Criticality in models of correlated electrons emerges in proximity of a low-temperature singularity in a two-particle Green function. Such singularities are generally related to a symmetry breaking of the one-particle self-energy. A…

We study the transient regime of type-II biophysical neuron models and determine the scaling behavior of relaxation times $\tau$ near but below the repetitive firing critical current, $\tau \simeq C (I_c-I)^{-\Delta}$. For both the…
A `persistence exponent' $\theta$ is defined for nonequilibrium critical phenomena. It describes the probability, $p(t) \sim t^{-\theta}$, that the global order parameter has not changed sign in the time interval $t$ following a quench to…

The self-similarity in space and time (hereafter self-similarity), either deterministic or statistical, is characterized by similarity exponents and a function of scaled variable, called the scaling function. In the present paper, we…

Two-scalar theories at high temperature exhibit a rich spectrum of possible critical behaviour, with a second or first order phase transition. In the vicinity of the critical temperature one can observe critical exponents, tricritical…
The scaling properties of a phase-ordering system with a conserved order parameter are studied. The theory developed leads to scaling functions satisfying certain general properties including the Tomita sum rule. The theory also gives good…
We prove $|x|^{-2}$ decay of the critical two-point function for the continuous-time weakly self-avoiding walk on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, in the upper critical dimension $d=4$. This is a statement that the critical exponent $\eta$ exists and is…
