We investigate the behaviour of a finite chain of Brownian particles, interacting through a pairwise linear force, with one end of the chain fixed and the other end pulled away at slow speed, in the limit of slow speed and small Brownian noise.
We study the instant when the chain ''breaks'', that is, the distance between two neighbouring particles becomes larger than a certain threshold. There are three different regimes depending on the relation between the speed of pulling and the Brownian noise. We provide weak limit theorems for the break time and the break position for each regime.
This is a joint work with F.Aurzada and V.Betz from Darmstadt TU, Germany.

IAS / School of Science Joint Lecture - Pushing the Limit of Nonlinear Vibrational Spectroscopy for Molecular Surfaces/Interfaces Studies
Abstract
Surfaces and interfaces are ubiquitous in Nature. Sum-frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy (SFG-VS) is a powerful surface/interface selective and sub-monolayer sensitive spect...

IAS / School of Science Joint Lecture - Leveraging Protein Dynamics Memory with Machine Learning to Advance Drug Design: From Antibiotics to Targeted Protein Degradation
Abstract
Protein dynamics are fundamental to protein function and encode complex biomolecular mechanisms. Although Markov state models have made it possible to capture long-timescale protein co...
