This is a status report on a companion subject to extremal combinatorics, obtained by replacing extremality properties with emergent structure, `phases'. We discuss phases, and phase transitions, in large graphs and large permutations,…
We analyze a minimal model of a growing network. At each time step, a new vertex is added; then, with probability delta, two vertices are chosen uniformly at random and joined by an undirected edge. This process is repeated for t time…
We establish phase transitions for continuum Delaunay multi-type particle systems (continuum Potts or Widom-Rowlinson models) with a repulsive interaction between particles of different types. Our interaction potential depends solely on the…
We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process, a model in the KPZ universality class. We focus on the fluctuations of particle positions starting with certain deterministic initial conditions. For large time t, one has regions…
Random geometric graphs (RGG) can be formalized as hidden-variables models where the hidden variables are the coordinates of the nodes. Here we develop a general approach to extract the typical configurations of a generic hidden-variables…
We extend the Achlioptas model for the delay of criticality in the percolation problem. Instead of having a completely random connectivity pattern, we generalize the idea of the two-site probe in the Achlioptas model for connecting smaller…
Although it is well-known that some exponential family random graph model (ERGM) families exhibit phase transitions (in which small parameter changes lead to qualitative changes in graph structure), the behavior of other models is still…
We investigate variations of the well-known Achlioptas percolation problem, which uses the method of probing sites when building up a lattice system, or probing links when building a network, ultimately resulting in the delay of the…
We present and investigate an extension of the classical random graph to a general class of inhomogeneous random graph models, where vertices come in different types, and the probability of realizing an edge depends on the types of its…
Consider the balanced Ramsey game, in which a player has r colors and where in each step r random edges of an initially empty graph on n vertices are presented. The player has to immediately assign a different color to each edge and her…
In [Amir et al.], the authors consider the generalization $\Gor$ of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph process $G$, where instead of adding new edges uniformly, $\Gor$ gives a weight of size 1 to missing edges between pairs of isolated…
We study the relaxation dynamics of fully clustered networks (maximal number of triangles) to an unclustered state under two different edge dynamics---the double-edge swap, corresponding to degree-preserving randomization of the…
Continuous phase transitions in equilibrium statistical mechanics were successfully described 50 years ago with the development of the renormalization group framework. This framework was initially developed in the context of phase…
The $N$ vertices of a quantum random graph are each a circle independently punctured at Poisson points of arrivals, with parallel connections derived through for each pair of these punctured circles by yet another independent Poisson…
In this paper we consider a variant of the well-known Achlioptas process for graphs adapted to monotone Boolean functions. Fix a number of choices $r\in \mathbb N$ and a sequence of increasing functions $(f_n)_{n\ge 1}$ such that, for every…
The Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph is the fundamental random graph model. In this paper we consider its continuous-time version, where multi-edges and self-loops are also allowed. It is well-known that the sizes of its connected components…
Recently, we adapted random walk arguments based on work of Nachmias and Peres, Martin-L\"of, Karp and Aldous to give a simple proof of the asymptotic normality of the size of the giant component in the random graph $G(n,p)$ above the phase…
Consider a uniform rooted Cayley tree $T_{n}$ with $n$ vertices and let $m$ cars arrive sequentially, independently, and uniformly on its vertices. Each car tries to park on its arrival node, and if the spot is already occupied, it drives…
We reveal the continuous phase transition in anyonic-PT symmetric systems, contrasting with the discontinuous phase transition corresponding to the discrete (anti-) PT symmetry. The continuous phase transition originates from the continuity…
A random phase property establishing a link between quasi-one-dimensional random Schroedinger operators and full random matrix theory is advocated. Briefly summarized it states that the random transfer matrices placed into a normal system…
