In a coupled cavity QED network model, we study the transition from a localized super fluid like state to a delocalized Mott insulator like state, triggered by losses. Without cavity losses, the transition never takes place. Further, if one…
The spectral statistics of a Cayley-tree is numerically studied. The statistics are non-universal due to the high ratio of boundary sites. Once the boundary sites are connected to each other in a way that preserves the local structure of…
We study the asymmetric exclusion process on a regular Cayley tree with arbitrary co-ordination number. In this model particles can enter the system only at the parent site and exit from one of the sites at the last level. In the bulk they…

Active matter systems comprise self-propelled particles that move on a substrate while leaving chemical trails that influence other particles through chemotaxis (e.g., slime-depositing bacteria). Orientational chemotaxis manifests as a…
Although the title seems self-contradictory, it does not contain a misprint. The model we study is a seemingly minor modification of the "true self-avoiding walk" (TSAW) model of Amit, Parisi, and Peliti in two dimensions. The walks in it…
We study the high-dimensional properties of an invading front in a disordered medium with random pinning forces. We concentrate on interfaces described by bounded slope models belonging to the quenched KPZ universality class. We find a…
