The Directed Polymer — Directed Percolation Transition
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the relation between the directed polymer and the directed percolation models, for the case of a disordered energy landscape where the energies are taken from bimodal distribution. We find that at the critical concentration of the directed percolation, the directed polymer undergoes a transition from the directed polymer universality class to the directed percolation universality class. We also find that directed percolation clusters affect the characterisrics of the directed polymer below the critical concentration. PACS numbers: 05.50.+q, 64.60.Ak, 64.60.Cn

Adsorbing and Collapsing Directed Animals
A model of a self-interacting directed animal, which also interacts with a solid wall, is studied as a model of a directed branched polymer which can undergo both a collapse and an adsorption transition. The directed animal is confined to a 45° wedge, and it interacts with one of the walls of this wedge. The existence of a thermodynamic limit in this model shown, and the presence of an adsorpti...
متن کاملDirected percolation identified as equilibrium pre-transition towards non-equilibrium arrested gel states
The macroscopic properties of gels arise from their slow dynamics and load-bearing network structure, which are exploited by nature and in numerous industrial products. However, a link between these structural and dynamical properties has remained elusive. Here we present confocal microscopy experiments and simulations of gel-forming colloid-polymer mixtures. They reveal that gel formation is p...
متن کاملStability of directed Min-Max optimal paths
The stability of directed Min-Max optimal paths in cases of change in the random media is studied. Using analytical arguments it is shown that when small perturbations are applied to the weights of the bonds of the lattice, the probability that the new Min-Max optimal path is different from the original Min-Max optimal path is proportional to t‖ , where t is the size of the lattice, and ν‖ is t...
متن کاملDirected polymers versus directed percolation
Universality plays a central role within the rubric of modern statistical mechanics, wherein an insightful continuum formulation rises above irrelevant microscopic details, capturing essential scaling behaviors. Nevertheless, occasions do arise where the lattice or another discrete aspect can constitute a formidable legacy. Directed polymers in random media, along with its close sibling, direct...
متن کاملDirected Percolation Process Advected by Compressible Velocity Field
The directed percolation process in the vicinity of non-equilibrium phase transition is studied by the means of field theoretic methods. It will be assumed that percolation takes place in a compressible environment, which will be generated by the modified Kraichnan model. We will discuss differences with the incompressible case and describe how the given model can be renormalized. The renormali...
