In this work we consider a stochastic movement process with random resets to the origin followed by a random residence time there before the walker restarts its motion. First, we study the transport properties of the walker, we derive an expression for the mean square displacement of the overall process and study its dependence with the statistical properties of the resets, the residence and the movement. From this general formula, we see that the inclusion of the residence after the resets is able to induce super-diffusive to sub-diffusive (or diffusive) regimes and it can also make a sub-diffusive walker reach a constant MSD or even collapse. Second, we study how the reset-and-residence mechanism affects the first arrival time of different search processes to a given position, showing that the long time behavior of the reset and residence time distributions determine the existence of the mean first arrival time.

Stochastic resets have lately emerged as a mechanism able to generate finite equilibrium mean square displacement (MSD) when they are applied to diffusive motion. Furthermore, walkers with an infinite mean first arrival time (MFAT) to a given positio n $x$, may reach it in a finite time when they reset their position. In this work we study these emerging phenomena from a unified perspective. On one hand we study the existence of a finite equilibrium MSD when resets are applied to random motion with $langle x^2(t)rangle _msim t^p$ for $0<pleq2$. For exponentially distributed reset times, a compact formula is derived for the equilibrium MSD of the overall process in terms of the mean reset time and the motion MSD. On the other hand, we also test the robustness of the finiteness of the MFAT for different motion dynamics which are subject to stochastic resets. Finally, we study a biased Brownian oscillator with resets with the general formulas derived in this work, finding its equilibrium first moment and MSD, and its MFAT to the minimum of the harmonic potential.
We study the spectral properties of classical and quantum Markovian processes that are reset at random times to a specific configuration or state with a reset rate that is independent of the current state of the system. We demonstrate that this simpl e reset dynamics causes a uniform shift in the eigenvalues of the Markov generator, excluding the zero mode corresponding to the stationary state, which has the effect of accelerating or even inducing relaxation to a stationary state. Based on this result, we provide expressions for the stationary state and probability current of the reset process in terms of weighted sums over dynamical modes of the reset-free process. We also discuss the effect of resets on processes that display metastability. We illustrate our results with two classical stochastic processes, the totally asymmetric random walk and the one-dimensional Brownian motion, as well as two quantum models: a particle coherently hopping on a chain and the dissipative transverse field Ising model, known to exhibit metastability.
A hot Markovian system can cool down faster than a colder one: this is known as the Mpemba effect. Here, we show that a non-equilibrium driving via stochastic reset can induce this phenomenon, when absent. Moreover, we derive an optimal driving proto col simultaneously optimizing the appearance time of the Mpemba effect, and the total energy dissipation into the environment, revealing the existence of a Pareto front. Building upon previous experimental results, our findings open up the avenue of possible experimental realizations of optimal cooling protocols in Markovian systems.
We present a unified approach to those observables of stochastic processes under reset that take the form of averages of functionals depending on the most recent renewal period. We derive solutions for the observables, and determine the conditions fo r existence and equality of their stationary values with and without reset. For intermittent reset times, we derive exact asymptotic expressions for observables that vary asymptotically as a power of time. We illustrate the general approach with general and particular results for the power spectral density, and moments of subdiffusive processes. We focus on coupling of the process and reset via a diffusion-decay process with microscopic dependence between transport and decay. In contrast to the uncoupled case, we find that restarting the particle upon decay does not produce a probability current equal to the decay rate, but instead drastically alters the time dependence of the decay rate and the resulting current.

We extend the work of Tanase-Nicola and Kurchan on the structure of diffusion processes and the associated supersymmetry algebra by examining the responses of a simple statistical system to external disturbances of various kinds. We consider both the stochastic differential equations (SDEs) for the process and the associated diffusion equation. The influence of the disturbances can be understood by augmenting the original SDE with an equation for {it slave variables}. The evolution of the slave variables describes the behaviour of line elements carried along in the stochastic flow. These line elements together with the associated surface and volume elements constructed from them provide the basis of the supersymmetry properties of the theory. For ease of visualisation, and in order to emphasise a helpful electromagnetic analogy, we work in three dimensions. The results are all generalisable to higher dimensions and can be specialised to one and two dimensions. The electromagnetic analogy is a useful starting point for calculating asymptotic results at low temperature that can be compared with direct numerical evaluations. We also examine the problems that arise in a direct numerical simulation of the stochastic equation together with the slave equations. We pay special attention to the dependence of the slave variable statistics on temperature. We identify in specific models the critical temperature below which the slave variable distribution ceases to have a variance and consider the effect on estimates of susceptibilities.
