Phenomenological theory giving the full statistics of the position of fluctuating pulled fronts.

چکیده
We propose a phenomenological description for the effect of a weak noise on the position of a front described by the Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piscounov equation or any other traveling-wave equation in the same class. Our scenario is based on four hypotheses on the relevant mechanism for the diffusion of the front. Our parameter-free analytical predictions for the velocity of the front, its diffusion constant and higher cumulants of its position agree with numerical simulations.

Universality class of fluctuating pulled fronts.
It has recently been proposed that fluctuating "pulled" fronts propagating into an unstable state should not be in the standard Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class for rough interface growth. We introduce an effective field equation for this class of problems, and show on the basis of it that noisy pulled fronts in d+1 bulk dimensions should be in the universality class of the ((d+1)+1...
متن کاملFluctuating pulled fronts & Pomerons
I give a physical discussion of the influence of particle number fluctuations on the high energy evolution in QCD. I emphasize the event–by–event description and the correspondence with the problem of ‘fluctuating pulled fronts’ in statistical physics. I show that the correlations generated by fluctuations reduce the phase–space for BFKL evolution up to saturation. Because of that, the evolutio...
متن کاملNegative velocity fluctuations of pulled reaction fronts.
The position of a reaction front, propagating into an unstable state, fluctuates because of the shot noise. What is the probability that the fluctuating front moves considerably slower than its deterministic counterpart? Can the noise arrest the front motion for some time, or even make it move in the wrong direction? We present a WKB theory that assumes many particles in the front region and an...
متن کاملBreakdown of the standard perturbation theory and moving boundary approximation for pulled’’ fronts
The derivation of a Moving Boundary Approximation or of the response of a coherent structure like a front, vortex or pulse to external forces and noise, is generally valid under two conditions: the existence of a separation of time scales of the dynamics on the inner and outer scale and the existence and convergence of solvability type integrals. We point out that these conditions are not satis...
متن کاملFront propagation into unstable states: universal algebraic convergence towards uniformly translating pulled fronts
Fronts that start from a local perturbation and propagate into a linearly unstable state come in two classes: pulled fronts and pushed fronts. The term “pulled front” expresses that these fronts are “pulled along” by the spreading of linear perturbations about the unstable state. Accordingly, their asymptotic speed v∗ equals the spreading speed of perturbations whose dynamics is governed by the...
