Depinning asymptotics in ergodic media
Resumo: We study speeds of fronts in bistable, spatially inhomogeneous media at parameter regimes where speeds approach zero. We provide a set of conceptual assumptions under which we can prove power-law asymptotics for the speed, with exponent depending a local dimension of the ergodic measure near extremal values. We also show that our conceptual assumptions are satisfied in a context of weak inhomogeneity of the medium and almost balanced kinetics.
The talk is based on a joint work with A. Scheel

Spontaneous stochasticity in experimental turbulence : from thermal noise to irreversibility
Resumo: This talk aims at introducing some general ideas to find experimental evidence of spontaneous stochasticity in turbulence.
Some recent theories reconsidered thermal noise when it comes to correctly modeling small scales of turbulence; noise that might also be at the origin of spontaneous stochasticity. The first part of this talk will be dedicated on introducing the experiment and discussing the use of hot-wires to try to observe those weakly energetic random fluctuations.
The study of relation between spontaneous stochasticity and irreversibility will be presented in a second part. We will be especially discussing the use of tools from differential geometry and phase transition theory to enlighten experimental data analysis.

Spontaneous Stochasticity in the Kraichnan Model of Turbulence
Resumo: In this talk we discuss the Kraichnan model of passive scalar advection, which can be used to model turbulent dispersion of particles. We give a brief introduction of the main concepts related to the model and proceed to show how the phenomenon of spontaneous stochasticity takes place in the framework of Gaussian velocity (random) fields. Possible extension to non-Gaussian (intermittent) velocity fields are also discussed.

Wave-particle dynamics in hydrodynamic quantum analogues
Resumo: The groundbreaking discovery by Yves Couder and Emmanuel Fort (Paris, 2005) led to many works on pilot-wave hydrodynamics. Pilot-wave hydrodynamics originates from bouncing droplets of silicon oil that can levitate over a vibrating bath of the same fluid and be self-propelled by the Faraday waves it generates. Following Couder and Fort, these walking droplets are viewed as a hydrodynamic quantum analogue (HQA) of a wave-particle system. We have deduced the first wave-droplet dynamical system which, through scientific computing, has revealed several new dynamical properties not imagined possible for a classical mechanical system. A series of new articles have originated recently from Nachbin (Chaos 2018) where it was shown for the first time that two oscillators can be correlated at a distance, without any explicit coupling between them. An overview of these recents results will be presented, including those of a recent Nature Comm. Physics paper (June 2022) where we show the cooperative tunneling of two particles.
