Reduction of flow compressibility with the corresponding ideally invariant helicities, universally for various fluid models of neutral and ionized gases, can be argued statistically and associated with the geometrical scenario in the…
Diffusion-a measure of dynamics, and entropy-a measure of disorder in the system, are found to be intimately correlated in many systems, and the correlation is often strongly non-linear. We explore the origin of this complex dependence by…
We introduce a new class of sparse sequences that are ergodic and pointwise universally $L^2$-good for ergodic averages. That is, sequences along which the ergodic averages converge almost surely to the projection to invariant functions.…
We examine the fractal structure of the physical universe from the large scale to the smallest scale, including the phenomenon of fractal scaling. This is explained in terms of a stochastic underpinning for the laws of physics. A picture in…
Transport by normal diffusion can be decomposed into the so-called hydrodynamic modes which relax exponentially toward the equilibrium state. In chaotic systems with two degrees of freedom, the fine scale structure of these hydrodynamic…
A method is proposed for generating compact fractal disordered media, by generalizing the random midpoint displacement algorithm. The obtained structures are invasive stochastic fractals, with the Hurst exponent varying as a continuous…
The Frisch-Parisi multifractal formalism remains the most compelling rationalisation for anomalous scaling in fully developed turbulence. We now show that this formalism can be adapted locally to reveal the spatial distribution of…
In 1975 Szemer\'edi proved the long-standing conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Tur\'an that any subset of $\bbZ$ having positive upper Banach density contains arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. Szemer\'edi's proof was entirely…
Macroscopic mechanical properties of polymers are determined by their microscopic molecular chain distribution. Due to randomness of these molecular chains, probability theory has been used to find their micro-states and energy…
We study numerically the correlations and the distribution of intervals between successive zeros in the fluctuating geometry of stochastic interfaces, described by the Edwards-Wilkinson equation. For equilibrium states we find that the…
The Boltzmann distribution of an ideal gas is determined by the Hamiltonian function generating single particle dynamics. Systems with higher complexity often exhibit topological constraints, which are independent of the Hamiltonian and may…
We consider some elementary aspects of the geometry of the space of probability measures endowed with Wasserstein distance. In such a setting, we discuss the various terms entering Perelman's shrinker entropy, and characterize two new…
In recent works it has been demonstrated that using an appropriate rescaling, linear Boltzmann-type equations give rise to a scalar fractional diffusion equation in the limit of a small mean free path. The equilibrium distributions are…
Simplicial distributions are combinatorial models describing distributions on spaces of measurements and outcomes that generalize non-signaling distributions on contextuality scenarios. This paper studies simplicial distributions on…
The spatial distributions of cities fall into two groups: one is the simple distribution with characteristic scale (e.g. exponential distribution), and the other is the complex distribution without characteristic scale (e.g. power-law…
We propose and investigate a simple model which describes the kinetics of aggregation of Brownian particles with stochastic self-replication. An exact solution and the scaling theory are presented alongside numerical simulation which fully…
When the complete understanding of a complex system is not available, as, e.g., for systems considered in the real-world, we need a top-down approach to complexity. In this approach one may start with the desire to understand general…
Two main features of the observable distribution of visible matter are the space correlations of galaxy positions and the mass function of galaxies. As discussed in Pietronero and Sylos Labini on this issue ([1], see also [2],[3]), the…
Sea ice is not continuous and homogeneous on large scales. Its morphology is inherently discrete and made of individual floes. In recent years, sea ice models have incorporated this horizontal heterogeneity. The modelling framework…
We apply the scale-length method to several three dimensional samples of the Two degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey. This method allows us to map in a quantitative and powerful way large scale structures in the distribution of galaxies…
