1/fβ noise in a model for weak ergodicity breaking

Distribution of time-averaged observables for weak ergodicity breaking.

We find a general formula for the distribution of time-averaged observables for systems modeled according to the subdiffusive continuous time random walk. For Gaussian random walks coupled to a thermal bath we recover ergodicity and Boltzmann's statistics, while for the anomalous subdiffusive case a weakly nonergodic statistical mechanical framework is constructed, which is based on Lévy's gene...

Weak-ergodicity Breaking in Mean-field Spin-glass Models

Subdiffusion and weak ergodicity breaking in the presence of a reactive boundary.

We derive the boundary condition for a subdiffusive particle interacting with a reactive boundary with a finite reaction rate. Molecular crowding conditions, that are found to cause subdiffusion of larger molecules in biological cells, are shown to effect long-tailed distributions with an identical exponent for both the unbinding times from the boundary to the bulk and the rebinding times from ...

Ergodicity breaking and localization.

We study the joint action of the non-Poisson renewal events (NPR) yielding Continuous-time random walk (CTRW) with index α<1 and two different generators of Hurst coefficient H≠0.5, one generating fractional Brownian motion (FBM) and another scaled Brownian motion (SBM). We discuss the ergodicity breaking emerging from these joint actions and we find that in both cases the adoption of time aver...

In vivo anomalous diffusion and weak ergodicity breaking of lipid granules.

Combining extensive single particle tracking microscopy data of endogenous lipid granules in living fission yeast cells with analytical results we show evidence for anomalous diffusion and weak ergodicity breaking. Namely we demonstrate that at short times the granules perform subdiffusion according to the laws of continuous time random walk theory. The associated violation of ergodicity leads ...
