Phase Transition in multicomponent systems.
Using probabilistic tools, this work states a pointwise convergence of function solutions of the 2-dimensional Boltzmann equation to the function solution of the Landau equation for Maxwellian molecules when the collisions become grazing. To this aim, we use the results of Fournier (2000) on the Malliavin calculus for the Boltzmann equation. Moreover, using the particle system introduced by Guérin and Méléard (2003), some simulations of the solution of the Landau equation will be given. This result...

We present recent results on positive energy representations of quantum spin models.
We consider the parabolic Anderson model, the Cauchy problem for the heat equation with random potential in ℤd. We use i.i.d. potentials ξ:ℤd→ℝ in the third universality class, namely the class of almost bounded potentials, in the classification of van der Hofstad, König and Mörters [Commun. Math. Phys.267 (2006) 307–353]. This class consists of potentials whose logarithmic moment generating function is regularly varying with parameter γ=1, but do not belong to the class of so-called double-exponentially...
Motivated by the development of efficient Monte Carlo methods for PDE models in molecular dynamics, we establish a new probabilistic interpretation of a family of divergence form operators with discontinuous coefficients at the interface of two open subsets of . This family of operators includes the case of the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation used to compute the electrostatic free energy of a molecule. More precisely, we explicitly construct a Markov process whose infinitesimal generator...
We establish circumstances under which the dispersion of passive contaminants in a forced flow can be consistently interpreted as a Markovian diffusion process.
We consider a bounded step size random walk in an ergodic random environment with some ellipticity, on an integer lattice of arbitrary dimension. We prove a level 3 large deviation principle, under almost every environment, with rate function related to a relative entropy.
We consider a stochastic system of particles, usually called vortices in that setting, approximating the 2D Navier-Stokes equation written in vorticity. Assuming that the initial distribution of the position and circulation of the vortices has finite (partial) entropy and a finite moment of positive order, we show that the empirical measure of the particle system converges in law to the unique (under suitable a priori estimates) solution of the 2D Navier-Stokes equation. We actually prove a slightly...
