Abelian Sandpiles and the Harmonic Model

چکیده
We present a construction of an entropy-preserving equivariant surjective map from the d-dimensional critical sandpile model to a certain closed, shift-invariant subgroup of T d (the ‘harmonic model’). A similar map is constructed for the dissipative abelian sandpile model and is used to prove uniqueness and the Bernoulli property of the measure of maximal entropy for that model.

Laplacian Growth, Sandpiles and Scaling Limits
Laplacian growth is the study of interfaces that move in proportion to harmonic measure. Physically, it arises in fluid flow and electrical problems involving a moving boundary. We survey progress over the last decade on discrete models of (internal) Laplacian growth, including the abelian sandpile, internal DLA, rotor aggregation, and the scaling limits of these models on the lattice Z as the ...
متن کاملPattern Formation in Growing Sandpiles
The topic of Pattern Formation in Growing Sandpiles was first looked at in the 1980’s through a model of sand being added to a two dimensional system at a constant rate.[1] How this sand creates patterns of inactivity and unpredictability is an interesting natural phenomena. The Abelian Sandpile model is one model created to model these patterns, showing that the ending stable state of the mode...
متن کاملRandom walks, electric networks and the transience class problem of sandpiles
The Abelian Sandpile Model is a discrete di usion process de ned on graphs (Dhar [14], Dhar et al. [15]) which serves as the standard model of self-organized criticality. The transience class of a sandpile is de ned as the maximum number of particles that can be added without making the system recurrent ([4]). We develop the theory of discrete di usions in contrast to continuous harmonic functi...

متن کاملDriving sandpiles to criticality and beyond.
A popular theory of self-organized criticality relates driven dissipative systems to systems with conservation. This theory predicts that the stationary density of the Abelian sandpile model equals the threshold density of the fixed-energy sandpile. We refute this prediction for a wide variety of underlying graphs, including the square grid. Driven dissipative sandpiles continue to evolve even ...
