The symmetry properties which determine the critical exponents and universality classes in conservative sandpile models are identified. This is done by introducing a set of models, including all possible combinations of abelian vs.…
Abelian sandpile models, both deterministic, such as the Bak, Tang, Wiesenfeld (BTW) model [P. Bak, C. Tang and K. Wiesenfeld, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 59}, 381 (1987)], and stochastic, such as the Manna model [S.S. Manna, J. Phys. A {\bf 24},…
We perform extensive numerical simulations of different versions of the sandpile model. We find that previous claims about universality classes are unfounded, since the method previously employed to analyze the data suffered a systematic…
The avalanche statistics in a stochastic sandpile model where toppling takes place with a probability p is investigated. The limiting case p=1 corresponds to the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld (BTW) model with deterministic toppling rule. Based on the…

We prove that the Abelian sandpile model on a random binary and binomial tree, as introduced in \cite{rrs}, is not critical for all branching probabilities $p<1$; by estimating the tail of the annealed survival time of a random walk on 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…
Directed sandpile models with different toppling rules are studied by means of numerical simulations in two dimensions, with the purpose of determining the different universality classes. It is concluded that the random-threshold directed…
Since Ref. [1] shows the emergence of non-Abelian fusion rules in some examples of a class of Abelian models, but does not prove whether these rules also exist in other cases, the purpose of this paper is to present such proof emphasizing…
We perform large scale numerical simulations of a directed version of the two-state stochastic sandpile model. Numerical results show that this stochastic model defines a new universality class with respect to the Abelian directed sandpile.…
The Abelian Sandpile Model is a cellular automaton whose discrete dynamics reaches an out-of-equilibrium steady state resembling avalanches in piles of sand. The fundamental moves defining the dynamics are encoded by the toppling rules. The…
A single sandpile model with quenched random toppling matrices captures the crucial features of different models of self-organized criticality. With symmetric matrices avalanche statistics falls in the multiscaling BTW universality class.…
We present a fixed energy sandpile (FES) model which, by increasing the initial energy,undergoes, at the level of individual configurations, a discontinuous transition.The model is obtained by modifying the toppling procedure in the BTW…
The onsets of toppling and dissipation in the BTW model are studied by computer simulation. The distributions of these two onset times and their dependences on the system size are also studied. Simple power law dependences of these two…

Kinetic self-avoiding trails are introduced and used to generate a substrate of randomly quenched flow vectors. Sandpile model is studied on such a substrate with asymmetric toppling matrices where the precise balance between the net…
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…
Very recently, increasing attention has been focused on non-Abelian topological charges, e.g. the quaternion group Q8. Different from Abelian topological band insulators, these systems involve multiple tangled bulk bandgaps and support…

We study critical properties of the continuous Abelian sandpile model with anisotropies in toppling rules that produce ordered patterns on it. Also we consider the continuous directed sandpile model perturbed by a weak quenched randomness…
