Motivated by the coincidence of topological entropies the connection between abelian sandpiles and harmonic models was established by K. Schmidt and E. Verbitskiy (2009). The dissipative sandpile models were shown to be symbolic…
A new sandpile model is studied in which bonds of the system are inhibited for activity after a certain number of transmission of grains. This condition impels an unstable sand column to distribute grains only to those neighbours which have…
Biggs proposed the sandpile group of certain modified wheel graphs for cryptosystems relying on the difficulty of the discrete logarithm problem. Blackburn and independently Shokrieh showed that the discrete logarithm problem is efficiently…
We study the Abelian sandpile model (ASM), a process where grains of sand are placed on a graph's vertices. When the number of grains on a vertex is at least its degree, one grain is distributed to each neighboring vertex. This model has…
We study universality classes and crossover behaviors in non-Abelian directed sandpile models, in terms of the metastable pattern analysis. The non-Abelian property induces spatially correlated metastable patterns, characterized by the…
We give a general description of the structure of a discrete double groupoid (with an extra, quite natural, filling condition) in terms of groupoid factorizations and groupoid 2-cocycles with coefficients in abelian group bundles. Our…
We study the Chow group of $0$-cycles on the product of elliptic curves over a $p$-adic field. For this abelian variety, it is decided that the structure of the image of the Albanese kernel by the cycle class map.
We investigate the avalanche dynamics of the abelian sandpile model on arbitrarily large balls of the expanded cactus graph (the Cayley graph of the free product $\mathbb{Z}_3 * \mathbb{Z}_2$). We follow the approach of Dhar and Majumdar…
With a toppling rule which generates metastable sites, we explore the properties of a gradient-driven sandpile that is minimally perturbed at one boundary. In two dimensions we find that the transport of grains takes place along deep…
A directed dissipative sandpile model is studied in the two-dimension. Numerical results indicate that the long time steady states of this model are critical when grains are dropped only at the top or, everywhere. The critical behaviour is…
The height probabilities for the recurrent configurations in the Abelian Sandpile Model on the square lattice have analytic expressions, in terms of multidimensional quadratures. At first, these quantities have been evaluated numerically…
We study the density of periodic configurations for shift spaces defined on (the Cayley graph of) a finitely generated group. We prove that in the case of a full shift on a residually finite group and in that of a group shift space on an…
Rotational constraint representing a local external bias generally has non-trivial effect on the critical behavior of lattice statistical models in equilibrium critical phenomena. In order to study the effect of rotational bias in a out of…
We study discrete Laplacians on two-dimensional lattices under modular iterations, focusing on the emergence of nontrivial large-scale patterns. While purely binary or constant modular sequences quickly collapse into strict periodicity, the…
We define a new version of sandpile model which is very similar to Abelian Sandpile Model (ASM), but the height variables are continuous ones. With the toppling rule we define in our model, we show that the model can be mapped to ASM, so…
This paper is about cubic sand grains moving around on nicely packed columns in one dimension (the physical sand pile is two dimensional, but the support of sand columns is one dimensional). The Kadanoff Sand Pile Model is a discrete…
The main purpose of the present paper is to establish a link between quadrature surfaces (potential theoretic concept) and sandpile dynamics (Laplacian growth models). For this aim, we introduce a new model of Laplacian growth on the…
We introduce a sandpile model where, at each unstable site, all grains are transferred randomly to downstream neighbors. The model is local and conservative, but not Abelian. This does not appear to change the universality class for the…
Tilings of the plane resemble the simplicial and other complexes from algebraic topology, but have not been studied from this perspective. We construct finite categories corresponding to polygons with labeled directed edges, and introduce…
Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a properly face 2-coloured (say black and white) \break piecewise-linear triangulation of the sphere with vertex set $V$. Consider the abelian group $\mathcal{A}_W$ generated by the set $V$, with relations $r+c+s=0$ for…
