The main results of this paper provide VMO-type estimates for the quadratic tilt-excess on varifolds with critical generalized mean curvature. These estimates apply to varifolds with "almost-integral" density which are close to a…
We introduce and study a class of abstract continuous action minimization problems that generalize continuous first and last passage percolation. In this class of models a limit shape exists. Our main result provides a framework under which…
This document outlines the development of numerous new theoretical approaches to model associating fluids. For a detailed abstract please see page ii.
We use Seiberg--Witten-like relations in the topological recursion framework to obtain virtual Euler characteristics for uni- and multicellular maps for ensembles of classic orthogonal polynomials and for ensembles related to nonorientable…
We show that the correction-to-scaling exponents in two-dimensional percolation are bounded by Omega <= 72/91, omega = D Omega <= 3/2, and Delta_1 = nu omega <= 2, based upon Cardy's result for the critical crossing probability on an…
Consider percolation on $T\times \mathbb{Z}^d$, the product of a regular tree of degree $k\geq 3$ with the hypercubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$. It is known that this graph has $0<p_c<p_u<1$, so that there are non-trivial regimes in which…
An exact formula is given for the probability that there exists a spanning cluster between opposite boundaries of an annulus, in the scaling limit of critical percolation. The entire distribution function for the number of distinct spanning…
We give an overview of results on irregular complex surfaces of general type, discussing in particular the distribution of the numerical invariants self-intersection of a canonical divisor and holomorphic Euler characteristic for the…
In a recent article, Galam and Mauger proposed an invariant for site and bond percolation thresholds, based on known values for twenty lattices (Eur. Phys. J. B 1 (1998) 255-258). Here we give a larger list of values for more than forty…
We obtain new lower bounds on the critical points for various models of oriented percolation. The method is to provide a stochastic domination of the percolation processes by multitype Galton-Watson trees. This can be apply to the classical…
We provide a generalisation of Pinelis' Rademacher-Gaussian tail comparison to complex coefficients. We also establish uniform bounds on the probability that the magnitude of weighted sums of independent random vectors uniform on Euclidean…
Descriptors that characterize the geometry and topology of the pore space of porous media are intimately linked to their transport properties. We quantify such descriptors, including pore-size functions and the critical pore radius…
Here we show how the recent exact determination of the bond percolation threshold for the martini lattice can be used to provide approximations to the unsolved kagom\'e and (3,12^2) lattices. We present two different methods, one of which…
The central goal of this thesis is to develop methods to experimentally study topological phases. We do so by applying the powerful toolbox of quantum simulation techniques with cold atoms in optical lattices. To this day, a complete…
Hyperbolic lattices interpolate between finite-dimensional lattices and Bethe lattices and are interesting in their own right with ordinary percolation exhibiting not one, but two, phase transitions. We study four constraint percolation…
Porous materials made up of impermeable polyhedral grains constrain fluid flow to voids around the impenetrable constituent barrier particles. A percolation transition marks the boundary between assemblies of grains which contain system…
A 1/L-expansion for percolation problems is proposed, where L is the lattice finite length. The square lattice with 27 different sizes L = 18, 22 ... 1594 is considered. Certain spanning probabilities were determined by Monte Carlo…
Equilibrium statistical physics is considered from the point of view of statistical estimation theory. This involves the notions of statistical model, of estimators, and of exponential family. A useful property of the latter is the…
A general method is proposed for predicting the asymptotic percolation threshold of networks with bottlenecks, in the limit that the sub-net mesh size goes to zero. The validity of this method is tested for bond percolation on filled…
We investigate the Ulrich complexity of certain examples of Brauer--Severi varieties, twisted flags and involution varieties and establish lower and upper bounds. Furthermore, we relate Ulrich complexity to the categorical representability…
