The creation of fractal clusters by diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) is studied by using iterated stochastic conformal maps following the method proposed recently by Hastings and Levitov. The object of interest is the function…

We employ the recently introduced conformal iterative construction of Diffusion Limited Aggregates (DLA) to study the multifractal properties of the harmonic measure. The support of the harmonic measure is obtained from a dynamical process…

In this paper, we analyze the scaling properties of a model that has as limiting cases the diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) and the ballistic aggregation (BA) models. This model allows us to control the radial and angular scaling of the…

Using stochastic conformal mapping techniques we study the patterns emerging from Laplacian growth with a power-law decaying threshold for growth $R_N^{-\gamma}$ (where $R_N$ is the radius of the $N-$ particle cluster). For $\gamma > 1$ the…

We introduce a lattice gas model of cluster growth via the diffusive aggregation of particles in a closed system obeying a local, deterministic, microscopically reversible dynamics. This model roughly corresponds to placing the irreversible…

Diffusion limited aggregation is studied from the perspective of computational complexity. A parallel algorithm is exhibited that requires a number of steps that scales as the depth of the tree defined by the cluster. The existence of this…

We consider the DLA process on a cylinder G x N. It is shown that this process "grows arms", provided that the base graph G has small enough mixing time. Specifically, if the mixing time of G is at most (log|G|)^(2-\eps), the time it takes…

Aggregation phenomena are ubiquitous in nature, encompassing out-of-equilibrium processes of fractal pattern formation, important in many areas of science and technology. Despite their simplicity, foundational models such as…

Cylindrical lattice Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA), with a narrow width N, is solved using a Markovian matrix method. This matrix contains the probabilities that the front moves from one configuration to another at each growth step,…

In analogy to recent results on non-universal roughening in surface growth [Lam and Sander, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 69}, 3338 (1992)], we propose a variant of diffusion-limited aggregation ($DLA$) in which the radii of the particles are…

We discuss the scaling of characteristic lengths in diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) clusters in light of recent developments using conformal maps. We are led to the conjecture that the apparently anomalous scaling of lengths is due to…

We consider Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) in a two-dimensional wedge. We prove that if the angle of the wedge is smaller than $\pi/4$, there is some $a>2$ such that almost surely, for all $R$ large enough, after time $R^a$ all new…
