In many interacting particle systems, relaxation to equilibrium is thought to occur via the growth of 'droplets', and it is a question of fundamental importance to determine the critical length at which such droplets appear. In this paper…

We study the dynamical large deviations (LD) of a class of one-dimensional kinetically constrained models whose (tilted) generators can be mapped into themselves via duality transformations. We consider four representative models in detail:…

We study a process termed "agglomerative percolation" (AP) in two dimensions. Instead of adding sites or bonds at random, in AP randomly chosen clusters are linked to all their neighbors. As a result the growth process involves a diverging…
We consider a spatial multi-type branching model in which individuals migrate in geographic space according to random walks and reproduce according to a state-dependent branching mechanism which can be sub-, super- or critical depending on…
The existence (or not) of infinite clusters is explored for two stochastic models of intersecting line segments in $d \ge 2$ dimensions. Salient features of the phase diagram are established in each case. The models are based on site…
We study, on a square lattice, an extension to fully coordinated percolation which we call iterated fully coordinated percolation. In fully coordinated percolation, sites become occupied if all four of its nearest neighbors are also…
A transition from asymmetric to symmetric patterns in time-dependent extended systems is described. It is found that one dimensional cellular automata, started from fully random initial conditions, can be forced to evolve into complex…
We consider a model of interface growth in two dimensions, given by a height function on the sites of the one--dimensional integer lattice. According to the discrete time update rule, the height above the site $x$ increases to the height…
