We examine exhaustively the behavior of avalanches in critical height sandpile models based in two- and three-dimensional lattices of various topologies. We get that for two-dimensional lattices the spatial and temporal distributions…
The renormalization functions involved in the determination of the topological susceptibility in the SU(2) lattice gauge theory are extracted by direct measurements, without relying on perturbation theory. The determination exploits the…
A comprehensive analysis of tadpole-improved SU(2) lattice gauge theory is made. Simulations are done on isotropic and anisotropic lattices, with and without improvement. Two tadpole renormalization schemes are employed, one using average…
We establish quantitative spherical shape theorems for rotor-router aggregation and abelian sandpile growth on the graphical Sierpinski gasket ($SG$) when particles are launched from the corner vertex. In particular, the abelian sandpile…
Suppose $\Omega\subseteq\RR^d$ is a bounded and measurable set and $\Lambda \subseteq \RR^d$ is a lattice. Suppose also that $\Omega$ tiles multiply, at level $k$, when translated at the locations $\Lambda$. This means that the…
The Ablowitz-Ladik equations, hereafter called $AL_+$ and $AL_-$, are distinguished integrable discretizations of respectively the focusing and defocusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equations. In this paper we first study the modulation…
We solve the static isoperimetric problem underlying the Mandelstam-Tamm bound. Among one-dimensional confining potentials with a fixed spectral gap, we prove that the harmonic trap is the unique maximizer of the ground-state position…
An accurate and easily extendable method to deal with lattice dynamics of solids is offered. It is based on first-principles molecular dynamics simulations and provides a consistent way to extract the best possible harmonic - or higher…
In this paper we study the scattering length for positive additive functionals of symmetric stable processes on ${\bf R}^d$. The additive functionals considered here are not necessarily continuous. We prove that the semi-classical limit of…
The spectra of particles in disordered lattices can either be completely extended or localized or can be intermediate which hosts both the localized and extended states separated from each other. In this work, however, we show that in the…
The main result of this paper shows that "test configurations" give new lower bounds on the $L^{2}$ norm of the scalar curvature on a Kahler manifold. This is closely analogous to the analysis of the Yang-Mills functional over Riemann…
Abelian sandpile models, both deterministic, such as the Bak, Tang, Wiesenfeld (BTW) model [P. Bak, C. Tang and K. Wiesenfeld, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 59}, 381 (1987)], and stochastic, such as the Manna model [S.S. Manna, J. Phys. A {\bf 24},…
The Abelian Sandpile Model is a discrete diffusion process defined on graphs (Dhar \cite{DD90}, Dhar et al. \cite{DD95}) which serves as the standard model of self-organized criticality. The transience class of a sandpile is defined as the…
We calculate the maximum Lyapunov exponent of the motion in the separatrix map's chaotic layer, along with calculation of its width, as functions of the adiabaticity parameter $\lambda$. The separatrix map is set in natural variables; and…
The abelian sandpile model in two dimensions does not show the type of critical behavior familar from equilibrium systems. Rather, the properties of the stationary state follow from the condition that an avalanche started at a distance r…
We analyze the Bethe ansatz equations describing the complete spectrum of the transition matrix of the partially asymmetric exclusion process on a finite lattice and with the most general open boundary conditions. We extend results obtained…
Recently it was shown that self-organized criticality is an important ingredient of the dynamics of cumulus clouds (Physical Review E, 103(5), p.052106, 2021). Here we introduce a new algorithm to simulate cumulus clouds in two-dimensional…
A periodically driven lattice with two commensurate spatial periodicities is found to exhibit super metallic states characterized by enhancements in wave packet spreading and entropy. These resonances occur at critical values of parameters…
Singularities, such as poles and branch points, play a crucial role in investigating the analytic properties of scattering amplitudes that inform new computational techniques. In this note, we point out that scattering amplitudes can also…
Let $F:\mathbb Z^2\to \mathbb Z$ be the pointwise minimum of several linear functions. The theory of smoothing of integer-valued superharmonic function allows us to prove that under certain conditions there exists the pointwise minimal…
