The finite-size scaling theory for continuous phase transition plays an important role in determining critical point and critical exponents from the size-dependent behaviors of quantities in the thermodynamic limit. For percolation phase…
Commensurate scale relations are perturbative QCD predictions which relate observable to observable at fixed relative scales, independent of the choice of intermediate renormalization scheme or other theoretical conventions. A prominent…
We develop the hypothesis that the dynamics of a given system may lead to the activity being constricted to a subset of space, characterized by a fractal dimension smaller than the space dimension. We also address how the response function…
Criticality with strong coupling is described by a theory in the vicinity of a non-Gaussian fixed point. The holographic duality conjectures that a theory at a non-Gaussian fixed point with strong coupling is dual to a gravitational theory.…

Dynamical similarities are non-standard symmetries found in a wide range of physical systems that identify solutions related by a change of scale. In this paper we will show through a series of examples how this symmetry extends to the…

Scaling laws arise and are eulogized across disciplines from natural to social sciences for providing pithy, quantitative, `scale-free', and `universal' power law relationships between two variables. On a log-log plot, the power laws…
