The Non-equilibrium Behavior of Fluctuation Induced Forces
David S. Dean, Ajay Gopinathan
While techniques to compute thermal fluctuation induced, or pseudo-Casimir, forces in equilibrium systems are well established, the same is not true for non-equilibrium cases. We p…
Thermal Casimir effect with soft boundary conditions
David S. Dean
We consider the thermal Casimir effect in systems of parallel plates coupled to a mass-less free field theory via quadratic interaction terms which suppress (i) the field on the pl…
Self Similar Renormalization Group Applied to Diffusion in non-Gaussian Potentials
David S. Dean, Clement Touya
We study the problem of the computation of the effective diffusion constant of a Brownian particle diffusing in a random potential which is given by a function of a Gaussian…
Path integrals for stiff polymers applied to membrane physics
D. S. Dean, R. R. Horgan
Path integrals similar to those describing stiff polymers arise in the Helfrich model for membranes. We show how these types of path integrals can be evaluated and apply our result…
