We consider two-dimensional systems of point particles located on rectangular lattices and interacting via pairwise potentials. The goal of this paper is to investigate the phase transitions (and their nature) at fixed density for the…

I derive precise results for absorbing-state phase transitions using exact (numerically determined) quasistationary probability distributions for small systems. Analysis of the contact process on rings of 23 or fewer sites yields critical…

We report on some extensive analysis of a recently proposed model [A. Lipowski Phys. Rev. E {\bf 60}, 6255 (1999)] with infinitely many absorbing states. By performing extensive Monte Carlo simulations we have determined critical exponents…

The study of the Ising model from a percolation perspective has played a significant role in the modern theory of critical phenomena. We consider the celebrated square-lattice Ising model and construct percolation clusters by placing bonds,…

We study a lattice model where the coupling stochastically switches between repulsive (subtractive) and attractive (additive) at each site with probability p at every time instance. We observe that such kind of coupling stabilizes the local…

We study the contact process on the long-range percolation cluster on $\mathbb{Z}$ where each edge $\langle i,j \rangle$ is open with probability $|i-j|^{-s}$ for $s> 2$. Using a renormalization procedure we apply Peierls-type argument to…

The Langevin equation for the pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD) 2A->3A, 2A->0 can be mapped by a Cole-Hopf transformation to a Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in a potential which has been discussed previously in the context of…
