Many 2D lattice models of physical phenomena are conjectured to have conformally invariant scaling limits: percolation, Ising model, self-avoiding polymers, ... This has led to numerous exact (but non-rigorous) predictions of their scaling…
We consider a correlated site percolation problem on a cubic lattice of size $L^3$, with $16\le L\le 512$. The sites of an initially full lattice are removed by a random walk of ${\cal N}=uL^3$ steps. When the parameter $u$ crosses a…
The question of the exact nature of the phase transition in two-flavor QCD is still under discussion. Recent results for small quark masses in simulations with 2+1 flavors show scaling behavior consistent with the O(4) or O(2) universality…
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…
Finite-size scaling is investigated in detail around the critical point in the heavy-quark region of nonzero temperature QCD. Numerical simulations are performed with large spatial volumes up to the aspect ratio $N_s/N_t=12$ at a fixed…
We consider the percolation problem of sites on an $L\times L$ square lattice with periodic boundary conditions which were unvisited by a random walk of $N=uL^2$ steps, i.e. are vacant. Most of the results are obtained from numerical…
We investigate the continuum limit in $SO(N)$ Principal Chiral Models concentrating in detail on the $SO(4)$ model and its covering group SU(2)xSU(2). We compute the mass gap in terms of Lambda_MS and compare with the prediction of…
We study two exactly solvable two-dimensional conformal models, the critical Ising model and the Sommerfield model, on the lattice. We show that finite-size effects are important and depend on the aspect ratio of the lattice. In particular,…
The exact nature of the chiral phase transition in QCD is still under investigation. In $N_f=2$ and $N_f=(2+1)$ lattice simulations with staggered fermions the expected O($N$)-scaling behavior was observed. However, it is still not clear…
The transport properties of disordered systems are known to depend critically on dimensionality. We study the diffusion coefficient of a quantum particle confined to a lattice on the surface of a tube, where it scales between the 1D and 2D…
Diffusion on a T fractal lattice under the influence of topological biasing fields is studied by finite size scaling methods. This allows to avoid proliferation and singularities which would arise in a renormalization group approach on…
Mitra et al. [Phys. Rev. E 99 (2019) 012117] proposed a new percolation model that includes distortion in the square lattice and concluded that it may belong to the same universality class as the ordinary percolation. But the conclusion is…
The localization transition and the critical properties of the Lorentz model in three dimensions are investigated by computer simulations. We give a coherent and quantitative explanation of the dynamics in terms of continuum percolation…
We present results for 2D and 4D systems on lattices with topology homotopic to the surface of a (hyper) sphere $S^2$ or $S^4$. Finite size scaling is studied in situations with phase transitions of first and second order type. The Ising…
We study the convergence and shape correction to the limit distributions of extreme values due to the finite size (FS) of data sets. A renormalization method is introduced for the case of independent, identically distributed (iid)…
We review some of the recent progress on the scaling limit of two-dimensional critical percolation; in particular, the convergence of the exploration path to chordal SLE(6) and the "full" scaling limit of cluster interface loops. The…
We study the 2D Ising model on three different types of lattices that are topologically equivalent to spheres. The geometrical shapes are reminiscent of the surface of a pillow, a 3D cube and a sphere, respectively. Systems of volumes…
I consider a one dimensional system of particles which interact through a hard core of diameter $\si$ and can connect to each other if they are closer than a distance $d$. The mean cluster size increases as a function of the density $\rho$…
We study the large-$r$ behavior of the bulk order-parameter correlation function $G(\bf{r})$ for $T>T_c$ within the lattice $\phi^4$ theory. We also study the large-$L$ behavior of the susceptibility $\chi$ of the confined lattice system of…
A new site percolation model, directed spiral percolation (DSP), under both directional and rotational (spiral) constraints is studied numerically on the square lattice. The critical percolation threshold $p_c\approx 0.655$ is found between…
