It has been shown in [1] that a class of restricted spin foam models can feature a reduced spectral dimension of space-time. However, it is still an open question how curvature affects the flow of the spectral dimension. To answer this…

Local time is the measure of how much time a random walk has visited a given position. In multiple scattering media, where waves are diffuse, local time measures the sensitivity of the waves to the local medium's properties. Local…

We study spatial permutations with cycle weights that are bounded or slowly diverging. We show that a phase transition occurs at an explicit critical density. The long cycles are macroscopic and their cycle lengths satisfy a…
