Persistence and first-passage properties in nonequilibrium systems

AJ Bray, SN Majumdar, G Schehr - Advances in Physics, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
In this review, we discuss the persistence and the related first-passage properties in
extended many-body nonequilibrium systems. Starting with simple systems with one or few …

Universal patterns of stem cell fate in cycling adult tissues

AM Klein, BD Simons - Development, 2011 - journals.biologists.com
In cycling tissues that exhibit high turnover, tissue maintenance and repair are coordinated
by stem cells. But, how frequently stem cells are replaced following differentiation, aging or …

Does a single zealot affect an infinite group of voters?

M Mobilia - Physical review letters, 2003 - APS
A method for studying the exact properties of a class of inhomogeneous stochastic many-
body systems is developed and presented in the framework of a voter model perturbed by …

Statistics of the occupation time of renewal processes

C Godreche, JM Luck - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2001 - Springer
We present a systematic study of the statistics of the occupation time and related random
variables for stochastic processes with independent intervals of time. According to the nature …

Critical coarsening without surface tension: The universality class of the voter model

I Dornic, H Chaté, J Chave, H Hinrichsen - Physical Review Letters, 2001 - APS
We show that the two-dimensional voter model, usually considered to be only a marginal
coarsening system, represents a broad class of models for which phase ordering takes …

Applications of field-theoretic renormalization group methods to reaction–diffusion problems

UC Täuber, M Howard… - Journal of Physics A …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the application of field-theoretic renormalization group (RG) methods to the study
of fluctuations in reaction–diffusion problems. We first investigate the physical origin of …
