In this work we introduce the discrete-space broken line process (with discrete and continues parameter values) and derive some of its properties. We explore polygonal Markov fields techniques developed by Arak-Surgailis. The discrete…

A possible mechanism of superdiffusion of ultra-cold atoms in a one-dimensional polarization optical lattice, observed experimentally in [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{108}, 093002 (2012)], is suggested. The analysis is based on a consideration…

We investigate the \emph{last passage percolation} problem on transitive tournaments, in the case when the edge weights are independent Bernoulli random variables. Given a transitive tournament on $n$ nodes with random weights on its edges,…

Jacobson et al. [JKSH13] hypothesized that the local coherency of the generalized winding number function could be used to correctly determine consistent facet orientations in polygon meshes. We report on an approach to consistently…

This is a short survey of work on percolation and first-passage percolation since the publication (in 1996 and 1984, respectively) of the two authors' Saint-Flour notes on these topics.

In recent years polymer translocation, i.e., transport of polymeric molecules through nanometer-sized pores and channels embedded in membranes, has witnessed strong advances. It is now possible to observe single-molecule polymer dynamics…

This note was motivated by natural questions related to oriented percolation on a layered environment that introduces long range dependence. As a convenient tool, we are led to deal with questions on the strict decrease of the percolation…

We study the Directed Polymer model subject to a particular form of disorder, $\eta(x,t)=\eta_X(x) \eta_T(t)$, recently proposed in biological applications. We find that two new universality classes arise, depending on the the lattice…

The coherent superposition of orthogonal modes can result in transverse offsets, variations of the Rayleigh length and a reduction of the beam quality factor of the coherent sum of modes in comparison to the incoherent sum. Relations for…

Geodesic coalescence, or the tendency of geodesics to merge together, is a hallmark phenomenon observed in a variety of planar random geometries involving a random distortion of the Euclidean metric. As a result of this, the union of…

For $\gamma \in (0,2)$, we define a weak $\gamma$-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) metric to be a function $h\mapsto D_h$ which takes in an instance of the planar Gaussian free field (GFF) and outputs a metric on the plane satisfying a…

Percolation and jamming phenomena are investigated for anisotropic sequential deposition of dimers (particles occupying two adjacent adsorption sites) on a square lattice. The influence of dimer alignment on the electrical conductivity was…

For the first time, a next-to-leading BFKL study of the cross section and azimuthal decorrellation of Mueller Navelet jets is performed, i.e. including next-to-leading corrections to the Green's function as well as next-to-leading…

The directed bond percolation is a paradigmatic model in nonequilibrium statistical physics. It captures essential physical information on the nature of continuous phase transition between active and absorbing states. In this paper, we…

We suggest that highly conducting oriented polymers with a fibril structure can be modeled by a regular lattice of disordered metallic wires with a random first-neighbor interwire coupling which mimics the cross-links between fibrils. We…

Directed percolation is one of the generic universality classes for dynamic processes. We study the crossover from isotropic to directed percolation by representing the combined problem as a random cluster model, with a parameter $r$…

Absorbing phase transition in restricted exclusion processes are characterized by simple integer exponents. We show that this critical behaviour flows to the directed percolation (DP) universality class when particle conservation is broken…

We comment on a recent paper by All\`es et al.

We celebrate the 50th anniversary of one the most classical models in probability theory. In this survey, we describe the main results of first passage percolation, paying special attention to the recent burst of advances of the past 5…

While classical percolation is well understood, percolation effects in randomly packed or jammed structures are much less explored. Here we investigate both experimentally and theoretically the electrical percolation in a binary composite…
