Exact solution of a Z(4) gauge Potts model on planar lattices

The exact solution of a general Z(4) gauge Potts model with a single and double plaquette representation of the action is found on a subspace of gauge-coupling parameters on the square and triangular lattices. The two Ising-type critical lines of a second-order phase transition for the model on a square lattice are found. For the model on a triangular lattice the two critical surfaces of an Ising-type and two nontrivial lines of a second-order phase transition with different critical behavior than on the critical surfaces are found. It is shown that a two dimensional (2D) general Z(4) gauge Potts model with single and double plaquette representation of the action and a 2D spin-3/2 Ising model belong to the same universality class.

Dynamics of Eulerian walkers

We investigate the dynamics of Eulerian walkers as a model of self-organized criticality. The evolution of the system is subdivided into characteristic periods which can be seen as avalanches. The structure of avalanches is described and the critical exponent in the distribution of first avalanches $τ=2$ is determined. We also study a mean square displacement of Eulerian walkers and obtain a simple diffusion law in the critical state. The evolution of underlying medium from a random state to the critical one is also described.

Self-Organizing Height-Arrow Model: Numerical and Analytical Results

The recently introduced self-organizing height-arrow (HA) model is numerically investigated on the square lattice and analytically on the Bethe lattice. The concentration of occupied sites and critical exponents of distributions of avalanches are evaluated for two slightly different versions of the model. The obtained exponents for distributions of avalanches by mass, area, duration and appropriate fractal dimensions are close to those for the BTW model, which suggests that the HA model belongs to the same universality class. For comparison, the concentration of occupied sites in the HA model is calculated exactly on the Bethe lattice of coordination number $q=4$ as well.

Critical Dynamics of Self-Organizing Eulerian Walkers

The model of self-organizing Eulerian walkers is numerically investigated on the square lattice. The critical exponents for the distribution of a number of steps ($τ_l$) and visited sites ($τ_s$) characterizing the process of transformation from one recurrent configuration to another are calculated using the finite-size scaling analysis. Two different kinds of dynamical rules are considered. The results of simulations show that both the versions of the model belong to the same class of universality with the critical exponents $τ_l=τ_s=1.75\pm 0.1$.

Abelian Sandpile Model on the Husimi Lattice of Square Plaquettes

An Abelian sandpile model is considered on the Husimi lattice of square plaquettes. Exact expressions for the distribution of height probabilities in the Self-Organized Critical state are derived. The two-point correlation function for the sites deep inside the Husimi lattice is calculated exactly.

Tricritical Phenomena in a Z(3) Lattice Gauge Theory

The Z(3) gauge model with double plaquette representation of the action on a generalized Bethe lattice of plaquettes is constructed. It is reduced to the spin-1 Blume-Emery-Griffiths (BEG) model. An Ising-type critical line of a second-order phase transition ending in the tricritical point is found.
