Despite decades of intense study, the mechanisms underlying the extraordinary dynamics of supercooled liquids as they approach the glass transition remain, at best, mis-characterized, and at worst, misunderstood. A long standing endeavor is…
We have generalized the idea of backbend in a nearest-neighbor oriented bond percolation process by considering a backbend sequence $\beta : \mathbb{Z}_+ \to \mathbb{Z}_+ \cup \{\infty\}$, and defining a $\beta$-backbend path from the…
We study percolation on the hierarchical lattice of order $N$ where the probability of connection between two points separated by distance $k$ is of the form $c_k/N^{k(1+\delta)},\; \delta >-1$. Since the distance is an ultrametric, there…

Hyperbolic lattices interpolate between finite-dimensional lattices and Bethe lattices and are interesting in their own right with ordinary percolation exhibiting not one, but two, phase transitions. We study four constraint percolation…
