Using the Martin-Siggia-Rose method, we study propagation of acoustic waves in strongly heterogeneous media which are characterized by a broad distribution of the elastic constants. Gaussian-white distributed elastic constants, as well as…
We develop the exact renormalization group approach as a way to evaluate the effective speed of propagation of a scalar wave in a medium with random inhomogeneities. We use the Martin-Siggia-Rose formalism to translate the problem into a…
We study the statics and dynamics of an elastic manifold in a disordered medium with quenched defects correlated as r^{-a} for large separation r. We derive the functional renormalization-group equations to one-loop order, which allow us to…
We investigate diffusion of excitation in one- and two-dimensional lattices with random on-site energies and deterministic long-range couplings (hopping) inversely proportional to the distance. Three regimes of diffusion are observed in…
We apply the renormalisation-group to two-body scattering by a combination of known long-range and unknown short-range forces. A crucial feature is that the low-energy effective theory is regulated by applying a cut-off in the basis of…
We derive the RG-flow equations of the sliding Luttinger liquid perturbed by charge-density-wave (CDW) and superconducting (SC) operators. Using them we study the phase diagram of an array of XXZ spin chains coupled by Ising terms. In the…
We study the coherent propagation and incoherent diffusion of in-plane elastic waves in a two dimensional continuum populated by many, randomly placed and oriented, edge dislocations. Because of the Peierls-Nabarro force the dislocations…
We establish a decoupling result for the $P$ and $S$ waves of linear, isotropic elasticity, in the setting of twice-differentiable Lam\'e parameters. Precisely, we show that the $P\leftrightarrow S$ components of the wave propagation…
We apply a recently developed renormalization group (RG) method to study synchronization in a one-dimensional chain of phase-coupled oscillators in the regime of weak randomness. The RG predicts how oscillators with randomly distributed…
The real-space renormalization group technique is introduced to evaluate the effective diffusion constant for diffusion in inhomogeneous media, which has been obtained by singular perturbation methods. Our method is formulated on a…
We investigate the scattering of elastic waves off a disordered region described by a one-dimensional random-phase sine-Gordon model. The collective pinning results in an effective static disorder potential with universal and non-Gaussian…
Scaling concepts and renormalization group (RG) methods are applied to a simple linear model of human posture control consisting of a trembling or quivering string subject to damping and restoring forces. The string is driven by…
Wave propagation in time-varying media enables unique control of energy transport by breaking energy conservation through temporal modulation. Among the resulting phenomena, temporal disorder-random fluctuations in material parameters-can…
We report time-resolved measurements of the statistics of pulsed transmission through quasi-one-dimensional dielectric media with static disorder. The normalized intensity correlation function with displacement and polarization rotation for…
We analyze the anisotropic Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in general substrate dimensions $d'$ with spatially correlated noise, $\langle\tilde \eta({\bf{k}},\omega)\rangle=0$ and $\langle\tilde \eta({\bf{k}},\omega) \tilde…
Power-law scaling in coarse-grained data suggests critical dynamics, but the true source of this scaling often remains unclear. Here, we analyze neural activity recorded during spatial navigation, reproducing power-law scaling under a…
The equilibrium behavior of a system of elastic layers under tension in the presence of correlated disorder is studied using functional renormalization group techniques. The model exhibits many of the features of the Bose glass phase of…
In this paper we develop a multiple scattering model for elastic waves in random anisotropic media. It relies on a kinetic approach of wave propagation phenomena pertaining to the situation whereby the wavelength is comparable to the…
Motivated by the problem of weak collective pinning of vortex lattices in high-temperature superconductors, we study the model system of a four-dimensional elastic manifold with N transverse degrees of freedom (4+N-model) in a quenched…
We present numerical simulations of acoustic wave propagation in confined granular systems consisting of particles interacting with the three-dimensional Hertz-Mindlin force law. The response to a short mechanical excitation on one side of…
