Work probability distribution in systems driven out of equilibrium
A. Imparato, L. Peliti
We derive the differential equation describing the time evolution of the work probability distribution function of a stochastic system which is driven out of equilibrium by the man…
Work distribution and path integrals in general mean-field systems
A. Imparato, L. Peliti
We consider a mean-field system described by a general collective variable , driven out of equilibrium by the manipulation of a parameter . Given a general dynamics compatibl…
Work probability distribution in single molecule experiments
Alberto Imparato, Luca Peliti
We derive and solve a differential equation satisfied by the probability distribution of the work done on a single biomolecule in a mechanical unzipping experiment. The unzipping i…
Reply to Comment on "Why is the DNA Transition First Order?" and "Griffiths Singularities in Unbinding of Strongly Disordered Polymers" by M. Ya. Azbel
Y. Kafri, D. Mukamel, L. Peliti
It is shown that the various claims made in the comment by M. Ya. Azbel (physics/0403106) on the two publications Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 055502 (2003) and Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 4988 (…
Introduction to the statistical theory of Darwinian evolution
Luca Peliti
These lectures contain a brief description of evolutionary models inspired by the statistical mechanics of disordered systems. After an introduction describing the Darwinian paradi…
Aging in a simple model of a structural glass
Luca Peliti, Mauro Sellitto
We consider a simple model of a structural glass, represented by a lattice gas with kinetic constraints in contact with a particle reservoir. Quench below the glass transition is r…
