The local persistence R(t), defined as the proportion of the system still in its initial state at time t, is measured for the Bak--Sneppen model. For 1 and 2 dimensions, it is found that the decay of R(t) depends on one of two classes of…
Simulational studies of spin glasses in the last decade have focussed on the so-called replicon exponent $\alpha$ as a means of determining whether the low-temperature phase of spin glasses is described by the replica symmetry breaking…
Periodic boundary conditions have not a unique implementation in magnetic systems where all spins interact with each other through a power law decaying interaction of the form $1/r^\alpha$, $r$ being the distance between spins. In this work…
The persistence behavior for fluctuating steps on the $Si(111)$ $(\sqrt3 \times \sqrt3)R30^{0} - Al$ surface was determined by analyzing time-dependent STM images for temperatures between 770 and 970K. The measured persistence probability…
Motivated by certain problems of statistical physics we consider a stationary stochastic process in which deterministic evolution is interrupted at random times by upward jumps of a fixed size. If the evolution consists of linear decay, the…
Thermodynamic and dynamical properties of systems with long range pairwise interactions (LRI) which decay as 1/r^{d+\sigma} at large distances r in $d$ dimensions are reviewed in these Notes. Two broad classes of such systems are…
We show that the probability, P_0(l), that the height of a fluctuating (d+1)-dimensional interface in its steady state stays above its initial value up to a distance l, along any linear cut in the d-dimensional space, decays as P_0(l) \sim…
We study the Persistence properties of the T=0 coarsening dynamics of one dimensional $q$-state Potts model using a modified mean-field approximation (MMFA). In this approximation, the spatial correlations between the interfaces separating…
We introduce the technique of aspect-ratio scaling to study the scale-dependence of interfacial energies in Ising spin glasses, and we show how one can use it to determine the stiffness exponent $\theta$ in a clean way, with results that…
We investigate the kinetics of the $A+B \to 0$ reaction with long-range attractive interaction $V(r) \sim -r^{-2\sigma}$ between $A$ and $B$ or with the drift velocity $v \sim r^{-\sigma}$ in one dimension, where $r$ is the closest distance…
The present review is devoted to the problems of finite-size scaling due to the presence of long-range interaction decaying at large distance as $1/r^{d+\sigma}$, $\sigma>0$. The attention is focused mainly on the renormalization group…
We present the first example where length scale for the growth of ordered regions and the correlation length for the two point correlations of persistent sites scale differently with time. We do so by studying a global spin exchange…
In studies of turbulence, there has been extensive use of physical quantities such as {\it energy transfers} and {\it structure functions}. We examine whether these quantities can be useful in understanding problems of domain growth or…
The purpose of this Letter is to present a computation of the interaction energy of gauged O(3) Chern-Simons vortices which are infinitely separated. The results will show the behaviour of the interaction energy as a function of the…
We generalise the celebrated Peierls' argument to study the stability of a long-range interacting classical solid. Long-range interaction implies that all the atomic oscillators are coupled to each other via a harmonic potential, though the…
We test for the presence or absence of the de Almeida-Thouless line using one-dimensional power-law diluted Heisenberg spin glass model, in which the rms strength of the interactions decays with distance, r as 1/r^{sigma}. It is argued that…
The extinction transition in the presence of a localized quenched defect is studied numerically. When the bulk is at criticality, the correlation length diverges and even an infinite system cannot "decouple" from the defect. The results…
Persistence probabilities of the interface height in (1+1)- and (2+1)-dimensional atomistic, solid-on-solid, stochastic models of surface growth are studied using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, with emphasis on models that belong to the…
The spatial distribution of unvisited/persistent sites in $d=1$ $A+A\to\emptyset$ model is studied numerically. Over length scales smaller than a cut-off $\xi(t)\sim t^{z}$, the set of unvisited sites is found to be a fractal. The fractal…
The approach to equilibrium is studied for long-range quantum Ising models where the interaction strength decays like r^{-\alpha} at large distances r with an exponent $\alpha$ not exceeding the lattice dimension. For a large class of…
