We numerically study avalanches in the two dimensional Abelian sandpile model in terms of a sequence of waves of toppling events. Priezzhev et al [PRL 76, 2093 (1996)] have recently proposed exact results for the critical exponents in this…

Reaction-diffusion systems, which consist of the reacting particles subject to diffusion process, constitute one of the common examples of non-linear statistical systems. In low space dimensions $d \leq 2$ the usual description by means of…
We present a valence bond theory of the spin-S quantum Heisenberg model. For nonfrustracting, local exchange and dimension d > 1, it predicts a resonating ground state with bond amplitudes h(r) ~ (a^2+r^2)^(-p/2) and decay exponent p=d+1.…

We demonstrate how to model the toppling activity in avalanching systems by stochastic differential equations (SDEs). The theory is developed as a generalization of the classical mean field approach to sandpile dynamics by formulating it as…
We study spatial clustering in a discrete, one-dimensional, stochastic, toy model of heavy particles in turbulence and calculate the spectrum of multifractal dimensions $D_q$ as functions of a dimensionless parameter, $\alpha$, that plays…
Superficial (two dimensional) crack patterns appear when a thin layer of material elastically attached to a substrate contracts. We study numerically the maturation process undergone by these crack patterns when they are allowed to adapt in…
We study the large deviation functions for two quantities characterizing the avalanche dynamics in the Raise and Peel model: the number of tiles removed by avalanches and the number of global avalanches extending through the whole system.…
We study the quantum phase transition in the two-dimensional random Ising model in a transverse field by Monte Carlo simulations. We find results similar to those known analytically in one-dimension: the dynamical exponent is infinite and,…
We introduce and study numerically a directed two-dimensional sandpile automaton with probabilistic toppling (probability parameter p) which provides a good laboratory to study both self-organized criticality and the far-from-equilibrium…
We investigate the depinning transition for driven interfaces in the random-field Ising model for various dimensions. We consider the order parameter as a function of the control parameter (driving field) and examine the effect of thermal…

Interfaces pinned by quenched disorder are often used to model jerky self-organized critical motion. We study static avalanches, or shocks, defined here as jumps between distinct global minima upon changing an external field. We show how…
