Order parameter fluctuations (the largest cluster size distribution) are studied within a three-dimensional bond percolation model on small lattices. Cumulant ratios measuring the fluctuations exhibit distinct features near the percolation…
In the case of media comprised of impermeable particles, fluid flows through voids around impenetrable grains. For sufficiently low concentrations of the latter, spaces around grains join to allow transport on macroscopic scales, whereas…
The rigidity transition occurs when, as the density of microscopic components is increased, a disordered medium becomes able to transmit and ensure macroscopic mechanical stability, owing to the appearance of a space-spanning rigid…
Percolation is a concept widely used in many fields of research and refers to the propagation of substances through porous media (e.g., coffee filtering), or the behaviour of complex networks (e.g., spreading of diseases). Percolation…
Suitable cluster definitions have allowed researchers to describe many ordering transitions in spin systems as geometric phenomena related to percolation. For spin glasses and some other systems with quenched disorder, however, such a…
Extensive numerical simulations in the past decades proved that the critical exponents of the jamming of frictionless spherical particles remain unchanged in two and three dimensions. This implies that the upper critical dimension is…
Descriptors that characterize the geometry and topology of the pore space of porous media are intimately linked to their transport properties. We quantify such descriptors, including pore-size functions and the critical pore radius…
A set of lower bounds on the continuum percolation threshold $\eta_c$ of overlapping convex hyperparticles of general nonspherical (anisotropic) shape with a specified orientational probability distribution in $d$-dimensional Euclidean…
The study of the Ising model from a percolation perspective has played a significant role in the modern theory of critical phenomena. We consider the celebrated square-lattice Ising model and construct percolation clusters by placing bonds,…
Porous materials made up of impermeable polyhedral grains constrain fluid flow to voids around the impenetrable constituent barrier particles. A percolation transition marks the boundary between assemblies of grains which contain system…

We study the percolation of strongly connected clusters (SCCs), in which sites are mutually reachable through directed paths, in systems with randomly oriented bonds by extensive simulations on hypercubic lattices from dimension $d=2$ to…
Discontinuous transition is observed in the equilibrium cluster properties of a percolation model with suppressed cluster growth as the growth parameter g0 is tuned to the critical threshold at sufficiently low initial seed concentration…
Bootstrap percolation is a prominent framework for studying the spreading of activity on a graph. We begin with an initial set of active vertices. The process then proceeds in rounds, and further vertices become active as soon as they have…
We study the boundary effects in invasion percolation with and without trapping. We find that the presence of boundaries introduces a new set of surface critical exponents, as in the case of standard percolation. Numerical simulations show…
We investigate the component sizes of the critical configuration model, as well as the related problem of critical percolation on a supercritical configuration model. We show that, at criticality, the finite third moment assumption on the…
A two parameter percolation model with nucleation and growth of finite clusters is developed taking the initial seed concentration \rho and a growth parameter g as two tunable parameters. Percolation transition is determined by the final…
We simulate the two-dimensional XY model in the flow representation by a worm-type algorithm, up to linear system size $L=4096$, and study the geometric properties of the flow configurations. As the coupling strength $K$ increases, we…
Every realistic instance of a percolation problem is faced with some degree of polydispersity, e.g., the pore-size distribution of an inhomogeneous medium, the size distribution of filler particles in composite materials, or the vertex…
We investigate a three-dimensional kinetically-constrained model that exhibits two types of phase transitions at different densities. At the jamming density $ \rho_J $ there is a mixed-order phase transition in which a finite fraction of…
