We discuss the order parameter correlation function in the vicinity of continuous phase transitions using a two-parameter scaling form G(k) = k_c^{-2} g(k\xi,k/k_c), where k is the wave-vector, \xi is the correlation length, and the…

We present a field theoretic renormalization group study for the critical behaviour of a uniformly driven diffusive system with quenched disorder, which is modelled by different kinds of potential barriers between sites. Due to their…

We derive a new renormalization group to calculate a non-trivial critical exponent of the divergent correlation length which gives a universality classification of essential singularities in infinite-order phase transitions. This method…

We consider the problem of high-dimensional misspecified phase retrieval. This is where we have an $s$-sparse signal vector $\mathbf{x}_*$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, which we wish to recover using sampling vectors…

Our model is a generalized linear programming relaxation of a much studied random K-SAT problem. Specifically, a set of linear constraints C on K variables is fixed. From a pool of n variables, K variables are chosen uniformly at random and…

Recently, the number of non-standard percolation models has proliferated. In all these models, there exists a phase transition at which long range connectivity is established, if local connectedness increases through a threshold $p_c$. In…

Second-order phase transitions are characterised by critical scaling and universality. The singular behaviour of thermodynamic quantities at the transition, in particular, is determined by critical exponents of the universality class of the…

We study slow variation (both spatial as well as temporal) of a parameter of a system in the vicinity of discontinuous quantum phase transitions, in particular, a discontinuity critical point (DCP) (or a first-order critical point). We…

In long-range percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, points $x$ and $y$ are connected by an edge with probability $1-\exp(-\beta\|x-y\|^{-d-\alpha})$, where $\alpha>0$ is fixed and $\beta \geq 0$ is a parameter. As $d$ and $\alpha$ vary, the model…

Universality, encompassing critical exponents, scaling functions, and dimensionless quantities, is fundamental to phase transition theory. In finite systems, universal behaviors are also expected to emerge at the pseudocritical point.…
