The stochastic addition of either vertices or connections in a network leads to the observation of the percolation transition, a structural change with the appearance of a connected component encompassing a finite fraction of the system.…
A phase-field approach describing the dynamics of a strained solid in contact with its melt is developed. By rigorous asymptotic analysis we show that the sharp-interface limit of this model recovers the continuum model equations for the…
By using our novel Grassmann formulation we study the phase transition of the spanning-hyperforest model of the k-uniform complete hypergraph for any k>= 2. The case k=2 reduces to the spanning-forest model on the complete graph. Different…
In the spherical Poisson Boolean model, one takes the union of random balls centred on the points of a Poisson process in Euclidean $d$-space with $d \geq 2$. We prove that whenever the radius distribution has a finite $d$-th moment, there…
In this work, we study a new model for continuum line-of-sight percolation in a random environment driven by the Poisson-Voronoi tessellation in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. The edges (one-dimensional facets, or simply 1-facets) of…
A hyperscaling relation for the critical exponents of absorbing phase transitions is tested in the bosonic pair contact process with diffusion. To this end spreading is considered, i.e. the time evolution out of an initial seed. It is shown…
We study the phase transitions of a random copolymer chain with quenched disorder. We apply a replica variational approach based on a Gaussian trial Hamiltonian in terms of the correlation functions of monomer Fourier coordinates. This…
This is a study of percolation in the hyperbolic plane and on regular tilings in the hyperbolic plane. The processes discussed include Bernoulli site and bond percolation on planar hyperbolic graphs, invariant dependent percolations on such…
We study oriented percolation on random causal triangulations, those are random planar graphs obtained roughly speaking by adding horizontal connections between vertices of an infinite tree. When the underlying tree is a geometric…
Spectroscopic calculations are carried out, for the description of the shape/phase transition in Pt nuclei in terms of the Interacting Boson Model (IBM) Hamiltonian derived from (constrained) Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) calculations with…
We study level-set percolation of the Gaussian free field on the infinite $d$-regular tree for fixed $d\geq 3$. Denoting by $h_\star$ the critical value, we obtain the following results: for $h>h_\star$ we derive estimates on conditional…
It is reported that a surface model of Polyakov strings undergoes a first-order phase transition between smooth and crumpled (or branched polymer) phases. The Hamiltonian of the model contains the Gaussian term and a deficit angle term…
A quantum phase transition is usually achieved by tuning physical parameters in a Hamiltonian at zero temperature. Here, we demonstrate that the ground state of a topological phase itself encodes critical properties of its transition to a…
We prove that the heavy clusters are indistinguishable for Bernoulli percolation on quasi-transitive nonunimodular graphs. As an application, we show that the uniqueness threshold of any quasi-transitive graph is also the threshold for…
The continuous quantum phase transition between noninteracting, time-reversal symmetric topological and trivial insulators in three dimensions is described by the massless Dirac fermion. We address the stability of this quantum critical…
We study a dependent site percolation model on the $n$-dimensional Euclidean lattice where, instead of single sites, entire hyperplanes are removed independently at random. We extend the results about Bernoulli line percolation showing that…
We consider level-set percolation for the Gaussian free field on Z^d, with d bigger or equal to 3, and prove that there is a non-trivial critical level h_* such that for h > h_*, the excursion set above level h does not percolate, and for h…
The problem of deconfinement phases in strongly correlated systems is discussed. In space-time dimension $d=3+1$, a competition of confinement and Coulomb phases occurs, but in $d=2+1$ the confining phase dominates owing to monopole…
