We study extreme value statistics of multiple sequences of random variables. For each sequence with N variables, independently drawn from the same distribution, the running maximum is defined as the largest variable to date. We compare the running maxima of m independent sequences, and investigate the probability S_N that the maxima are perfectly ordered, that is, the running maximum of the first sequence is always larger than that of the second sequence, which is always larger than the running maximum of the third sequence, and so on. The probability S_N is universal: it does not depend on the distribution from which the random variables are drawn. For two sequences, S_N ~ N^(-1/2), and in general, the decay is algebraic, S_N ~ N^(-sigma_m), for large N. We analytically obtain the exponent sigma_3= 1.302931 as root of a transcendental equation. Furthermore, the exponents sigma_m grow with m, and we show that sigma_m ~ m for large m.

We analyze the joint distributions and temporal correlations between the partial maximum $m$ and the global maximum $M$ achieved by a Brownian Bridge on the subinterval $[0,t_1]$ and on the entire interval $[0,t]$, respectively. We determine three pr obability distribution functions: The joint distribution $P(m,M)$ of both maxima; the distribution $P(m)$ of the partial maximum; and the distribution $Pi(G)$ of the gap between the maxima, $G = M-m$. We present exact results for the moments of these distributions and quantify the temporal correlations between $m$ and $M$ by calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient.
A generically observed mechanism that drives the self-organization of living systems is interaction via chemical signals among the individual elements -- which may represent cells, bacteria, or even enzymes. Here we propose a novel mechanism for such interactions, in the context of chemotaxis, which originates from the polarity of the particles and which generalizes the well-known Keller--Segel interaction term. We study the resulting large-scale dynamical properties of a system of such chemotactic particles using the exact stochastic formulation of Dean and Kawasaki along with dynamical renormalization group analysis of the critical state of the system. At this critical point, an emergent Galilean symmetry is identified, which allows us to obtain the dynamical scaling exponents exactly; these exponents reveal superdiffusive density fluctuations and non-Poissonian number fluctuations. We expect our results to shed light on how molecular regulation of chemotactic circuits can determine large-scale behavior of cell colonies and tissues.
We study asymptotic properties of diffusion and other transport processes (including self-avoiding walks and electrical conduction) on large randomly branched polymers using renormalized dynamical field theory. We focus on the swollen phase and the c ollapse transition, where loops in the polymers are irrelevant. Here the asymptotic statistics of the polymers is that of lattice trees, and diffusion on them is reminiscent of the climbing of a monkey on a tree. We calculate a set of universal scaling exponents including the diffusion exponent and the fractal dimension of the minimal path to 2-loop order and, where available, compare them to numerical results.

Time-dependent processes are often analysed using the power spectral density (PSD), calculated by taking an appropriate Fourier transform of individual trajectories and finding the associated ensemble-average. Frequently, the available experimental d ata sets are too small for such ensemble averages, and hence it is of a great conceptual and practical importance to understand to which extent relevant information can be gained from $S(f,T)$, the PSD of a single trajectory. Here we focus on the behavior of this random, realization-dependent variable, parametrized by frequency $f$ and observation-time $T$, for a broad family of anomalous diffusions---fractional Brownian motion (fBm) with Hurst-index $H$---and derive exactly its probability density function. We show that $S(f,T)$ is proportional---up to a random numerical factor whose universal distribution we determine---to the ensemble-averaged PSD. For subdiffusion ($H<1/2$) we find that $S(f,T)sim A/f^{2H+1}$ with random-amplitude $A$. In sharp contrast, for superdiffusion $(H>1/2)$ $S(f,T)sim BT^{2H-1}/f^2$ with random amplitude $B$. Remarkably, for $H>1/2$ the PSD exhibits the same frequency-dependence as Brownian motion, a deceptive property that may lead to false conclusions when interpreting experimental data. Notably, for $H>1/2$ the PSD is ageing and is dependent on $T$. Our predictions for both sub- and superdiffusion are confirmed by experiments in live cells and in agarose hydrogels, and by extensive simulations.
We study the correlations between the maxima $m$ and $M$ of a Brownian motion (BM) on the time intervals $[0,t_1]$ and $[0,t_2]$, with $t_2>t_1$. We determine exact forms of the distribution functions $P(m,M)$ and $P(G = M - m)$, and calculate the mo ments $mathbb{E}{left(M - mright)^k}$ and the cross-moments $mathbb{E}{m^l M^k}$ with arbitrary integers $l$ and $k$. We show that correlations between $m$ and $M$ decay as $sqrt{t_1/t_2}$ when $t_2/t_1 to infty$, revealing strong memory effects in the statistics of the BM maxima. We also compute the Pearson correlation coefficient $rho(m,M)$, the power spectrum of $M_t$, and we discuss a possibility of extracting the ensemble-averaged diffusion coefficient in single-trajectory experiments using a single realization of the maximum process.
