Non-equilibrium critical phenomena have attracted a lot of research interest in the recent
decades. Similar to equilibrium critical phenomena, the concept of universality remains the …

“The career structure and funding of the universities [...] currently strongly discourages
academics and faculties from putting any investment into teaching–there are no career or …

The pair-contact process 2A→ 3A, 2A→∅ with diffusion of individual particles is a simple
branching-annihilation process which exhibits a phase transition from an active to an …

These lecture notes give a basic introduction to the physics of phase transitions under non-
equilibrium conditions. The notes start with a general introduction to non-equilibrium …

Renormalization group theory allows continuous variation of critical exponents along a
marginal direction (when there is one), kee** the scaling relations invariant. We propose a …

Equilibrium phase transitions are associated with rearrangements of minima of a
(Lagrangian) potential. Treatment of nonequilibrium systems requires doubling of degrees of …

We studied the kinetic roughening dynamic of two coupled interfaces formed in paper
wetting experiments at low evaporation rate. We observed three different regimes of …

We study coupled Gauss maps in one dimension with nearest-neighbor interactions. We
observe transitions from spatiotemporal chaos to period-3 states in a coarse-grained sense …

The diffusive epidemic process is a paradigmatic example of an absorbing state phase
transition in which healthy and infected individuals spread with different diffusion constants …

We demonstrate that the “microscopic” field theory representation, directly derived from the
corresponding master equation, fails to adequately capture the continuous nonequilibrium …
