We discuss a general approach to understand phase separation and metastability in stochastic particle systems that exhibit a condensation transition. Condensation occurs when, above some critical dens...
We consider the Kawasaki dynamics at inverse temperature beta for the Ising lattice gas on a two-dimensional square of length 2L+1 with periodic boundary conditions. We assume that initially the parti...
In the last decades the problem of metastability has been attacked on rigorous grounds via many different approaches and techniques which are briefly reviewed in this paper. It is then useful to under...
The definition of vectors of dependent random probability measures is a topic of interest in applications to Bayesian statistics. Indeed, they can be used for identifying the de Finetti mixing measure...
The study of non-equilibrium systems has led to several mathematically rigorous and general results on the statistics of entropy production in non-equilibrium systems. These results are generally know...
Studies of non-equilibrium fluctuations have held a center stage during the past few decades of the development of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Indeed, macroscopic fluctuations are supposed ...
Abstract: A beam of light is characterized by the following local properties: intensity, phase, and polarization. In most practical cases, these optical properties are either uniform or varying in spa...
Abstract: The unique electronic properties of graphene have attracted a huge amount of attention since its discovery in 2004. The structural properties of such a two-dimensional lattice are less known...
Abstract: Graphene, a carbon layer packed in a 2D honeycomb lattice, has been discussed theoretically in the 1940s, tough it took sixty years to be experimentally isolate...
