A percolation model is proposed to explain the structural phase transitions found in Li$_{1-x}$H$_x$IO$_3$ mixed crystals as a function of the concentration parameter $x$. The percolation thresholds are obtained from Monte Carlo simulations…
Percolation phenomena are investigated and discussed in three kinds of nanostructures: first two are nanocrystalline silicon-based systems, Si nanodots embedded in amorphous SiO2 matrix and porous silicon formed by an oxidized nanowire…
In [Watanabe et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 93 190601 (2004)], the authors show numerically that spanning and percolation probabilities in two-dimensional systems with different aspect ratios obey a form of "superscaling". In this comment, we…
We conducted Monte Carlo simulations to analyze the percolation transition of a non-symmetric loop model on a regular three-dimensional lattice. We calculated the critical exponents for the percolation transition of this model. The…
We study Bernoulli percolations on random lattices of the half-plane obtained as local limit of uniform planar triangulations or quadrangulations. Using the characteristic spatial Markov property or peeling process of these random lattices…
We give an account of matter and (basically) a solution of a new class of problems synthesizing percolation theory and branching diffusion processes. They led us to realizing a novel type of stochastic processes, namely branching processes…
In nature, phase transitions prevail amongst inherently different systems, while frequently showing a universal behavior at their critical point. As a fundamental phenomenon of fluid mechanics, recent studies suggested laminar-turbulent…
The vortex state which arises from a projection of SU(2) to $Z_2$ gauge theory is studied at finite temperatures with a special emphasis on the deconfinement phase transition.
The purpose of this note is twofold. First, we survey the study of the percolation phase transition on the Hamming hypercube {0,1}^m obtained in the series of papers [9,10,11,24]. Secondly, we explain how this study can be performed without…
Percolation and synchronization are two phase transitions that have been extensively studied since already long ago. A classic result is that, in the vast majority of cases, these transitions are of the second-order type, i.e. continuous…
Recently, the authors showed that the critical probability for random Voronoi percolation in the plane is 1/2. A by-product of the method was a short proof of the Harris-Kesten Theorem concerning bond percolation in the planar square…
The current status of the theory of and the experimental evidence for color transparency are reviewed. The problems with interpretation of quasielastic scattering on nuclei are discussed to some detail.
This celebratory article contains a personal and idiosyncratic selection of a few open problems in discrete probability theory. These include certain well known questions concerning Lorentz scatterers and self-avoiding walks, and also some…
We introduce a simple lattice model in which percolation is constructed on top of critical percolation clusters, and show that it can be repeated recursively any number $n$ of generations. In two dimensions, we determine the percolation…
We discuss the recent progress in neutrino physics in the following fields: (i) interpretation of the short and long neutrino oscillation data in terms of neutrino flavor transitions; (ii) models for neutrino masses and mixings.
The understanding of site percolation on the triangular lattice progressed greatly in the last decade. Smirnov proved conformal invariance of critical percolation, thus paving the way for the construction of its scaling limit. Recently, the…
A brief review is given of recent developments in the study of surface critical phenomena from the viewpoint of exactly solved lattice models. These developments include exact results for the polymer adsorption transition and the surface…
The immediate purpose of the paper was neither to review the basic definitions of percolation theory nor to rehearse the general physical notions of universality and renormalization (an important technique to be described in Part Two). It…
We discuss recent progress many problems in random matrix theory of a combinatorial nature, including several breakthroughs that solve long standing famous conjectures.
The theory of stellar evolution plays a central role in astrophysics as stellar models are used to infer properties for Galactic and Extragalactic stellar populations as well as exoplanetary systems. However, despite decades of experience,…
