We investigate the nature of randomness in disordered packings of frictional spheres. We calculate the entropy of 3D packings through the force and volume ensemble of jammed matter, a mesoscopic ensemble and numerical simulations using…
I comment on a recent paper by Ruiz and Tsallis [Phys. Lett. A 376, 2451 (2012)] claiming to have found a '$q$-exponential' generalization of the large deviation principle for strongly correlated random variables. I show that the basic…
We give sufficient conditions for the number rigidity of a translation invariant or periodic point process on $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $d=1,2$. That is, the probability distribution of the number of particles in a bounded domain $\Lambda…
In this note, we revisit the recent work of Diakonikolas, Gouleakis, Kane, Peebles, and Price (2021), and provide an alternative proof of their main result. Our argument does not rely on any specific property of Poisson random variables…
In a recent Letter Bray and Blythe have shown that the survival probability P(t) of an A particle diffusing with a diffusion coefficient D_A in a 1D system with diffusive traps B is independent of D_A in the asymptotic limit t \to \infty…
The article by Holmlid and Zeiner-Gundersen (2019, Physica Scripta, vol. 94, 075005) contains a number of claims that explicitly or implicitly contradict fundamental knowledge of modern science. Some can only be true if long held…
A numerical estimative error of the magnitude of the vacuum polarization effect due to electron-positron by a factor of $10^3$ in [PRL97(2006)100403; 269901(E)] invalidates the study carried in this work in its present context.
We consider the (unoriented) long-range percolation on Z^d in dimensions d\ge1, where distinct sites x,y\in Z^d get connected with probability p_{xy}\in[0,1]. Assuming p_{xy}=|x-y|^{-s+o(1)} as |x-y|\to\infty, where s>0 and |\cdot| is a…
The main focus of this article concerns the strongly percolative regime of the vacant set of random interlacements on $ \mathbb{Z}^d$, with $d \ge 3$. We investigate the occurrence in a large box of an excessive fraction of sites that get…
The differences in potential models used in our work and in the original paper of the authors of the Comment are discussed. The neglecting of simple rules of reaction calculations is shown as a possible origin of the defect in the…
We investigate the existence of random close and random loose packing limits in two-dimensional packings of monodisperse hard disks. A statistical mechanics approach-- based on several approximations to predict the probability distribution…
There exists an extensive and fairly comprehensive discrete analytic function theory which is based on circle packing. This paper introduces a faithful discrete analogue of the classical Schwarzian derivative to this theory and develops its…
This is a comment published in Phys. Rev. Lett. vol. 73, page 1051 (1994).
In this article we obtain uniform estimates on the absorption of Brownian motion by porous interfaces surrounding a compact set. An important ingredient is the construction of certain resonance sets, which are hard to avoid for Brownian…
We construct a point set in the Euclidean plane that elucidates the relationship between the fine-scale statistics of the fractional parts of $\sqrt n$ and directional statistics for a shifted lattice. We show that the randomly rotated, and…
We investigate certain large deviation asymptotics concerning random interlacements in Z^d, d bigger or equal to 3. We find the principal exponential rate of decay for the probability that the average value of some suitable non-decreasing…
The solutions analytically derived by Gloeckle et al. [Phys. Rev. C79, 044003 (2009)] for the three-dimensional wave function and on-shell t matrix in the case of scattering on a sharply cut-off Coulomb potential appear to be fallacious.…
We investigate the random close packing density, $\phi_\textrm{RCP}$, of polydisperse hard sphere systems using a theoretical framework based on the equilibrium model of crowding. We derive a closed-form solution for $\phi_\textrm{RCP}$ in…
We find that 2-dimensional (2-D) critical branched polymers with no impurities conclusively belong to the same universality class as 2-D random percolation clusters, although pure critical 3-D branched polymers do not belong to the 3-D…
We prove that for Bernoulli percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 2$, the percolation density is an analytic function of the parameter in the supercritical interval. For this we introduce some techniques that have further implications. In…
