The continuum random cluster model is a Gibbs modification of the standard boolean model of intensity $z > 0$ and law of radii $Q$. The formal unormalized density is given by $q^{N_{cc}}$ where $q$ is a fixed parameter and $N_{cc}$ is the…

Percolation theory allows simple description of the phase transition based on the scaling properties of the network clusters with respect to a single parameter - site or bond occupation probability. How to design a network exhibiting the…
A random growth lattice filling model of percolation with touch and stop growth rule is developed and studied numerically on a two dimensional square lattice. Nucleation centers are continuously added one at a time to the empty sites and…
Nucleation is the onset of a first-order phase transition by which a metastable phase transforms into a more stable one. Such a phase transition occurs when an initial system initially in equilibrium is destabilized by the change of an…
Many non-equilibrium systems display dynamic phase transitions from active to absorbing states, where fluctuations cease entirely. Based on a field theory representation of the master equation, the critical behavior can be analyzed by means…
From the microscopic point of view almost all bonds between particles of condensed substances must be performed by exchanges of virtual photons. Consequently the duration of their virtuality must be longer than the extent of their free path…
Percolation is one of the simplest and nicest models in probability theory/statistical mechanics which exhibits critical phenomena. Dynamical percolation is a model where a simple time dynamics is added to the (ordinary) percolation model.…
We consider percolation and jamming transitions for particulate systems exposed to compression. For the systems built of particles interacting by purely repulsive forces in addition to friction and viscous damping, it is found that these…

Across natural and human-made systems, transition points mark sudden changes of order and are thus key to understanding overarching system features. Motivated by recent experimental observations, we here uncover an intriguing class of…
Explosive percolation (EP) has received significant research attention due to its rich and anomalous phenomena near criticality. In our recent study [Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 147101 (2023)], we demonstrated that the correct critical behaviors…
We prove that the Poisson-Boolean percolation on $\mathbb{R}^d$ undergoes a sharp phase transition in any dimension under the assumption that the radius distribution has a $5d-3$ finite moment (in particular we do not assume that the…
In two space dimensions, the percolation point of the pure-site clusters of the Ising model coincides with the critical point T_c of the thermal transition and the percolation exponents belong to a special universality class. By introducing…
We give a physical description in terms of percolation theory of the phase transition that occurs when the disorder increases in the random antiferromagnetic spin-1 chain between a gapless phase with topological order and a random singlet…
Crackling noise is a common feature in many systems that are pushed slowly, the most familiar instance of which is the sound made by a sheet of paper when crumpled. In percolation and regular aggregation clusters of any size merge until a…
Weak multiplex percolation generalizes percolation to multi-layer networks, represented as networks with a common set of nodes linked by multiple types (colors) of edges. We report a novel discontinuous phase transition in this problem.…
Bootstrap percolation on a graph iteratively enlarges a set of occupied sites by adjoining points with at least $\theta$ occupied neighbors. The initially occupied set is random, given by a uniform product measure, and we say that spanning…
We present a unifying, consistent, finite-size-scaling picture for percolation theory bringing it into the framework of a general, renormalization-group-based, scaling scheme for systems above their upper critical dimensions $d_c$.…
Critical phenomena near continuous phase transitions are typically observed on the scale of wavelengths of visible light[1]. Here we report similar phenomena for atmospheric precipitation on scales of tens of kilometers. Our observations…
