Stretched-exponential relaxation in weakly-confined Brownian systems through large deviation theory
Lucianno Defaveri, Eli Barkai, David A. Kessler
Stretched-exponential relaxation is a widely observed phenomenon found in ordered ferromagnets as well as glassy systems. One modeling approach connects this behavior to a droplet…
Non-normalizable quasi-equilibrium states under fractional dynamics
Lucianno Defaveri, Maike A. F. dos Santos, David A. Kessler +2
We study non-normalizable quasi-equilibrium states (NNQE) arising from anomalous diffusion. Initially, particles in contact with a thermal bath are released from an asymptotically…
Brownian particles in periodic potentials: coarse-graining versus fine structure
Lucianno Defaveri, Eli Barkai, David A. Kessler
We study the motion of an overdamped particle connected to a thermal heat bath in the presence of an external periodic potential in one dimension. When we coarse-grain, i.e., bin t…
Discrete Sampling of Extreme Events Modifies Their Statistics
Lior Zarfaty, Eli Barkai, David A. Kessler
Extreme value (EV) statistics of correlated systems are widely investigated in many fields, spanning the spectrum from weather forecasting to earthquake prediction. Does the unavoi…
Discrete sampling of correlated random variables modifies the long-time behavior of their extreme value statistics
Lior Zarfaty, Eli Barkai, David A. Kessler
We consider the extreme value statistics of correlated random variables that arise from a Langevin equation. Recently, it was shown that the extreme values of the Ornstein-Uhlenbec…
Anomalous statistics of laser-cooled atoms in dissipative optical lattices
Gadi Afek, Nir Davidson, David A. Kessler +1
Diffusion occurs in numerous physical systems throughout nature, drawing its generality from the universality of the central limit theorem. Around a century ago it was realized tha…
