We consider level-set percolation for the Gaussian membrane model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, with $d \geq 5$, and establish that as $h \in \mathbb{R}$ varies, a non-trivial percolation phase transition for the level-set above level $h$ occurs at…
A percolation model of nuclear fragmentation is used to interpret 10.2 GeV/c p+197Au multi-fragmentation data. Emphasis is put on finding signatures of a continuous nuclear matter phase transition in finite nuclear systems. Based on model…
We show that the relaxation dynamics near a glass transition with continuous ergodicity breaking can be endowed with a geometric interpretation based on percolation theory. At mean-field level this approach is consistent with the…

It is argued that some phase--transitions observed in models of non-equilibrium wetting phenomena are related to contact processes with long-range interactions. This is investigated by introducing a model where the activation rate of a site…
Cellular automata are widely used to model natural or artificial systems. Classically they are run with perfect synchrony, i.e., the local rule is applied to each cell at each time step. A possible modification of the updating scheme…

Bootstrap percolation on a graph is a deterministic process that iteratively enlarges a set of occupied sites by adjoining points with at least $\theta$ occupied neighbors. The initially occupied set is random, given by a uniform product…
