We study long-range Bernoulli percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ in which each two vertices $x$ and $y$ are connected by an edge with probability $1-\exp(-\beta \|x-y\|^{-d-\alpha})$. It is a theorem of Noam Berger (CMP, 2002) that if…
We present a novel method to estimate the multifractal spectrum of point distributions. The method incorporates two motivated criteria (barycentric pivot point selection and non-overlapping coverage) in order to reduce edge effects, improve…
We investigate the properties of a two-state sandpile model subjected to a confining potential in two dimensions. From the microdynamical description, we derive a diffusion equation, and find a stationary solution for the case of a…

This study proposes a new analytical model for grain boundary pinning by second phase particles in two-dimensional polycrystals. This approach not only considers how particles impede grain growth, but also elucidates their role in…
Internal DLA (IDLA) is an internal aggregation model in which particles perform random walks from the origin, in turn, and stop upon reaching an unoccupied site. Levine and Peres showed that, when particles start instead from fixed…
A new model of Laplacian stochastic growth is formulated using conformal mappings. The model describes two growth regimes, stable and turbulent, separated by a sharp phase transition. The first few Fourier components of the mapping define…
Off-lattice DLA clusters grown with different levels of noise reduction are found to be consistent with a simple fractal fixed point. Cluster shapes and their ensemble variation exhibit a dominant slowest correction to scaling, and this…
We develop the skeleton algorithm to define the number of main branches $N_b$ of diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) clusters. The skeleton algorithm provides a systematic way to remove dangling side branches of the DLA cluster and has…
We study the spreading dynamics on graphs with a power law degree distribution p_k ~ k^-gamma with 2<gamma<3, as an example of a branching process with diverging reproductive number. We provide evidence that the divergence of the second…
The conserved Sine-Gordon Equation with nonconserved shot noise is used to model homoepitaxial crystal growth. With increasing coverage the renormalized pinning potential changes from strong to weak. This is interpreted as a transition from…
The apparatus of correlation gamma function (\Gamma*(r)) is used to analyze volume-limited samples from the DR4 Main Galaxy Sample of the SDSS survey with the aim of determining the characteristic scales of galaxy clustering. Up to 20…
We present the first cosmological measurement derived from a galaxy density field subject to a `clipping' transformation. By enforcing an upper bound on the galaxy number density field in the Galaxy and Mass Assembly survey (GAMA),…
The dynamics of linear stochastic growth equations on growing substrates is studied. The substrate is assumed to grow in time following the power law $t^\gamma$, where the growth index $\gamma$ is an arbitrary positive number. Two different…
We analyze the scattering properties of a periodic one-dimensional system at criticality represented by the so-called power-law banded random matrix model at the metal insulator transition. We focus on the scaling of Wigner delay times…
A scaling theory is developed for diffusion-limited cluster aggregation in a porous medium, where the primary particles and clusters stick irreversibly to the walls of the pore space as well as to each other. Three scaling regimes are…
We study the scaling limits of three different aggregation models on Z^d: internal DLA, in which particles perform random walks until reaching an unoccupied site; the rotor-router model, in which particles perform deterministic analogues of…
Motivated by aggregation phenomena in gliding bacteria, we study collective motion in a twodimensional model of active, self-propelled rods interacting through volume exclusion. In simulations with individual particles, we find that…
In this paper, we deduce a macroscopic strain gradient theory for plasticity from a model of discrete dislocations. We restrict our analysis to the case of a cylindrical symmetry for the crystal in exam, so that the mathematical formulation…
We investigate disorder relevance for the pinning of a renewal when the law of the random environment is in the domain of attraction of a stable law with parameter $\gamma \in (1,2)$. Assuming that the renewal jumps have power-law decay, we…
