The transport properties of disordered systems are known to depend critically on dimensionality. We study the diffusion coefficient of a quantum particle confined to a lattice on the surface of a tube, where it scales between the 1D and 2D…
Piecewise smooth systems are intensively studied today in many application areas, such as economics, finance, engineering, biology, and ecology. In this work, we consider a class of one-dimensional piecewise linear discontinuous maps with a…
This talk summarizes results for all the scale independent renormalization constants for bilinear currents ($Z_A$, $Z_V$, and $Z_S/Z_P$), the improvement constants ($c_A$, $c_V$, and $c_T$), the quark mass dependence of $Z_O$, and the…
We provide a detailed Dynamic Renormalization Group study for a class of stochastic equations that describe non-conserved interface growth mediated by non-local interactions. We consider explicitly both the morphologically stable case, and…
Deterministic rate equations are widely used in the study of stochastic, interacting particles systems. This approach assumes that the inherent noise, associated with the discreteness of the elementary constituents, may be neglected when…
The talk presented at ICMP 97 focused on the scaling limits of critical percolation models, and some other systems whose salient features can be described by collections of random lines. In the scaling limit we keep track of features seen…
Transfer-matrix methods, with the help of finite-size scaling and conformal invariance concepts, are used to investigate the critical behavior of two-dimensional square-lattice Ising spin-1/2 systems with first- and second-neighbor…
The geometry of fracture patterns in a dilute elastic network is explored using molecular dynamics simulation. The network in two dimensions is subjected to a uniform strain which drives the fracture to develop by the growth and coalescence…
We present a new analysis of the Delta I = 1/2 rule in K --> pi pi decays and the B_K parameter. We use the 1/N_c expansion within the effective chiral lagrangian for pseudoscalar mesons and compute the hadronic matrix elements at leading…
The effect of Coulomb and short-range interactions on the spectral properties of two-dimensional disordered systems with two spinless fermions is investigated by numerical scaling techniques. The size independent universality of the…
The spatial distribution of persistent (unvisited) sites in one dimensional $A+A\to\emptyset$ model is studied. The `empty interval distribution' $n(k,t)$, which is the probability that two consecutive persistent sites are separated by…
The way in which kinetic energy is distributed over the multiplicity of inertial (intermediate) scales is a fundamental feature of turbulence. According to Kolmogorov's 1941 theory, on the basis of a dimensional analysis, the form of the…
This is a significantly expanded version of the survey paper "Mixing and decay of correlations in non-uniformly expanding maps: a survey of recent results" math/0301319. We discuss recent results on decay of correlations for non-uniformly…
The $K\to\pi\pi$ decay amplitudes are studied within the framework of generalized factorization in which the effective Wilson coefficients are gauge-invariant, renormalization-scale and -scheme independent while factorization is applied to…
SQG describes the 2D active transport of a scalar field, such as temperature, which -- when properly rescaled -- shares the same physical dimension of length/time as the advecting velocity field. This duality has motivated analogies with 3D…
We elucidate the effects of chiral quenched disorder on the scaling properties of pure systems by considering a reduced model that is a variant of the quenched disordered cubic anisotropic O(N) model near its second order phase transition.…
We consider the influence of a power-law deviation from the critical coupling such that the system is critical at its surface. We develop a scaling theory showing that such a perturbation introduces a new length scale which governs the…
We consider strips of Ising spins at criticality. For strips of width $N$ sites, subdominant (additive) finite-size corrections to scaling are assumed to be of the form $a_k/N^k$ for the free energy, and $b_k/N^k$ for inverse correlation…
We present results on tagged particle diffusion in a meso-scale lattice model for sheared amorphous material in athermal quasi-static conditions. We find a short time diffusive regime and a long time diffusive regime whose diffusion…
We analyze scaling behaviors of simulated annealing carried out on various classical systems with topological order, obtained as appropriate limits of the toric code in two and three dimensions. We first consider the three-dimensional…
