It has experimentally been found by Lampo et al. [Biophys. J. 112, 532 (2017)] that, for two different types of cell, the distribution of the diffusivities of RNA-protein particles over cytoplasm obeys an exponential law. Then, an interesting issue has been pointed out: this exponential distribution is the maximal entropy distribution. Here, time evolution of entropy associated with local fluctuations of the diffusivity is studied. The entropy rate under the diffusing diffusivity equation, which admits the exponential fluctuation as its stationary solution, is shown to be positive. The present result is expected to be useful for studying the dynamics of diffusivity fluctuations. Furthermore, the distribution of time being required for characteristic displacement of the RNA-protein particle is found to decay as a power law. A comment is also made on a formal analogy with the thermodynamic relation concerning temperature.

A theoretical framework is developed for the phenomenon of non-Gaussian normal diffusion that has experimentally been observed in several heterogeneous systems. From the Fokker-Planck equation with the dynamical structure with largely separated time scales, a set of three equations are derived for the fast degree of freedom, the slow degree of freedom and the coupling between these two hierarchies. It is shown that this approach consistently describes diffusing diffusivity and non-Gaussian normal diffusion.
It has been known for decades that thermal conductivity of insulating crystals becomes proportional to the inverse of temperature when the latter is comparable to or higher than the Debye temperature. This behavior has been understood as resulting fr om Umklapp scattering among phonons. We put under scrutiny the magnitude of the thermal diffusion constant in this regime and find that it does not fall below a threshold set by the square of sound velocity times the Planckian time ($tau_p=hbar/k_BT$). The conclusion, based on scrutinizing the ratio in cubic crystals with high thermal resistivity, appears to hold even in glasses where Umklapp events are not conceivable. Explaining this boundary, reminiscent of a recently-noticed limit for charge transport in metals, is a challenge to theory.
We consider one component lattice gases with a local dynamics and a stationary product Bernoulli measure. We give upper and lower bounds on the diffusivity at an equilibrium point depending on the dimension and the local behavior of the macroscopic f lux function. We show that if the model is expected to be diffusive, it is indeed diffusive, and, if it is expected to be superdiffusive, it is indeed superdiffusive.
We study the extremal properties of a stochastic process $x_t$ defined by a Langevin equation $dot{x}_t=sqrt{2 D_0 V(B_t)},xi_t$, where $xi_t$ is a Gaussian white noise with zero mean, $D_0$ is a constant scale factor, and $V(B_t)$ is a stochastic di ffusivity (noise strength), which itself is a functional of independent Brownian motion $B_t$. We derive exact, compact expressions for the probability density functions (PDFs) of the first passage time (FPT) $t$ from a fixed location $x_0$ to the origin for three different realisations of the stochastic diffusivity: a cut-off case $V(B_t) =Theta(B_t)$ (Model I), where $Theta(x)$ is the Heaviside theta function; a Geometric Brownian Motion $V(B_t)=exp(B_t)$ (Model II); and a case with $V(B_t)=B_t^2$ (Model III). We realise that, rather surprisingly, the FPT PDF has exactly the Levy-Smirnov form (specific for standard Brownian motion) for Model II, which concurrently exhibits a strongly anomalous diffusion. For Models I and III either the left or right tails (or both) have a different functional dependence on time as compared to the Levy-Smirnov density. In all cases, the PDFs are broad such that already the first moment does not exist. Similar results are obtained in three dimensions for the FPT PDF to an absorbing spherical target.
Natural and social multivariate systems are commonly studied through sets of simultaneous and time-spaced measurements of the observables that drive their dynamics, i.e., through sets of time series. Typically, this is done via hypothesis testing: th e statistical properties of the empirical time series are tested against those expected under a suitable null hypothesis. This is a very challenging task in complex interacting systems, where statistical stability is often poor due to lack of stationarity and ergodicity. Here, we describe an unsupervised, data-driven framework to perform hypothesis testing in such situations. This consists of a statistical mechanical approach - analogous to the configuration model for networked systems - for ensembles of time series designed to preserve, on average, some of the statistical properties observed on an empirical set of time series. We showcase its possible applications with a case study on financial portfolio selection.
