Kink-kink correlations in nonlinear quenches across a quantum critical point

Lakshita Jindal, Kavita Jain

When a quantum system exhibiting a second order phase transition is quenched across the critical point in large but finite time, the dynamics are not adiabatic in the critical regi…

Dynamics of fixation probability in a population with fluctuating size

Kavita Jain, Hitesh Sumuni

In many biological processes, the size of a population changes stochastically with time, and recent work in the context of cancer and bacterial growth have focused on the situation…

Current fluctuations in the symmetric zero-range process below and at critical density

Tanmoy Chakraborty, Punyabrata Pradhan, Kavita Jain

Characterizing current fluctuations in a steady state is of fundamental interest and has attracted considerable attention in the recent past. However, the bulk of the studies are l…

Run-and-tumble particle with saturating rates

Kavita Jain, Sakuntala Chatterjee

We consider a run-and-tumble particle whose speed and tumbling rate are space-dependent on an infinite line. Unlike most of the previous work on such models, here we make the physi…

Kibble-Zurek scalings and coarsening laws in slowly quenched classical Ising chains

Lakshita Jindal, Kavita Jain

We consider a one-dimensional classical ferromagnetic Ising model when it is quenched from a low temperature to zero temperature in finite time using Glauber or Kawasaki dynamics.…

Number of adaptive steps to a local fitness peak

Kavita Jain

We consider a population of genotype sequences evolving on a rugged fitness landscape with many local fitness peaks. The population walks uphill until it encounters a local fitness…
