We extend recent results on the exact hydrodynamics of a system of diffusive active particles displaying a motility-induced phase separation to account for typical fluctuations of the dynamical fields. By calculating correlation functions…
We study a monomer-dimer model with repulsive interactions between the same species in one dimension. With infinitely strong interactions the model exhibits a continuous transition from a reactive phase to an inactive phase with two…
Rigidity transitions induced by the formation of system-spanning disordered rigid clusters, like the jamming transition, can be well-described in most physically relevant dimensions by mean-field theories. A dynamical mean-field theory…

Nonequilibrium hyperuniformity can arise either as a steady-state property of driven active fluids or as a critical signature at continuous absorbing transition points in two and three dimensions. Whether analogous structural order exists…

We study the scalar one-component two-dimensional (2D) $\phi^4$ model by computer simulations, with local Metropolis moves. The equilibrium exponents of this model are well-established, e.g. for the 2D $\phi^4$ model $\gamma= 1.75$ and…

We use deposition models of kinetic roughening of a growing surface to introduce the concepts of universality and scaling and to analyze the qualitative and quantitative role of different parameters. In particular, we focus on two classes…
We study a model of fully developed turbulence of a compressible fluid, based on the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation, by means of the field theoretic renormalization group. In this approach, scaling properties are related to the fixed…
We present a general scaling theory for the surface critical behavior of non-equilibrium systems with phase transitions into absorbing states. The theory allows for two independent surface exponents which satisfy generalized hyperscaling…
This paper is concerned with the connection between the properties of dielectric relaxation and ac (alternating-current) conduction in disordered dielectrics. The discussion is divided between the classical linear-response theory and a…
Unveiling universal non-equilibrium scaling laws has been a central theme in modern statistical physics, with recent attention increasingly directed toward non-equilibrium phases that exhibit rich dynamical phenomena. A striking example…
We study the imaginary-time relaxation critical dynamics of a quantum system with a vanishing initial correlation length and an arbitrary initial order parameter $M_0$. We find that in quantum critical dynamics, the behavior of $M_0$ under…
We study the renormalization group flow of the O(N) non-linear sigma model in arbitrary dimensions. The effective action of the model is truncated to fourth order in the derivative expansion and the flow is obtained by combining the…
We study the conditions under which the critical behavior of the three-dimensional $mn$-vector model does not belong to the spherically symmetrical universality class. In the calculations we rely on the field-theoretical renormalization…
The steady-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional reaction-diffusion model 2A -> 3A, 2A -> 0 is studied through the non-hermitian density matrix renormalization group. In the absence of single-particle diffusion the model reduces to the…
Evidence of critical dynamics has been recently found in both experiments and models of large scale brain dynamics. The understanding of the nature and features of such critical regime is hampered by the relatively small size of the…
Second-order phase transitions are characterised by critical scaling and universality. The singular behaviour of thermodynamic quantities at the transition, in particular, is determined by critical exponents of the universality class of the…
Key traits of unicellular species, like cell size, often follow scale-free or self-similar distributions, hinting at the possibility of an underlying critical process. However, linking such empirical scaling laws to the critical regime of…
