We introduce a model in which cells belonging to two species proliferate with volume exclusion on an expanding surface. If the surface expands uniformly, we show that the domains formed by the two species present a critical behavior. We…
Continuous phase transitions are studied in a two dimensional nonequilibrium model with an infinite number of absorbing configurations. Spreading from a localized source is characterized by nonuniversal critical exponents, which vary…
Two dimensional condensed matter is realised in increasingly diverse forms that are accessible to experiment and of potential technological value. The properties of these systems are influenced by many length scales and reflect both generic…
We study the geometry of the critical clusters in fully coordinated percolation on the square lattice. By Monte Carlo simulations (static exponents) and normal mode analysis (dynamic exponents), we find that this problem is in the same…
We study critical spreading in a surface-modified directed percolation model in which the left- and right-most sites have different occupation probabilities than in the bulk. As we vary the probability for growth at an edge, the critical…
Field-road models are reaction-diffusion systems which have been recently introduced to account for the effect of a road on propagation phenomena arising in epidemiology and ecology. Such systems consist in coupling a classical Fisher-KPP…
We study extended infection fronts advancing over a spatially uniform susceptible population by solving numerically a diffusive Kermack McKendrick SIR model with a dichotomous spatially random transmission rate, in two dimensions. We find a…
Two-dimensional directed site percolation is studied in systems directed along the x-axis and limited by a free surface at y=\pm Cx^k. Scaling considerations show that the surface is a relevant perturbation to the local critical behaviour…
We analyse time evolution of spread complexity (SC) in an isolated interacting quantum many-body system when it is subjected to a sudden quench. The differences in characteristics of the time evolution of the SC for different time scales is…
In this article, we establish in the radial framework the $H^1$-scattering for the critical 2-D nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with exponential growth. Our strategy relies on both the a priori estimate derived in \cite{CGT, PV} and the…
We study the diffusion front for a natural two-dimensional model where many particles starting at the origin diffuse independently. It turns out that this model can be described using properties of near-critical percolation, and provides a…
We consider a generalised diffusion equation in two dimensions for modeling diffusion on a comb-like structures. We analyse the probability distribution functions and we derive the mean squared displacement in $x$ and $y$ directions.…
String propagation on a curved background defines an embedding problem of surfaces in differential geometry. Using this, we show that in a wide class of backgrounds the classical dynamics of the physical degrees of freedom of the string…
We develop a parameter-free model for the fragmentation of drops colliding off-center. The prediction is excellent over a wide range of liquid properties. The so-called stretching separation is attributed to the extension of the merged drop…
We study a spatial network model with exponentially distributed link-lengths on an underlying grid of points, undergoing a structural crossover from a random, Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi graph to a $2D$ lattice at the characteristic interaction…
The evolution of two grains, which lie on a substrate and are in contact with each other, can be roughly described by a model in which the exterior surfaces of the grains evolve by surface diffusion and the grain boundary, namely the…
Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with "large positive" scalar curvature. In this paper, we prove in a variety of cases that if $X$ "spreads" in $(n-2)$ directions {\it "distance-wise"}, then it {\it can't} much "spread" in…
We study the universal nature of global fluctuations in the critical regime of the spherical model by evaluating the exact distribution of the magnetization and its absolute value in the thermodynamical limit, in the presence of a conjugate…
Many stochastic complex systems are characterized by the fact that their configuration space doesn't grow exponentially as a function of the degrees of freedom. The use of scaling expansions is a natural way to measure the asymptotic growth…
We discuss quantum propagation of dipole excitations in two dimensions. This problem differs from the conventional Anderson localization due to existence of long range hops. We found that the critical wavefunctions of the dipoles always…
