FA Oliveira, RMS Ferreira, LC Lapas… - Frontiers in …, 2019 - frontiersin.org
In this article we review classical and recent results in anomalous diffusion and provide
mechanisms useful for the study of the fundamentals of certain processes, mainly in …

Phase transitions above the upper critical dimension

B Berche, T Ellis, Y Holovatch, R Kenna - SciPost Physics Lecture Notes, 2022 - scipost.org
These lecture notes provide an overview of the renormalization group (RG) as a successful
framework to understand critical phenomena above the upper critical dimension $ d_ {\rm …

Ralph Kenna's scaling relations in critical phenomena

L Moueddene, A Donoso, B Berche - Entropy, 2024 - mdpi.com
In this note, we revisit the scaling relations among “hatted critical exponents”, which were
first derived by Ralph Kenna, Des Johnston, and Wolfhard Janke, and we propose an …

Hyperscaling above the upper critical dimension

B Berche, R Kenna, JC Walter - Nuclear Physics B, 2012 - Elsevier
Above the upper critical dimension, the breakdown of hyperscaling is associated with
dangerous irrelevant variables in the renormalization group formalism at least for systems …

Critical and tricritical behavior of the Blume-Capel model: Results from small-scale Monte Carlo simulations

L Moueddene, NG Fytas, B Berche - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
We investigate the location of the critical and tricritical points of the three-dimensional Blume-
Capel model by analyzing the behavior of the first Lee-Yang zero, the density of partition …

Yang-Lee zeros for real-space condensation

Z Burda, DA Johnston, M Kieburg - Physical Review E, 2025 - APS
Using the electrostatic analogy, we derive an exact formula for the limiting Yang-Lee zero
distribution in the random allocation model of general weights. This exhibits a real-space …

Logarithmic finite-size scaling of the four-dimensional Ising model

Z Li, T **ao, Z Zhou, S Fang, Y Deng - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
Field-theoretical calculations predict that, at the upper critical dimension dc= 4, the finite-size
scaling (FSS) behaviors of the Ising model would be modified by multiplicative logarithmic …

Monte Carlo study of the triangular Blume-Capel model under bond randomness

PE Theodorakis, NG Fytas - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and …, 2012 - APS
The effects of bond randomness on the universality aspects of a two-dimensional (d= 2)
Blume-Capel model embedded in the triangular lattice are discussed. The system is studied …

Fisher's scaling relation above the upper critical dimension

R Kenna, B Berche - Europhysics Letters, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
Fisher's fluctuation-response relation is one of four famous scaling formulae and is
consistent with a vanishing correlation-function anomalous dimension above the upper …

A new critical exponent koppa and its logarithmic counterpart koppa-hat

R Kenna, B Berche - arxiv preprint arxiv:1411.2754, 2014 - arxiv.org
It is well known that standard hyperscaling breaks down above the upper critical dimension
d_c, where the critical exponents take on their Landau values. Here we show that this is …
