The extraordinary importance of self-avoiding behavior in two-dimensional polymers: Insights from large-deviation theory
Eleftherios Mainas, Jan Tobochnik, Richard Stratt
Some recent work pointed out the usefulness of taking a large-deviation perspective when trying to extract anything resembling a macroscopic order parameter from a computer simulat…

Exceptionally Large Fluctuations in Orientational Order: The Lessons of Large-Deviation Theory for Liquid Crystalline Systems
Eleftherios Mainas, Richard M. Stratt
How condensed-matter simulations depend on the number of molecules being simulated () is sometimes itself a valuable piece of information. Liquid crystals provide a case in poin…
