Percolation offers acknowledged models of random media when the relevant medium characteristics can be described as a binary feature. However, when considering habitat modeling in ecology, a natural constraint comes from nearest-neighbor…

Higher order interactions are increasingly recognised as a fundamental aspect of complex systems ranging from the brain to social contact networks. Hypergraph as well as simplicial complexes capture the higher-order interactions of complex…

Generative modeling is typically framed as learning mapping rules, but from an observer's perspective without access to these rules, the task becomes disentangling the geometric support from the probability distribution. We propose that…

Complex networks have been used intensively to investigate the flow and dynamics of many natural systems including the climate system. Here, we develop a percolation based measure, the order parameter, to study and quantify climate…

Earthshine observations offer a unique opportunity to study Earth as an exoplanet seen from the Moon. As the Sun-Earth-Moon geometry changes, Earth can be observed as a spatially unresolved exoplanet at different phase angles, providing…

We review the field theory approach to percolation processes. Specifically, we focus on the so-called simple and general epidemic processes that display continuous non-equilibrium active to absorbing state phase transitions whose asymptotic…

The model of a one-dimensional kinetic contact process with parallel update is studied by the Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling. The goal was to reveal the structure of the hidden percolative patterns (order parameters) in the…

These lectures give an introduction to the methods of conformal field theory as applied to deriving certain results in two-dimensional critical percolation: namely the probability that there exists at least one cluster connecting two…

Using renormalized field theory, we examine the dynamics of a growing surface, driven by an obliquely incident particle beam. Its projection on the reference (substrate) plane selects a ``parallel'' direction, so that the evolution equation…

We estimate locations of the regions of the percolation and of the non-percolation in the plane $(\lambda,\beta)$: the Poisson rate -- the inverse temperature, for interacted particle systems in finite dimension Euclidean spaces. Our…

Hyperuniformity, the suppression of density fluctuations at large length scales, is observed across a wide variety of domains, from cosmology to condensed matter and biological systems. Although the standard definition of hyperuniformity…

We study both numerically and analytically what happens to a random graph of average connectivity "alpha" when its leaves and their neighbors are removed iteratively up to the point when no leaf remains. The remnant is made of isolated…

Percolation is perhaps the simplest example of a process exhibiting a phase transition and one of the most studied phenomena in statistical physics. The percolation transition is continuous if sites/bonds are occupied independently with the…
