We consider the stirring process in the interval $\Lambda_N:=[-N,N]$ of $\mathbb Z$ with  births and deaths taking place in the intervals $I_+:=(N-K,N]$, and respectively $I_-:=[-N,-N+K)$, $1 \le K <N$. We prove bounds on the truncated moments uniform in $N$ which…

We derive the following property of the "true self-repelling motion", a continuous real-valued self-interacting process $(X_t, t \ge 0)$ introduced by Balint Toth and Wendelin Werner. Conditionally on its occupation time measure at time one (which is the information about…

We consider exclusion process with degenerate rates  in a finite torus with size $n$. This model is a simplified model for some peculiar phenomena of the "glassy" dynamics. We prove that the spectral gap is bounded below by $C\rho^4/n^2$, where $\rho =…
