Conductance Distributions in Random Resistor Networks: Self Averaging and Disorder Lengths
The self averaging properties of conductance are explored in random
resistor networks with a broad distribution of bond strengths
P(g)\simg^{\mu-1}. Distributions of equivalent conductances are estimated
numerically on hierarchical lattices as a function of size and distribution
tail parameter . For networks above the percolation threshold, convergence
to a Gaussian basin is always the case, except in the limit --> 0. A {\it
disorder length} is identified beyond which the system is effectively
homogeneous. This length diverges as ( is the
regular percolation correlation length exponent) as -->0. This suggest
that exactly the same critical behavior can be induced by geometrical disorder
and bu strong bond disorder with the bond occupation probability .
Only lattices at the percolation threshold have renormalized probability
distribution in a {\it Levy-like} basin. At the threshold the disorder length
diverges at a vritical tail strength as , with
, a new exponent. Critical path analysis is used in a generalized
form to give form to give the macroscopic conductance for lattice above .Comment: 16 pages plain TeX file, 6 figures available upon

Universality in phase boundary slopes for spin glasses on self dual lattices
We study the effects of disorder on the slope of the disorder--temperature
phase boundary near the Onsager point (Tc = 2.269...) in spin-glass models. So
far, studies have focused on marginal or irrelevant cases of disorder. Using
duality arguments, as well as exact Pfaffian techniques we reproduce these
analytical estimates. In addition, we obtain different estimates for spin-glass
models on hierarchical lattices where the effects of disorder are relevant. We
show that the phase-boundary slope near the Onsager point can be used to probe
for the relevance of disorder effects.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure
Self-similarity, small-world, scale-free scaling, disassortativity, and robustness in hierarchical lattices
In this paper, firstly, we study analytically the topological features of a
family of hierarchical lattices (HLs) from the view point of complex networks.
We derive some basic properties of HLs controlled by a parameter . Our
results show that scale-free networks are not always small-world, and support
the conjecture that self-similar scale-free networks are not assortative.
Secondly, we define a deterministic family of graphs called small-world
hierarchical lattices (SWHLs). Our construction preserves the structure of
hierarchical lattices, while the small-world phenomenon arises. Finally, the
dynamical processes of intentional attacks and collective synchronization are
studied and the comparisons between HLs and Barab{\'asi}-Albert (BA) networks
as well as SWHLs are shown. We show that degree distribution of scale-free
networks does not suffice to characterize their synchronizability, and that
networks with smaller average path length are not always easier to synchronize.Comment: 26 pages, 8 figure
Multicritical points for the spin glass models on hierarchical lattices
The locations of multicritical points on many hierarchical lattices are
numerically investigated by the renormalization group analysis. The results are
compared with an analytical conjecture derived by using the duality, the gauge
symmetry and the replica method. We find that the conjecture does not give the
exact answer but leads to locations slightly away from the numerically reliable
data. We propose an improved conjecture to give more precise predictions of the
multicritical points than the conventional one. This improvement is inspired by
a new point of view coming from renormalization group and succeeds in deriving
very consistent answers with many numerical data.Comment: 11 pages, 9 figures, 7 tables This is the published versio
Hierarchical models of rigidity percolation
We introduce models of generic rigidity percolation in two dimensions on
hierarchical networks, and solve them exactly by means of a renormalization
transformation. We then study how the possibility for the network to self
organize in order to avoid stressed bonds may change the phase diagram. In
contrast to what happens on random graphs and in some recent numerical studies
at zero temperature, we do not find a true intermediate phase separating the
usual rigid and floppy ones.Comment: 20 pages, 8 figures. Figures improved, references added, small

Nature of the collapse transition in interacting self-avoiding trails
We study the interacting self-avoiding trail (ISAT) model on a Bethe lattice
of general coordination and on a Husimi lattice built with squares and
coordination . The exact grand-canonical solutions of the model are
obtained, considering that up to monomers can be placed on a site and
associating a weight for a -fold visited site. Very rich phase
diagrams are found with non-polymerized (NP), regular polymerized (P) and dense
polymerized (DP) phases separated by lines (or surfaces) of continuous and
discontinuous transitions. For Bethe lattice with and , the collapse
transition is identified with a bicritical point and the collapsed phase is
associated to the dense polymerized phase (solid-like) instead of the regular
polymerized phase (liquid-like). A similar result is found for the Husimi
lattice, which may explain the difference between the collapse transition for
ISAT's and for interacting self-avoiding walks on the square lattice. For
and (studied on the Bethe lattice only), a more complex phase diagram is
found, with two critical planes and two coexistence surfaces, separated by two
tricritical and two critical end-point lines meeting at a multicritical point.
The mapping of the phase diagrams in the canonical ensemble is discussed and
compared with simulational results for regular lattices.Comment: 12 pages, 13 figure
Slow relaxation due to optimization and restructuring: Solution on a hierarchical lattice
Motivated by the large strain shear of loose granular materials we introduced
a model which consists of consecutive optimization and restructuring steps
leading to a self organization of a density field. The extensive connections to
other models of statistical phyics are discussed. We investigate our model on a
hierarchical lattice which allows an exact asymptotic renormalization
treatment. A surprisingly close analogy is observed between the simulation
results on the regular and the hierarchical lattices. The dynamics is
characterized by the breakdown of ergodicity, by unusual system size effects in
the development of the average density as well as by the age distribution, the
latter showing multifractal properties.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures revtex, submitted to PRE see also:

Percolation in Hierarchical Scale-Free Nets
We study the percolation phase transition in hierarchical scale-free nets.
Depending on the method of construction, the nets can be fractal or small-world
(the diameter grows either algebraically or logarithmically with the net size),
assortative or disassortative (a measure of the tendency of like-degree nodes
to be connected to one another), or possess various degrees of clustering. The
percolation phase transition can be analyzed exactly in all these cases, due to
the self-similar structure of the hierarchical nets. We find different types of
criticality, illustrating the crucial effect of other structural properties
besides the scale-free degree distribution of the nets.Comment: 9 Pages, 11 figures. References added and minor corrections to

Locations of multicritical points for spin glasses on regular lattices
We present an analysis leading to precise locations of the multicritical
points for spin glasses on regular lattices. The conventional technique for
determination of the location of the multicritical point was previously derived
using a hypothesis emerging from duality and the replica method. In the present
study, we propose a systematic technique, by an improved technique, giving more
precise locations of the multicritical points on the square, triangular, and
hexagonal lattices by carefully examining relationship between two partition
functions related with each other by the duality. We can find that the
multicritical points of the Ising model are located at
on the square lattice, where means the probability of ,
at on the triangular lattice, and at on the
hexagonal lattice. These results are in excellent agreement with recent
numerical estimations.Comment: 17pages, this is the published version with some minnor corrections.
