Polymer pinning in a random medium as influence percolation
Vincent Beffara, Vladas Sidoravicius, Herbert Spohn +1
In this article we discuss a set of geometric ideas which shed some light on the question of directed polymer pinning in the presence of bulk disorder. Differing from standard meth…
Pinning of polymers and interfaces by random potentials
Kenneth S. Alexander, Vladas Sidoravicius
We consider a polymer, with monomer locations modeled by the trajectory of a Markov chain, in the presence of a potential that interacts with the polymer when it visits a particula…
A phase transition in a model for the spread of an infection
Harry Kesten, Vladas Sidoravicius
We show that a certain model for the spread of an infection has a phase transition in the recuperation rate. The model is as follows: There are particles or individuals of type A a…
A shape theorem for the spread of an infection
Harry Kesten, Vladas Sidoravicius
We consider the following interacting particle system: There is a ``gas'' of particles, each of which performs a continuous time simple random walk on the d-dimensional lattice. Th…
The spread of a rumor or infection in a moving population
Harry Kesten, Vladas Sidoravicius
We consider the following interacting particle system: There is a ``gas'' of particles, each of which performs a continuous-time simple random walk on , with jump rat…
Nonuniqueness for specifications in
Noam Berger, Christopher Hoffman, Vladas Sidoravicius
For every , we construct a regular and continuous specification (-function), which has a variation sequence that is in and which admits multiple Gibbs measures. Combi…
