We consider an extension of the classical Fisher-Kolmogorov equation, called the \textit{Fisher-Stefan} model, which is a moving boundary problem on $0 < x < L(t)$. A key property of the Fisher-Stefan model is the…
Scaling, hyperscaling and finite-size scaling were long considered problematic in theories of critical phenomena in high dimensions. The scaling relations themselves form a model-independent structure that any model-specific theory must…
We give an intuitive geometric explanation for the apparent breakdown of standard finite-size scaling in systems with periodic boundaries above the upper critical dimension. The Ising model and self-avoiding walk are simulated on…
Interacting physical systems in the neighborhood of criticality (and massive continuum field theories) can often be characterized by just two physical scales: a (macroscopic) correlation length and a (microscopic) interaction range, related…
We analyze the quantum phase transition between a semimetal and a superfluid in a model of attractively interacting fermions with a linear dispersion. The quantum critical properties of this model cannot be treated by the Hertz-Millis…
A good quality scaling of the cluster size distributions is obtained for the Lattice Gas Model using the Fisher's ansatz for the scaling function. This scaling identifies a pseudo-critical line in the phase diagram of the model that spans…
The influence of a thermodynamic constraint on the critical finite-size scaling behavior of three-dimensional Ising and XY models is analyzed by Monte-Carlo simulations. Within the Ising universality class constraints lead to Fisher…
We study corrections to the conformal hyperscaling relation in the conformal window of the large Nf QCD by using the ladder Schwinger-Dyson (SD) equation as a concrete dynamical model. From the analytical expression of the solution of the…
These lecture notes provide an overview of the renormalization group (RG) as a successful framework to understand critical phenomena above the upper critical dimension $d_{\rm uc}$. After an introduction to the scaling picture of continuous…
Phase transitions and critical phenomena are among the most intriguing phenomena in nature and their renormalization-group theory is one of the greatest achievements of theoretical physics. However, the predictions of the theory above an…
We discuss the universal scaling laws of order parameter fluctuations in any system in which the second-order critical behaviour can be identified. These scaling laws can be derived rigorously for equilibrium systems when combined with the…
Understanding phase transitions requires not only identifying order parameters but also characterizing how their correlations behave across scales. By quantifying how fluctuations at distinct spatial or temporal points are related,…
Finite size fluctuations are a crucial ingredient in kinetic theory of long-range interacting collisionless systems. In this Letter, we introduce a phenomenological theory which predicts an anomalous scaling close to marginal stability for…
We study continuum percolation of overlapping circular discs of two sizes. We propose a phenomenological scaling equation for the increase in the effective size of the larger discs due to the presence of the smaller discs. The critical…
Motivated by the information bound for the asymptotic variance of M-estimates for scale, we define Fisher information of scale of any distribution function F on the real line as a suitable supremum. In addition, we enforce equivariance by a…
At densities higher than the jamming transition for athermal, frictionless repulsive spheres we find two distinct length scales, both of which diverge as a power law as the transition is approached. The first, $\xi_{Z}$, is associated with…
The critical properties of systems under constraint differ from their ideal counterparts through Fisher renormalization. The mathematical properties of Fisher renormalization applied to critical exponents are well known: the renormalized…
Existence of the upper critical dimension d_{c2}=4 for the Anderson transition is a rigorous consequence of the Bogoliubov theorem on renormalizability of \phi^4 theory. For dimensions d\ge 4, one-parameter scaling does not hold, and all…
We study a two-species reaction-diffusion system with the reactions $A+A\to (0, A)$ and $A+B\to A$, with general diffusion constants $D_A$ and $D_B$. Previous studies showed that for dimensions $d\leq 2$ the $B$ particle density decays with…
Fluctuation relations are powerful equalities that hold far from equilibrium. However, the standard approach to include measurement and feedback schemes may become inapplicable in certain situations, including continuous measurements,…
