Spectroscopic classification of non-ergodic populations
Nicolas Underwood, Fabien Paillusson
Non-ergodicity impacts statistical inference in a diverse range of disciplines inside and outside of physics. However the concept of ergodicity is used inconsistently, and may refe…
One and two sample Dvoretzky-Kiefer-Wolfowitz-Massart type inequalities for differing underlying distributions
Nicolas G. Underwood, Fabien Paillusson
Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) tests rely on the convergence to zero of the KS-distance in the one sample case, and of in the two sample case. In each case the ass…
A fuzzy take on the logical issues of statistical hypothesis testing
Matthew Booth, Fabien Paillusson
Statistical Hypothesis Testing (SHT) is a class of inference methods whereby one makes use of empirical data to test a hypothesis and often emit a judgment about whether to reject…
Physics and science: the art of taking a stance about undecidable questions
Fabien Paillusson, Matthew Booth
In the past century many fundamental results on unpredictability, undecidability and uncertainty have compelled scientists to grapple with the idea that some questions may never be…
Multicomponent Flow on Curved Surfaces: A Vielbein Lattice Boltzmann Approach
Victor E. Ambruş, Sergiu Busuioc, Alexander J. Wagner +2
We develop and implement a novel lattice Boltzmann scheme to study multicomponent flows on curved surfaces, coupling the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations with the Cahn-Hillia…
Dielectric response of the water hydration shell of an ion: a field theory approach
Hélène Berthoumieux, Fabien Paillusson
The goal of this work is to propose a simple continuous model that captures the dielectric properties of water at the nanometric scale. We write an electrostatic energy as a functi…
On The Critical Casimir Interaction Between Anisotropic Inclusions On A Membrane
Jorge Benet, Fabien Paillusson, Halim Kusumaatmaja
Using a lattice model and a versatile thermodynamic integration scheme, we study the critical Casimir interactions between inclusions embedded in a two-dimensional critical binary…
Phase Separation on Bicontinuous Cubic Membranes: Symmetry Breaking, Re-entrant and Domain Facetting
Fabien Paillusson, Matthew R. Pennington, Halim Kusumaatmaja
We study the phase separation of binary lipid mixtures that form bicontinuous cubic phases. The competition between non-uniform Gaussian membrane curvature and line tension leads t…
Devising a protocol-related statistical mechanics framework for granular materials
Fabien Paillusson
Devising a statistical mechanics framework for jammed granular materials is a challenging task as those systems do not share some important properties required to characterize them…
On the role of composition entropies in the statistical mechanics of polydisperse systems
Fabien Paillusson, Ignacio Pagonabarraga
Polydisperse systems are commonly encountered when dealing with soft matter in general or any non simple fluid. Yet their treatment within the framework of statistical thermodynami…
Numerical calculation of granular entropy
Daniel Asenjo, Fabien Paillusson, Daan Frenkel
We present numerical simulations that allow us to compute the number of ways in which particles can pack into a given volume . Our technique modifies the method of Xu et al.…
Physics of counterion mediated attractions between double-stranded DNAs
Fabien Paillusson
Attraction between two indentical objects uniformly charged in solution seems intuitively surprising on the one hand because we know that such objects do repel in vacuum and on ano…
Protein-DNA electrostatics: toward a new paradigm for protein sliding
Maria Barbi, Fabien Paillusson
Gene expression and regulation rely on an apparently finely tuned set of reactions between some proteins and DNA. Such DNA-binding proteins have to find specific sequences on very…
Probing ergodicity in granular matter
Fabien Paillusson, Daan Frenkel
When a granular system is tapped, its volume changes. Here, using a well-defined macroscopic protocol, we prepare an ensemble of granular systems and track the statistics of volume…
Interaction regimes for oppositely charged plates with multivalent counterions
Fabien Paillusson, Emmanuel Trizac
Within a mean field treatment of the interaction between two oppositely charged plates in a salt free solution, the distance at which a transition from an attractive to a repulsive…
Non-specific DNA-protein interaction: Why proteins can diffuse along DNA
Vincent Dahirel, Fabien Paillusson, Marie Jardat +2
The structure of DNA Binding Proteins enables a strong interaction with their specific target site on DNA. However, recent single molecule experiment reported that proteins can dif…
Poisson-Boltzmann for oppositely charged bodies: an explicit derivation
Fabien Paillusson, Maria Barbi, Jean-Marc Victor
The interaction between charged bodies in an ionic solution is a general problem in colloid physics and becomes a central topic in the study of biological systems where the electro…
