We present exact derivations of the effective capillary wave fluctuation induced forces resulting from pinning of an interface between two coexisting phases at two points separated by a distance r. In two dimensions the Ising ferromagnet calculations based on the transfer matrix approach give an attractive force decaying as 1/r for large distances. In three dimensions mapping of the body-centered solid-on-solid model onto the 6-vertex model allows for exact solution using the bosonization analysis of the equivalent XXZ Heisenberg quantum chain. The exact result gives the attractive force which decays asymptotically as 1/(rlog r).

We extend recent results on the exact hydrodynamics of a system of diffusive active particles displaying a motility-induced phase separation to account for typical fluctuations of the dynamical fields. By calculating correlation functions exactly in
the homogeneous phase, we find that two macroscopic length scales develop in the system. The first is related to the diffusive length of the particles and the other to the collective behavior of the particles. The latter diverges as the critical point is approached. Our results show that the critical behavior of the model in one dimension belongs to the universality class of a mean-field Ising model, both for static and dynamic properties, when the thermodynamic limit is taken in a specified manner. The results are compared to the critical behavior exhibited by the ABC model. In particular, we find that in contrast to the ABC model the density large deviation function, at its Gaussian approximation, does not contain algebraically decaying interactions but is of a finite, macroscopic, extent which is dictated by the diverging correlation length.
A polymer chain pinned in space exerts a fluctuating force on the pin point in thermal equilibrium. The average of such fluctuating force is well understood from statistical mechanics as an entropic force, but little is known about the underlying for
ce distribution. Here, we introduce two phase space sampling methods that can produce the equilibrium distribution of instantaneous forces exerted by a terminally pinned polymer. In these methods, both the positions and momenta of mass points representing a freely jointed chain are perturbed in accordance with the spatial constraints and the Boltzmann distribution of total energy. The constraint force for each conformation and momentum is calculated using Lagrangian dynamics. Using terminally pinned chains in space and on a surface, we show that the force distribution is highly asymmetric with both tensile and compressive forces. Most importantly, the mean of the distribution, which is equal to the entropic force, is not the most probable force even for long chains. Our work provides insights into the mechanistic origin of entropic forces, and an efficient computational tool for unbiased sampling of the phase space of a constrained system.
We present an analytical formalism, supported by numerical simulations, for studying forces that act on curved walls following temperature quenches of the surrounding ideal Brownian fluid. We show that, for curved surfaces, the post-quench forces ini
tially evolve rapidly to an extremal value, whereafter they approach their steady state value algebraically in time. In contrast to the previously-studied case of flat boundaries (lines or planes), the algebraic decay for the curved geometries depends on the dimension of the system. Specifically, the steady-state values of the force are approached in time as $t^{-d/2}$ in d-dimensional spherical (curved) geometries. For systems consisting of concentric circles or spheres, the exponent does not change for the force on the outer circle or sphere. However, the force exerted on the inner circle or sphere experiences an overshoot and, as a result, does not evolve towards the steady state in a simple algebraic manner. The extremal value of the force also depends on the dimension of the system, and originates from the curved boundaries and the fact that particles inside a sphere or circle are locally more confined, and diffuse less freely than particles outside the circle or sphere.
Effective Casimir forces induced by thermal fluctuations in the vicinity of bulk critical points are studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations in three-dimensional systems for film geometries and within the experimentally relevant Ising and XY univ
ersality classes. Several surface universality classes of the confining surfaces are considered, some of which are relevant for recent experiments. A novel approach introduced previously EPL 80, 60009 (2007), based inter alia on an integration scheme of free energy differences, is utilized to compute the universal scaling functions of the critical Casimir forces in the critical range of temperatures above and below the bulk critical temperature. The resulting predictions are compared with corresponding experimental data for wetting films of fluids and with available theoretical results.
We present some exact results on bond percolation. We derive a relation that specifies the consequences for bond percolation quantities of replacing each bond of a lattice $Lambda$ by $ell$ bonds connecting the same adjacent vertices, thereby yieldin
g the lattice $Lambda_ell$. This relation is used to calculate the bond percolation threshold on $Lambda_ell$. We show that this bond inflation leaves the universality class of the percolation transition invariant on a lattice of dimensionality $d ge 2$ but changes it on a one-dimensional lattice and quasi-one-dimensional infinite-length strips. We also present analytic expressions for the average cluster number per vertex and correlation length for the bond percolation problem on the $N to infty$ limits of several families of $N$-vertex graphs. Finally, we explore the effect of bond vacancies on families of graphs with the property of bounded diameter as $N to infty$.
