Stefan Mashkevich 1, 2 Stéphane Ouvry 3 Alexios Polychronakos 4 Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, IOP Publishing, 2015, 48, pp.405001 We focus on the algebraic area probability distribution of planar random walks on a square lattice with $m_1$, $m_2$, $l_1$ and $l_2$ steps right, left, up and down. We aim, in particular, at […]

Claude Godreche 1 Satya N. Majumdar 2 Gregory Schehr 2 Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, IOP Science, 2015, pp.P03014 We consider renewal processes where events, which can for instance be the zero crossings of a stochastic process, occur at random epochs of time. The intervals of time between events, $\tau_{1},\tau_{2},…$, are independent and

Areejit Samal 1, 2, 3 Olivier C. Martin 4 Physical Review Letters, American Physical Society, 2015, 114, pp.238101 Analytic and computational methods developed within statistical physics have found applications in numerous disciplines. In this letter, we use such methods to solve a long-standing problem in statistical genetics. The problem, posed by Haldane and Waddington [J.B.S.

Stephane Ouvry 1 Markov Processes and Related Fields, Polymath, 2015, 21, pp.779 I describe the occurence of Eulerian numbers and Stirling numbers of the second kind in the combinatorics of the Statistical Curse of the Second Half Rank problem. 1.

Shlyapnikov 4, 5, 3, 6 Physical Review Letters, American Physical Society, 2015, 115, pp.075303 We consider two-dimensional bosonic dipoles oriented perpendicularly to the plane. On top of the usual two-body contact and long-range dipolar interactions we add a contact three-body repulsion as expected,

Kabir Ramola 1 Satya N. Majumdar 1 Gregory Schehr 1 Physical Review E : Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics, American Physical Society, 2015, 91, pp.042131 We study the one dimensional branching Brownian motion starting at the origin and investigate the correlation between the rightmost ($X_{\max}\geq 0$) and leftmost ($X_{\min} \leq 0$) visited sites up

Gabriel Tellez 1 Emmanuel Trizac 2 Physical Review E : Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics, American Physical Society, 2015, 92, pp.042134 The possibility that like-charges can attract each other under the mediation of mobile counterions is by now well documented experimentally, numerically, and analytically. Yet, obtaining exact results is in general impossible, or restricted

G. Bimonte 1 T. Emig 2, 3 M. Kardar 4 Physics Letters B, Elsevier, 2015, 743, pp.138 The exact critical Casimir force between periodically deformed boundaries of a 2D semi-infinite strip is obtained for conformally invariant classical systems. Only two parameters (conformal charge and scaling dimension of a boundary changing operator), along withthe solution of
