We study a quasi-statically driven random field Ising model (RFIM) at zero temperature with interactions mediated by the long-range anisotropic Eshelby kernel. Analogously to amorphous solids at their yielding transition, and differently…
This thesis investigates critical phenomena and equilibrium states in various stochastic models through three interconnected studies. In the first chapter, we analyze the Activated Random Walk model on a one-dimensional ring in the…
Percolation theory has become a useful tool for the analysis of large-scale wireless networks. We investigate the fundamental problem of characterizing the critical density $\lambda_c^{(d)}$ for $d$-dimensional Poisson random geometric…
The critical properties of renormalizable O(N) field models are determined by means of the high order ($\geq 18$) behaviour of convergent linked cluster series on finite temperature lattices. It is shown that those models become weakly…
We study FK-percolation where the edge parameters are chosen as independent random variables in the near-critical regime. We show that if these parameters satisfy a natural centering condition around the critical point, then the quenched…
Dynamic fragmentation simulations are essential for predicting material response at high strain rates, yet explicit dynamic simulations that combine an extrinsic cohesive-zone model (CZM) with penalty-based contact often exhibit severe…
Near a quantum critical point (QCP) in a metal, strong Fermion-Fermion interactions mediated by soft collective bosons give rise to two competing phenomena: non-Fermi liquid behavior and superconductivity that deviates from conventional BCS…
Two versions of the susceptible-infected-susceptible epidemic model, which have different transmission rules, are analysed. Both models are considered on a weighted network to simulate a mitigation in the connection between the individuals.…
We describe a chain of unidirectionally coupled adaptive excitable elements slowly driven by a stochastic process from one end and open at the other end, as a minimal toy model of unresolved irreducible uncertainty in a system performing…
An investigation of the weak coupling region of 2D SU(N) spin models is presented. An expansion of the free energy and correlation functions at low temperatures is performed in the link formulation with periodic boundary conditions (BC).…
The soft wall model is extended to accommodate at the same time (i) approximately linear $\rho$ meson Regge trajectories at zero temperature $T$, (ii) various options for the thermodynamics with reference to QCD (cross over or second-order…
Electromagnetic (EM) wave scattering in electrically large, irregularly shaped, environments is a common phenomenon. The deterministic, or first principles, study of this process is usually computationally expensive and the results exhibit…
In recent studies, new measures of complexity for nonlinear systems have been proposed based on probabilistic grounds, as the LMC measure (Phys. Lett. A {\bf 209} (1995) 321) or the SDL measure (Phys. Rev. E {\bf 59} (1999) 2). All these…
We use numerical linked cluster expansions to study thermodynamic properties of the two-dimensional spin-1/2 Ising, XY, and Heisenberg models with bimodal random-bond disorder on the square and honeycomb lattices. In all cases, the…
We study the dynamic response of driven systems in the presence of quenched disorder. A simple heuristic model for hysteretic creep of elastic manifolds is proposed and evaluated numerically. It provides a qualitative explanation of the…
We consider a random geometric graph with vertices sampled from a probability measure supported on $\mathbb R^d$, and study its connectivity. We show the graph is typically disconnected, unless the sampling density has superexponential…
We compare theoretical results for the characteristic frequency of the Rayleigh peak calculated in one-loop order within the field theoretical method of the renormalization group theory with experiments and other theoretical results. Our…
We study the critical behavior and the ground-state entanglement of a large class of $\mathrm{su}(1|1)$ supersymmetric spin chains with a general (not necessarily monotonic) dispersion relation. We show that this class includes several…
Regularly varying stochastic processes are able to model extremal dependence between process values at locations in random fields. We investigate the empirical extremogram as an estimator of dependence in the extremes. We provide conditions…
We consider generic finite range percolation models on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ under a high temperature assumption (exponential decay of connection probabilities and exponential ratio weak mixing). We prove that the rate of decay of point-to-point…
