecosystem dynamics. Such phenomena have been observed in natural predator-prey systems, and characterized…

Anomalous isotope effect in phonon-dressed iron-based superconductor

Wen-Min Huang, Hong-Yan Shih, Fa Wang +1

The role of electron-phonon interactions in iron-based superconductor is currently under debate with conflicting experimental reports on the isotope effect. To address this importa…

Hierarchy of relevant couplings in perturbative renormalization group transformations

Hong-Yan Shih, Wen-Min Huang, Sze-Bi Hsu +1

The phase diagram for the interacting fermions in weak coupling is described by the perturbative renormalization group equations. Due to the lack of analytic solutions for these co…
