These notes are based on a talk given at the 2018 Arizona School of Analysis and Mathematical Physics. We give a comprehensive introduction to the KPZ universality class, a conjectured class of stochastic process with local interactions…
It is well-known that the excursions of a one-dimensional diffusion process can be studied by considering a certain Riccati equation associated with the process. We show that, in many cases of interest, the Riccati equation can be solved in…
We discuss correlations in percolation and recent contributions of Xiaojun Tan, Youjin Deng and Jesper Lykke Jacobsen in their paper "N-cluster correlations in four- and five-dimensional percolation," Frontiers of Physics 15, 41501 (July,…
Recently, the number of non-standard percolation models has proliferated. In all these models, there exists a phase transition at which long range connectivity is established, if local connectedness increases through a threshold $p_c$. In…
We study ballistic aggregation on a two dimensional square lattice, where particles move ballistically in between momentum and mass conserving coalescing collisions. Three models are studied based on the shapes of the aggregates: in the…
The universality of the crossing probability $\pi_{hs}$ of a system to percolate only in the horizontal direction, was investigated numerically by using a cluster Monte-Carlo algorithm for the $q$-state Potts model for $q=2,3,4$ and for…
We consider, in any dimension, the constrained lattice gas introduced by Rossi et al., which is an exclusion process on a d-dimensional lattice following the additional constraint that only particles with at least one occupied neighbour can…
We have characterized the scaling behavior of the first-passage percolation (FPP) model on two types of discrete networks, the regular square lattice and the disordered Delaunay lattice, thereby addressing the effect of the underlying…
We introduce a general $(k,l)$ clique community, which consists of adjacent $k$-cliques sharing at least $l$ vertices with $k-1 \ge l \ge 1$. The emergence of a giant $(k,l)$ clique community indicates a $(k,l)$ clique percolation, which is…
Random percolation can be fully interpreted as a confining pure gauge theory. With numerical high-precision measurements of Polyakov-Polyakov correlators at finite temperature, we could well observe the presence of shape effects due to…
The universal amplitude ratio $\tilde{R}_{\xi}$ for percolation in two dimensions is determined exactly using results for the dilute A model in regime 1, by way of a relationship with the q-state Potts model for q<4.
We examine the percolation model in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ by an approach involving lattice animals, in which their relevant characteristic is surface-area-to-volume ratio. Two critical exponents are introduced. The first is related to the growth…
We study geodesics in the Brochette first-passage percolation model, where edges on the same axis-parallel line share a common random passage time, inducing long-range dependence. We focus on the maximal transversal deviation H n of…
The nonequilibrium steady state of the one-dimensional (1D) Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class is studied in-depth by exact solutions, yet no direct experimental evidence of its characteristic statistical properties has been…
The short-time evolution of a growing interface is studied within the framework of the dynamic renormalization group approach for the Kadar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation and for an idealized continuum model of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).…
Exciton-polaritons under driven-dissipative conditions exhibit a condensation transition which belongs to a different universality class than equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensates. By numerically solving the generalized Gross-Pitaevskii…
The looping constant $\xi(Z^d)$ is the expected number of neighbors of the origin that lie on the infinite loop-erased random walk in $Z^d$. Poghosyan, Priezzhev and Ruelle, and independently, Kenyon and Wilson, proved recently that…
We study gradient percolation for site percolation on the triangular lattice. This is a percolation model where the percolation probability depends linearly on the location of the site. We prove the results predicted by physicists for this…
2D Percolation path exponents $x^{\cal P}_{\ell}$ describe probabilities for traversals of annuli by $\ell$ non-overlapping paths, each on either occupied or vacant clusters, with at least one of each type. We relate the probabilities…
Three-dimensional bond or site percolation theory on a lattice can be interpreted as a gauge theory in which the Wilson loops are viewed as counters of topological linking with random clusters. Beyond the percolation threshold large Wilson…
