We establish a connection between percolation on the Cayley graphs of a group and the dynamical diversity of cellular automata on that group. Specifically, we demonstrate that Gilman's dichotomy between equicontinuity and sensitivity with…
In this paper we consider kinetically constrained models (KCM) on $\mathbb Z^2$ with general update families $\mathcal U$. For $\mathcal U$ belonging to the so-called "critical class" our focus is on the divergence of the infection time of…
The class of critical bootstrap percolation models in two dimensions was recently introduced by Bollob\'as, Smith and Uzzell, and the critical threshold for percolation was determined up to a constant factor for all such models by the…
We study the $N=3$ case of the $CP^{N-1}$ model, which is a field theory of $N$ complex scalars in $3d$ coupled to an Abelian gauge field with $SU(N) \times U(1)$ global symmetry. Recent evidence suggests the $N=2$ theory is not critical,…
Classical $(1+1)D$ cellular automata, as for instance Domany-Kinzel cellular automata, are paradigmatic systems for the study of non-equilibrium phenomena. Such systems evolve in discrete time-steps, and are thus free of time-discretisation…
We rigorously prove a form of disorder-resistance for a class of one-dimensional cellular automaton rules, including some that arise as boundary dynamics of two-dimensional solidification rules. Specifically, when started from a random…
Consider a $p$-random subset $A$ of initially infected vertices in the discrete cube $[L]^d$, and assume that the neighbourhood of each vertex consists of the $a_i$ nearest neighbours in the $\pm e_i$-directions for each $i \in \{1,2,\dots,…
Majority bootstrap percolation is a model of infection spreading in networks. Starting with a set of initially infected vertices, new vertices become infected once half of their neighbours are infected. Balogh, Bollob\'{a}s and Morris…
An introduction to cellular automata (both deterministic and probabilistic) with examples. Definition of deterministic automata, dynamical properties, damage spreading and Lyapunov exponents; probabilistic automata and Markov processes,…
Bootstrap percolation is an often used model to study the spread of diseases, rumors, and information on sparse random graphs. The percolation process demonstrates a critical value such that the graph is either almost completely affected or…
Consider a $p$-random subset $A$ of initially infected vertices in the discrete cube $[L]^3$, and assume that the neighbourhood of each vertex consists of the $a_i$ nearest neighbours in the $\pm e_i$-directions for each $i \in \{1,2,3\}$,…
Using a recently introduced algorithm for simulating percolation in microcanonical (fixed-occupancy) samples, we study the convergence with increasing system size of a number of estimates for the percolation threshold for an open system…
We introduce a model of random interlacements made of a countable collection of doubly infinite paths on Z^d, d bigger or equal to 3. A non-negative parameter u measures how many trajectories enter the picture. This model describes in the…
We discuss cellular automata over arbitrary finitely generated groups. We call a cellular automaton post-surjective if for any pair of asymptotic configurations, every pre-image of one is asymptotic to a pre-image of the other. The well…
We investigate cellular automata where some global quantity varies periodically or quasiperiodically with time. We find that these systems are highly predictable, and can be rather well described by a set of mean-field variables. We…
We consider bond and site Bernoulli Percolation in both the oriented and the non-oriented cases on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ and obtain rigorous upper bounds for the critical points in those models for every dimension $d \geq 3$.
We study charge fluctuations of a family of stochastic charged cellular automata away from the deterministic single-file limit and obtain the exact typical charge probability distributions, known to be anomalous, using hydrodynamics. The…
Consider a bipartite random geometric graph on the union of two independent homogeneous Poisson point processes in $d$-space, with distance parameter $r$ and intensities $\lambda,\mu$. For any $\lambda>0$ we consider the percolation…
The study of crossing probabilities - i.e. probabilities of existence of paths crossing rectangles - has been at the heart of the theory of two-dimensional percolation since its beginning. They may be used to prove a number of results on…
We present an exact solution of percolation in a generalized class of Watts-Strogatz graphs defined on a 1-dimensional underlying lattice. We find a non-classical critical point in the limit of the number of long-range bonds in the system…
