Jamming transition in an active exclusion process

Kavita Jain, Sakuntala Chatterjee

Multiple studies on active matter have shown that activity can induce or suppress a phase transition, or modify the critical behavior of a passive system. Here we investigate how a…

When can fitness epistasis be ignored in a polygenic trait at equilibrium?

Archana Devi, Kavita Jain

Although many phenotypic traits are determined by a large number of genetic variants, the behavior of allele frequencies in a polygenic trait is not completely understood. The prob…

Slow quench dynamics in classical systems: kinetic Ising model and zero-range process

Priyanka, Sayani Chatterjee, Kavita Jain

While a large number of studies have focused on the nonequilibrium dynamics of a system when it is quenched instantaneously from a disordered phase to an ordered phase, such dynami…

Evolutionary dynamics and eigenspectrum of confluent Heun equation

Kavita Jain, Archana Devi

We consider a biological population evolving under the joint action of selection, mutation and random genetic drift. The evolutionary dynamics are described by a one-dimensional Fo…

Interference effects of deleterious and beneficial mutations in large asexual populations

Kavita Jain

Linked beneficial and deleterious mutations are known to decrease the fixation probability of a favorable mutation in large asexual populations. While the hindering effect of stron…

Modes of rapid polygenic adaptation

Kavita Jain, Wolfgang Stephan

Many experimental and field studies have shown that adaptation can occur very rapidly. Two qualitatively different modes of fast adaptation have been proposed: selective sweeps whe…
