Equilibrium fluctuations for a one-dimensional interface in the solid on solid approximation.
A kinetic collision operator of Landau type for Fermi-Dirac particles is considered. Equilibrium states are rigorously determined under minimal assumptions on the distribution function of the particles. The particular structure of the considered operator (strong non-linearity and degeneracy) requires a special investigation compared to the classical Boltzmann or Landau operator.
We answer some questions raised by Gantert, Löwe and Steif (Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré Probab. Stat.41(2005) 767–780) concerning “signed” voter models on locally finite graphs. These are voter model like processes with the difference that the edges are considered to be either positive or negative. If an edge between a site and a site is negative (respectively positive) the site will contribute towards the flip rate of if and only if the two current spin values are equal (respectively opposed)....
We prove quenched hydrodynamic limit under hyperbolic time scaling for bounded attractive particle systems on in random ergodic environment. Our result is a strong law of large numbers, that we illustrate with various examples.
We study excited random walks in i.i.d. random cookie environments in high dimensions, where the th cookie at a site determines the transition probabilities (to the left and right) for the th departure from that site. We show that in high dimensions, when the expected right drift of the first cookie is sufficiently large, the velocity is strictly positive, regardless of the strengths and signs of subsequent cookies. Under additional conditions on the cookie environment, we show that the limiting...
