We study absorbing state phase transition in one dimension in presence of a conserved continuous local field (CCLF) called energy. A pair of sites on a lattice is said to be active if one or both sites posses more energy than a pre-defined…
Recent studies of nonequilibrium phase transitions have shown that in many systems which have transitions involving an arrested phase, the arrested states show suppressed density fluctuations and a cusp in the configurational entropy at the…
The study of dynamical large deviations allows for a characterization of stationary states of lattice gas models out of equilibrium conditioned on averages of dynamical observables. The application of this framework to the two-dimensional…
A two-offspring branching annihilating random walk model, with finite reaction rates, is studied in one-dimension. The model exhibits a transition from an active to an absorbing phase, expected to belong to the $DP2$ universality class…
The oil and water model is an interacting particle system with two types of particles and a dynamics that conserves the number of particles, which belongs to the so-called class of Abelian networks. Widely studied processes in this class…
We consider the Activated Random Walk model in any dimension with any sleep rate and jump distribution and ergodic initial state. We show that the stabilization properties depend only on the average density of particles, regardless of how…
Activated Random Walk (ARW) is an interacting particle system on the $d$-dimensional lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$. On a finite subset $V \subset \mathbb{Z}^d$ it defines a Markov chain on $\{0,1\}^V$. We prove that when $V$ is a Euclidean ball…
We consider systems whose steady-states exhibit a nonequilibrium phase transition from an active state to one -among an infinite number- absorbing state, as some control parameter is varied across a threshold value. The pair contact…
In this paper we present rigorous results on the critical behavior of the Activated Random Walk model. We conjecture that on a general class of graphs, including $\mathbb{Z}^d$, and under general initial conditions, the system at the…
We consider a self-avoiding walk model of polymer adsorption where the adsorbed polymer can be desorbed by the application of a force, concentrating on the case of the square lattice. Using series analysis methods we investigate the…
Absorbing phase transitions (APTs) are widespread in non-equilibrium systems, spanning condensed matter, epidemics, earthquakes, ecology, and chemical reactions. APTs feature an absorbing state in which the system becomes entrapped, along…
This thesis investigates critical phenomena and equilibrium states in various stochastic models through three interconnected studies. In the first chapter, we analyze the Activated Random Walk model on a one-dimensional ring in the…
We study a recently introduced ladder model which undergoes a transition between an active and an infinitely degenerate absorbing phase. In some cases the critical behaviour of the model is the same as that of the branching annihilating…
Activated Random Walks, on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for any $d\geqslant 1$, is an interacting particle system, where particles can be in either of two states: active or frozen. Each active particle performs a continuous-time simple random walk during…
We investigate the origin of the difference, which was noticed by Fey {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 104}, 145703 (2010)], between the steady state density of an Abelian sandpile model (ASM) and the transition point of its…
We investigate the dynamical and structural properties of absorbing phase transitions (APTs) within granular systems. Specifically, we examine a model for vibrofluidized systems of spherical grains, which undergo a transition from a state…
We study a stochastic lattice gas of particles undergoing asymmetric diffusion in two dimensions. Transitions between a low-density uniform phase and high-density non-uniform phases characterized by localized or extended structure are…

A one dimensional non-equilibrium stochastic model is proposed where each site of the lattice is occupied by a particle, which may be of type A or B. The time evolution of the model occurs through three processes: autocatalytic generation…
We present a stochastic dynamics model of coupled evolution for the binary states of nodes and links in a complex network. In the context of opinion formation node states represent two possible opinions and link states a positive or…
