The contact process is a non-equilibrium Hamiltonian model that, even in one dimension, lacks an exact solution and has been extensively studied via Monte Carlo simulations, both in steady-state and time-dependent scenarios. Although the…
We review recent progress in lattice QCD at finite density. The phase diagram of QCD and the equation of state at finite temperature and density are discussed. In particular, we focus on the critical point terminating a first order phase…
We consider the contact process with infection rate $\lambda$ on a random $(d+1)$-regular graph with $n$ vertices, $G_n$. We study the extinction time $\tau_{G_n}$ (that is, the random amount of time until the infection disappears) as $n$…
Using recently developed methods of character expansions we solve exactly in the large N limit a new two-matrix model of hermitean matrices A and B with the action S={1\over 2}(\tr A^2+\tr B^2)-{\alpha\over 4}(\tr A^4+\tr B^4) -{\beta\over…
We extend the inductive approach to the lace expansion, previously developed to study models with critical dimension 4, to be applicable more generally. In particular, the result of this note has recently been used to prove Gaussian…
We give a general existence result for interacting particle systems with local interactions and bounded jump rates but noncompact state space at each site. We allow for jump events at a site that affect the state of its neighbours. We give…
The interactions between a group of components are commonly studied in several areas of science (social science, biology, material science, complex dynamical systems, among others) using the methods of thermodynamics and statistical…
Contact processes play an important role in classical non-equilibrium dynamics, describing the spreading of diseases, the dynamics of earthquakes and forest fires, and the distribution of information through the internet. Here we show that…
This paper deals with a hyperbolic system of two nonlinear conservation laws, where the phase space contains two contact manifolds. The governing equations are modelling bidisperse suspensions, which consist of two types of small particles…
Higher-order topological phase as a generalization of Berry phase attracts an enormous amount of research. The current theoretical models supporting higher-order topological phases, however, cannot give the connection between lower and…
The very existence of a phase transition for spin glasses in an external magnetic field is controversial, even in high dimensions. We carry out massive simulations of the Ising spin-glass in a field, in six dimensions (which, according to…
A beautiful and intriguing relationship has recently been proposed to express the critical screening lengths associated with the apparition of new bound states for the two-dimensional statically screened Coulomb potential. Semiclassical…
Recent works have shown that the contact process running on the top of highly heterogeneous random networks is described by the heterogeneous mean-field theory. However, some important aspects as the transition point and strong corrections…
The two-dimensional contact process (CP) with a competitive dynamics proposed by Martins {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 84}, 011125(2011)] leads to the appearance of an unusual active asymmetric phase, in which the system sublattices are…
The low-energy theory of electrons interacting via repulsive short-range interactions on graphene's honeycomb lattice at half filling is presented. The exact symmetry of the Lagrangian with local quartic terms for the Dirac field dictated…
We study the dynamics of the contact-process, one of the simplest nonequilibrium stochastic processes, taking place on a scale-free network. We consider the network topology as annealed, i.e. all links are rewired at each microscopic time…
A system of hard rigid rods of length $k$ on hypercubic lattices is known to undergo two phases transitions when chemical potential is increased: from a low density isotropic phase to an intermediate density nematic phase, and on further…
We consider the contact process on the model of hyperbolic random graph, in the regime when the degree distribution obeys a power law with exponent $\chi \in(1,2)$ (so that the degree distribution has finite mean and infinite second…
We present an analysis of the classical contact process on scale-free networks. A mean-field study, both for finite and infinite network sizes, yields an absorbing-state phase transition at a finite critical value of the control parameter,…
We study the supercritical contact process on Galton-Watson trees and periodic trees. We prove that if the contact process survives weakly then it dominates a supercritical Crump-Mode-Jagers branching process. Hence the number of infected…
