A consequence of de Finetti's representation theorem is that for every infinite sequence of exchangeable 0-1 random variables $(X_k)_{k\geq1}$, there exists a probability measure $\mu$ on the Borel sets of $[0,1]$ such that $\bar X_n =…
We interpret measurements of the Reynolds number dependence of the torque in Taylor-Couette flow by Lewis and Swinney [Phys. Rev. E 59, 5457 (1999)] and of the pressure drop in pipe flow by Smits and Zagarola, [Phys. Fluids 10, 1045 (1998)]…

Nowadays there is an increasing interest of physicists in finding regularities related to social phenomena. This interest is clearly motivated by applications that a statistical mechanical description of the human behavior may have in our…
We consider transition to strong turbulence in an infinite fluid stirred by a gaussian random force. The transition is {\bf defined} as a first appearance of anomalous scaling of normalized moments of velocity derivatives (dissipation…
In terms of the replica method we consider the low temperature limit of (2+1) directed polymers in a random potential. The proposed approach allows to compute the scaling exponent $\theta$ of the free energy fluctuations as well as the left…

We consider the application of finite-size scaling methods to isothermal-isobaric (constant-NpT) simulations of pure continuum fluids. A finite-size scaling ansatz is made for the dependence of the relevant scaling operators on the particle…
Let $\xi_0,\xi_1,...$ be independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables such that $\E \log (1+|\xi_0|)<\infty$. We consider random analytic functions of the form $$ G_n(z)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \xi_k f_{k,n} z^k, $$ where…
Percolation theory is usually applied to lattices with a uniform probability p that a site is occupied or that a bond is closed. The more general case, where p is a function of the position x, has received less attention. Previous studies…
Phenomenological scaling arguments suggest the existence of universal amplitudes in the finite-size scaling of certain correlation lengths in strongly anisotropic or dynamical phase transitions. For equilibrium systems, provided that…
We present a new unified theory of critical finite-size scaling for lattice statistical mechanical models with periodic boundary conditions above the upper critical dimension. Our theory is based on recent mathematically rigorous results…
In this work we consider the 1-component real scalar $\phi^4$ theory in 4 space-time dimensions on the lattice and investigate the finite size scaling of thermodynamic quantities to study whether the thermodynamic limit is attained. The…
The long wavelength diffusion coefficient of a critical fluid confined between two parallel plates separated by a distance L is strongly affected by the finite size. Finite size scaling leads us to expect that the vanishing of the diffusion…
The frequency and magnitude of weather extreme events have increased significantly during the past few years in response to anthropogenic climate change. However, global statistical characteristics and underlying physical mechanisms are…
We study the full distribution of $A=\int_{0}^{T}x^{n}\left(t\right)dt$, $n=1,2,\dots$, where $x\left(t\right)$ is an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. We find that for $n>2$ the long-time ($T \to \infty$) scaling form of the distribution is of…
We consider the inclusion process on the complete graph with vanishing diffusivity, which leads to condensation of particles in the thermodynamic limit. Describing particle configurations in terms of size-biased and appropriately scaled…
Using the $x-y$ model and a non-local updating scheme called cluster Monte Carlo, we calculate the superfluid density of a two dimensional superfluid on large-size square lattices $L \times L$ up to $400\times 400$. This technique allows us…
A theoretical framework is developed to describe the transformation that distributes probability density functions uniformly over space. In one dimension, the cumulative distribution can be used, but does not generalize to higher…
We propose a generic scaling theory for critical phenomena that includes power-law and essential singularities in finite and infinite dimensional systems. In addition, we clarify its validity by analyzing the Potts model in a simple…
