Percolation on networks is a common framework to model a wide range of processes, from cascading failures to epidemic spreading. Standard percolation assumes short-range interactions, implying that nodes can merge into clusters only if they…
We study a class of 2-dimensional Hamiltonian systems $H(x,y,p_x,p_y)=\frac12(p_x^2+p_y^2) +V(x,y)$ in which the plane $x$=$p_x$=0 is invariant under the Hamiltonian flow, so that straight-line librations along the y axis exist, and we also…
I consider a one dimensional system of particles which interact through a hard core of diameter $\si$ and can connect to each other if they are closer than a distance $d$. The mean cluster size increases as a function of the density $\rho$…
Semi-transitive graphs, defined in \cite{hps98} as examples where ``uniform percolation" holds whenever $p>p_c$, are a large class of graphs more general than quasi-transitive graphs. Let $G$ be a semi-transitive graph with one end which…

The existence of an exactly marginal deformation in a conformal field theory is very special, but it is not well understood how this is reflected in the allowed dimensions and OPE coefficients of local operators. To shed light on this…
Although it has long been known that the proper quantum field theory description of critical percolation involves a logarithmic conformal field theory (LCFT), no direct consequence of this has been observed so far. Representing critical…
We study the two most common types of percolation process on a sparse random graph with a given degree sequence. Namely, we examine first a bond percolation process where the edges of the graph are retained with probability p and afterwards…
We study conformal field theory on two-dimensional orbifolds and show this to be an effective way to analyze physical effects of geometric singularities with angular deficits. They are closely related to boundaries and cross caps.…
We use the equations of motion in combination with crossing symmetry to constrain the properties of interacting fermionic boundary conformal field theories. This combination is an efficient way of determining operator product expansion…

Although well described by mean-field theory in the thermodynamic limit, scaling has long been puzzling for finite systems in high dimensions. This raised questions about the efficacy of the renormalization group and foundational concepts…
