The general framework for the renormalization group analysis of self-organized critical sandpile models is formulated. The usual real space renormalization scheme for lattice models when applied to nonequilibrium dynamical models must be…
Kinetic equations, which explicitly take into account the branching nature of sandpile avalanches, are derived. The dynamics of the sandpile model is described by the generating functions of a branching process. Having used the results…

The stationary state of stochastic processes such as reaction-diffusion systems can be related to the ground state of a suitably defined quantum Hamiltonian. Using this analogy, we investigate the applicability of a real space…
An abstract network approach is proposed for the description of the dynamics in reactive processes. The phase space of the variables (concentrations in reactive systems) is partitioned into a finite number of segments, which constitute the…
We explore in the mean-field approximation the robustness with respect to dissipation of self-organized criticality in sandpile models. To this end, we generalize a recently introduced self-organized branching process, and show that the…
With the help of a smooth scaling and coarse-graining approach of observables, developed recently by us in the context of so-called fluctuation operators (inspired by prior work of Verbeure et al) we perform a rigorous renormalisation group…
