We propose a solution to the puzzle of dimensional reduction in the random field Ising model, inverting the question and asking: to what random problem in $D=d+2$ dimensions does a pure system in $d$ dimensions correspond? We consider two…

Building on and from the work of Brydges and Imbrie, we give an elementary calculation of the volume of the space of branched polymers of order $n$ in the plane and in 3-space. Our development reveals some more general identities, and…
Single two dimensional polymers confined to a strip are studied by Monte Carlo simulations. They are described by N-step self-avoiding random walks on a square lattice between two parallel hard walls with distance 1 << D << N^\nu (\nu = 3/4…
For a delta-correlated velocity field, simultaneous correlation functions of a passive scalar satisfy closed equations. We analyze the equation for the four-point function. To describe a solution completely, one has to solve the matching…
