Local Density of Activated Random Walk on $\mathbb{Z}$

We consider one-dimensional activated random walk (ARW) on $\mathbb{Z}$ started from a `point source' initial condition, with many particles at the origin and no other particles. We prove that, uniformly throughout a macroscopic window around the source, the probability that a site contains a sleeping particle after the configuration is stabilized is approximately the critical density. This represents a first step towards understanding the local structure of the critical stationary measure for ARW.

Activated Random Walks on $\mathbb{Z}$ with Critical Particle Density

The Activated Random Walk (ARW) model is a promising candidate for demonstrating self-organized criticality due to its potential for universality. Recent studies have shown that the ARW model exhibits a well-defined critical density in one dimension, supporting its universality. In this paper, we extend these results by demonstrating that the ARW model on $\mathbb{Z}$, with a single initially active particle and all other particles sleeping, maintains the same critical density. Our findings relax the previous assumption that required all particles to be initially active. This provides further evidence of the ARW model's robustness and universality in depicting self-organized criticality.

The spectrum of the abelian sandpile model

In their previous work, the authors studied the abelian sandpile model on graphs constructed from a growing piece of a plane or space tiling, given periodic or open boundary conditions, and identified spectral factors which govern the asymptotic spectral gap and asymptotic mixing time. This article gives a general method of determining the spectral factor either computationally or asymptotically and performs the determination in specific examples.

Cut-off for sandpiles on tiling graphs

Sandpile dynamics are considered on graphs constructed from periodic plane and space tilings by assigning a growing piece of the tiling either torus or open boundary conditions. A general method of obtaining the Green's function of the tiling is given, and a total variation cut-off phenomenon is demonstrated under general conditions. It is shown that the boundary condition does not affect the mixing time for planar tilings, nor does it change the asymptotic mixing time for the cubic lattice $\zed^d$ for all sufficiently large $d$. In a companion paper, computational methods are used to demonstrate that the mixing time is altered for the $\Dfour$ lattice in dimension 4.
