We perform large-scale simulations of directed sandpile models with both deterministic and stochastic toppling rules. Our results show the existence of two distinct universality classes. We also provide numerical simulations of directed…

We present a "black box" proof of mean-field near-critical behaviour for a family of functions on $\mathbb Z^d$ (${d>2}$) satisfying a short list of assumptions. The functions represent two-point functions of a lattice statistical…

Increasing evidence suggests that active matter exhibits instances of mixed symmetry that cannot be fully described by either polar or nematic formalism. Here, we introduce a minimal model that integrates self-propulsion into the active…

Topological defects are fundamental to the collective dynamics of non-equilibrium systems and in active matter, mediating spontaneous flows, dynamic self-organization, and emergent pattern formation. Here, we reveal critical states in…

An anisotropy parameter $h$ in $(0,1]$ induces on $\mathbb{Q}_p^2$ a duality-compatible, two-scale filtration that collapses to one scale at the right endpoint. This filtration defines shell-uniform transition laws for hierarchical random…

We have numerically studied the trapping problem in a two-dimensional lattice where particles are continuously generated. We have introduced interaction between particles and directionality of their movement. This model presents a critical…

Self organisation provides an elegant explanation for how complex structures emerge and persist throughout nature. Surprisingly often, these structures exhibit remarkably similar scale-invariant properties. While this is sometimes captured…

We study branching processes in an i.i.d. random environment, where the associated random walk is of the oscillating type. This class of processes generalizes the classical notion of criticality. The main properties of such branching…

We consider the Activated Random Walk model on $\mathbb{Z}$. In this model, each particle performs a continuous-time simple symmetric random walk, and falls asleep at rate $\lambda$. A sleeping particle does not move but it is reactivated…

We use a phenomenological field theory, reflecting the symmetries and conservation laws of sandpiles, to compare the driven dissipative sandpile, widely studied in the context of self-organized criticality, with the corresponding…

A prototypical model of symmetry-broken active matter -- biased quorum-sensing active particles (bQSAPs) -- is used to extend notions of dynamic critical phenomena to the paradigmatic setting of driven transport, where characteristic…

We study a class of discrete-time random walks in $\mathbb{R}^d$ whose conditional drift decays polynomially in time and grows polynomially with the distance from the origin to the current position. This class is related to several models…
