The spatial distribution of unvisited/persistent sites in $d=1$ $A+A\to\emptyset$ model is studied numerically. Over length scales smaller than a cut-off $\xi(t)\sim t^{z}$, the set of unvisited sites is found to be a fractal. The fractal…
Galaxies are not uniformly distributed in space. On large scales the Universe displays coherent structure, with galaxies residing in groups and clusters on scales of ~1-3 Mpc/h, which lie at the intersections of long filaments of galaxies…

At low $x$ a transition from a dilute parton gas to a dense parton liquid takes place. We derive geometrical scaling for the structure function in deep inelastic scattering at low $x$ from a diverging correlation length $\xi(x)$ of Wilson…
