Directed Polymer Melts and Quantum Critical Phenomena
The statistical mechanics of directed line-like objects, such as directed polymers in an external field, strands of dipoles in both ferroand electrorheological fluids, and flux lines in high-TC superconductors bears a close resemblance to the quantum mechanics of bosons in 2 + 1 dimensions. We show that single component and binary mixture critical phenomena in these systems are in the universal...
متن کاملScaling and power-laws in ecological systems.
Scaling relationships (where body size features as the independent variable) and power-law distributions are commonly reported in ecological systems. In this review we analyze scaling relationships related to energy acquisition and transformation and power-laws related to fluctuations in numbers. Our aim is to show how individual level attributes can help to explain and predict patterns at the ...
متن کاملSurface critical phenomena and scaling in the eight-vertex model.
We give a physical interpretation of the entries of the reflection K-matrices of Baxter’s eight-vertex model in terms of an Ising interaction at an open boundary. Although the model still defies an exact solution we nevertheless obtain the exact surface free energy from a crossing-unitarity relation. The singular part of the surface energy is described by the critical exponents αs = 2− π 2μ and...
متن کاملCritical Phenomena and Diffusion in Complex Systems
The nonlinear dynamics of complex systems is one of the most exciting and fastest growing branches of modern sciences. This research area is at the forefront in interdisciplinary research and it has an increasingly important impact on a variety of applied subjects ranging from the study of turbulence and the behavior of the weather, through the investigation of electrical and mechanical oscilla...
متن کاملScaling, universality, and renormalization: Three pillars of modern critical phenomena
This brief overview is designed to introduce some of the advances that have occurred in our understanding of phase transitions and critical phenomena. The presentation is organized around three simple questions: (i) What are the basic phenomena under consideration? (ii) Why do we care? (iii) What do we actually do? To answer the third question, the author shall briefly review scaling, universal...
