Contact processes describe the transmission of distinct properties of nodes via the links of a network. They provide a simple framework for many phenomena, such as epidemic spreading and opinion formation. Combining contact processes with…
The critical behavior of the contact process in disordered and periodic binary 2d-lattices is investigated numerically by means of Monte Carlo simulations as well as via an analytical approximation and standard mean field theory.…
We study two one-dimensional variants of the contact process: the contact-and-barrier process, where the population evolves in a region delimited by a randomly moving barrier, and the multitype contact process, in which two species compete…
We consider a random walk on top of the contact process on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with $d\geq 1$. In particular, we focus on the "contact process as seen from the random walk". Under the assumption that the infection rate of the contact process is…
The regular tree corresponds to the random regular graph as its local limit. For this reason the famous double phase transition of the contact process on regular tree has been seen to correspond to a phase transition on the large random…
In this paper, we introduce a type switching mechanism for the Contact Process on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$. That is, we allow the individual particles/sites to switch between two (or more) types independently of one another, and the…
Complementarity constitutes a central aspect of quantum theory. It manifests itself, for example, in a two-way interferometer, where the simultaneous observation of an interference pattern and the acquisition of which-way information are…
A useful result about leftmost and rightmost paths in two dimensional bond percolation is proved. This result was introduced without proof in \cite{G} in the context of the contact process in continuous time. As discussed here, it also…
We prove the existence of (one-way) communication tasks with a subconstant versus superconstant asymptotic gap, which we call "doubly infinite," between their quantum information and communication complexities. We do so by studying the…
We revisit the problem of Stone duality for lattices with various quasioperators, first studied in [14], presenting a fresh duality result. The new result is an improvement over that of [14] in two important respects. First, the…
It is well known that in a two-slit interference experiment, acquiring which-path information about the particle, leads to a degrading of the interference. It is argued that path-information has a meaning only when one can umabiguously tell…
We compute the cylindrical contact homology of the links of the simple singularities. These manifolds are contactomorphic to $S^3/G$ for finite subgroups $G\subset SU(2)$. We perturb the degenerate contact form on $S^3/G$ with a Morse…
We present a new method for completing higher derivative corrections for theories that exhibit duality symmetries under reduction. This proposal is based on the observation that duality symmetry in the reduced theory highly constrains the…
We survey research that studies the connection between the computational complexity of optimization problems on the one hand, and the duality gap between the primal and dual optimization problems on the other. To our knowledge, this is the…
We compute the cylindrical contact homology of the links of the simple singularities. These manifolds are contactomorphic to $S^3/G$ for finite subgroups $G\subset\text{SU}(2)$. We perturb the degenerate contact form on $S^3/G$ with a Morse…
We study a generalization of the two colors multitype contact process intended to mimic an example of interspecific competition called allelopathy.
We find all factorized duality functions for a class of interacting particle systems. The functions we recover are self-duality functions for interacting particle systems such as zero-range processes, symmetric inclusion and exclusion…
Recently, the author and Yamamoto invented a new proof of the duality for multiple zeta values. The technique is applicable in other series identities. In this article, we exhibit such proofs for some series identities.
We study a contact process on a two-dimensional square lattice which is diluted by randomly removing bonds with probability p. For p<1/2 and varying birth rate $\lambda$ the model was shown to exhibit a continuous phase transition which…
We prove that the supercritical one-dimensional contact process survives in certain wedge-like space-time regions, and that when it survives it couples with the unrestricted contact process started from its upper invariant measure. As an…
