Motivated by critical planar percolation, we investigate a ``backbone'' event of planar Brownian motion, i.e.~the existence of two disjoint subpaths on the Brownian trajectory connecting the $\varepsilon$-neighborhood of the starting point…

In a recent article, one of the authors used $c=0$ logarithmic conformal field theory to predict crossing-probability formulas for percolation clusters inside a hexagon with free boundary conditions. In this article, we verify these…

The orthant model is a directed percolation model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, in which all clusters are infinite. We prove a sharp threshold result for this model: if $p$ is larger than the critical value above which the cluster of $0$ is contained…

We consider percolation on the discrete torus $\mathbb{Z}_n^d$ at $p_c(\mathbb{Z}^d)$, the critical value for percolation on the corresponding infinite lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$, and within the scaling window around it. We assume that $d$ is a…

The double dimer model is defined as the superposition of two independent uniformly distributed dimer covers of a graph. Its configurations can be viewed as disjoint collections of self-avoiding loops. Our first result is that in…

Randomly packing spheres of equal size into a container consistently results in a static configuration with a density of ~64%. The ubiquity of random close packing (RCP) rather than the optimal crystalline array at 74% begs the question of…

Using Brownian vibrators, where single particles can undergo Brownian motion under vibration, we experimentally investigated self-organized structures and dynamics of quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2d) granular materials with volume fractions…

For ordinary (independent) percolation on a large class of lattices it is well known that below the critical percolation parameter $p_c$ the cluster size distribution has exponential decay and that power-law behavior of this distribution…

We analyze the geometry of scaling limits of near-critical 2D percolation, i.e., for $p=p_c+\lambda\delta^{1/\nu}$, with $\nu=4/3$, as the lattice spacing $\delta \to 0$. Our proposed framework extends previous analyses for $p=p_c$, based…

Observations indicate that the fraction of potential binary star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds is about 10%. In contrast, it is widely accepted that the binary cluster frequency in the Galaxy disk is much lower. Here we investigate the…

We consider loop ensembles on random trees. The loops are induced by a Poisson process of links sampled on the underlying tree interpreted as a metric graph. We allow two types of links, crosses and double bars. The crosses-only case…

By using Monte Carlo numerical simulation, this work investigates the phase behavior of systems of hard infinitesimally-thin circular arcs, from an aperture angle $\theta \rightarrow 0$ to an aperture angle $\theta \rightarrow 2 \pi$, in…

We consider critical oriented Bernoulli percolation on the square lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We prove a Russo-Seymour-Welsh type result which allows us to derive several new results concerning the critical behavior: - We establish that the…

The concept of midpoint percolation has recently been applied to characterize the double percolation transitions in negatively curved structures. Regular $d$-dimensional hypercubic lattices are in the present work investigated using the…

We consider the model of a directed polymer in a random environment defined on the infinite cluster of supercritical Bernoulli bond percolation in dimensions $d \geq 3$. For this model, it was proved in arXiv:2205.06206 that for almost…

We calculate the distribution of the size of the percolating cluster on a tree in the subcritical, critical and supercritical phase. We do this by exploiting a mapping between continuum trees and Brownian excursions, and arrive at a…

Percolation in systems made up of randomly placed impermeable grains is often examined in the context of system spanning clusters of connected solids forming above a relatively low critical grain density $\rho_{c1}$ or networks of…

We report on an extensive series of numerical experiments of binary--binary scattering, analysing the cross--section for close approach during interactions for a range of hard binary parameters of interest in globular cluster cores. We…

It has been recently understood (arXiv:1212.2885, arXiv:1310.4764, arXiv:1410.0605) that for a general class of percolation models on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ satisfying suitable decoupling inequalities, which includes i.a.\ Bernoulli percolation,…

We introduce and compute the generalized disconnection exponents $\eta_\kappa(\beta)$ which depend on $\kappa\in(0,4]$ and another real parameter $\beta$, extending the Brownian disconnection exponents (corresponding to $\kappa=8/3$)…
