In marginally jammed solids confined by walls, we calculate the particle and ensemble averaged value of an order parameter, $\left<\Psi(r)\right>$, as a function of the distance to the wall, $r$. Being a microscopic indicator of structural…

We study random coloring of the hexagons of a honeycomb lattice into $2^{n-1}$ colors (that is the standard Potts model at infinite temperature). It may be considered as a generalization of percolation to $n$ pairwise independent, but…
We consider first-passage percolation on the edges of $\mathbb{Z}^2 \times k,$ namely the slab of width $k$. Each edge is assigned independently a passage time of either 0 (with probability $1-p_c(\mathbb{S}_k)$) or 1 ((with probability…
