A monotonicity result for hard-core and Widom-Rowlinson models on certain -dimensional lattices.
A stochastic phase-field model determined from molecular dynamics
The dynamics of dendritic growth of a crystal in an undercooled melt is determined by macroscopic diffusion-convection of heat and by capillary forces acting on the nanometer scale of the solid-liquid interface width. Its modelling is useful for instance in processing techniques based on casting. The phase-field method is widely used to study evolution of such microstructural phase transformations on a continuum level; it couples the energy equation to a phenomenological Allen-Cahn/Ginzburg-Landau equation...
Asymptotic Feynman–Kac formulae for large symmetrised systems of random walks
We study large deviations principles for N random processes on the lattice ℤd with finite time horizon [0, β] under a symmetrised measure where all initial and terminal points are uniformly averaged over random permutations. That is, given a permutation σ of N elements and a vector (x1, …, xN) of N initial points we let the random processes terminate in the points (xσ(1), …, xσ(N)) and then sum over all possible permutations and initial points, weighted with an initial distribution. We prove level-two...
