Field theory of self-organized fractal etching.
We propose a phenomenological field theoretical approach to the chemical etching of a disordered solid. The theory is based on a recently proposed dynamical etching model. Through the introduction of a set of Langevin equations for the model evolution, we are able to map the problem into a field theory related to isotropic percolation. To the best of the author's knowledge, this constitutes the...

متن کاملPhases of Matter and Phase Transitions; From Mean Field Theory to Critical Phenomena
This paper is the second in a series[1] that looks at the theory of the phases of matter from the perspectives of physics and the philosophy of science. The first paper considered the question of how can matter, ordinary matter, support a diversity of forms. We see this diversity each time we observe ice in contact with liquid water or see water vapor (steam) come up from a pot of heated water....
متن کاملHow self-organized criticality works: A unified mean-field picture
We present a unified dynamical mean-field theory, based on the single site approximation to the masterequation, for stochastic self-organized critical models. In particular, we analyze in detail the properties of sandpile and forest-fire ~FF! models. In analogy with other nonequilibrium critical phenomena, we identify an order parameter with the density of ‘‘active’’ sites, and control paramete...
متن کاملSelf-organized criticality in nonconservative mean-field sandpiles
A mean-field sandpile model that exhibits self-organized criticality (SOC) despite violation of the grain-transfer conservation law during avalanches is proposed. The sandpile consists of N agents and possesses background activity with intensity η ∈ [0, 1]. Background activity is characterized by transitions between two stable agent states. Analysis employing theories of branching processes and...
