    Master Operators Govern Multifractality in Percolation

    Full text link
    Using renormalization group methods we study multifractality in percolation at the instance of noisy random resistor networks. We introduce the concept of master operators. The multifractal moments of the current distribution (which are proportional to the noise cumulants CR(l)(x,x′)C_R^{(l)} (x, x^\prime) of the resistance between two sites x and x′x^\prime located on the same cluster) are related to such master operators. The scaling behavior of the multifractal moments is governed exclusively by the master operators, even though a myriad of servant operators is involved in the renormalization procedure. We calculate the family of multifractal exponents ψl{\psi_l} for the scaling behavior of the noise cumulants, CR(l)(x,x′)∼∣x−x′∣ψl/νC_R^{(l)} (x, x^\prime) \sim | x - x^\prime |^{\psi_l /\nu}, where ν\nu is the correlation length exponent for percolation, to two-loop order.Comment: 6 page

    Percolation Threshold, Fisher Exponent, and Shortest Path Exponent for 4 and 5 Dimensions

    We develop a method of constructing percolation clusters that allows us to build very large clusters using very little computer memory by limiting the maximum number of sites for which we maintain state information to a number of the order of the number of sites in the largest chemical shell of the cluster being created. The memory required to grow a cluster of mass s is of the order of sθs^\theta bytes where θ\theta ranges from 0.4 for 2-dimensional lattices to 0.5 for 6- (or higher)-dimensional lattices. We use this method to estimate dmind_{\scriptsize min}, the exponent relating the minimum path ℓ\ell to the Euclidean distance r, for 4D and 5D hypercubic lattices. Analyzing both site and bond percolation, we find dmin=1.607±0.005d_{\scriptsize min}=1.607\pm 0.005 (4D) and dmin=1.812±0.006d_{\scriptsize min}=1.812\pm 0.006 (5D). In order to determine dmind_{\scriptsize min} to high precision, and without bias, it was necessary to first find precise values for the percolation threshold, pcp_c: pc=0.196889±0.000003p_c=0.196889\pm 0.000003 (4D) and pc=0.14081±0.00001p_c=0.14081\pm 0.00001 (5D) for site and pc=0.160130±0.000003p_c=0.160130\pm 0.000003 (4D) and pc=0.118174±0.000004p_c=0.118174\pm 0.000004 (5D) for bond percolation. We also calculate the Fisher exponent, τ\tau, determined in the course of calculating the values of pcp_c: τ=2.313±0.003\tau=2.313\pm 0.003 (4D) and τ=2.412±0.004\tau=2.412\pm 0.004 (5D)

    Effects of surfaces on resistor percolation

    Full text link
    We study the effects of surfaces on resistor percolation at the instance of a semi-infinite geometry. Particularly we are interested in the average resistance between two connected ports located on the surface. Based on general grounds as symmetries and relevance we introduce a field theoretic Hamiltonian for semi-infinite random resistor networks. We show that the surface contributes to the average resistance only in terms of corrections to scaling. These corrections are governed by surface resistance exponents. We carry out renormalization group improved perturbation calculations for the special and the ordinary transition. We calculate the surface resistance exponents \phi_{\mathcal S \mathnormal} and \phi_{\mathcal S \mathnormal}^\infty for the special and the ordinary transition, respectively, to one-loop order.Comment: 19 pages, 3 figure

    Logarithmic Corrections in Dynamic Isotropic Percolation

    Full text link
    Based on the field theoretic formulation of the general epidemic process we study logarithmic corrections to scaling in dynamic isotropic percolation at the upper critical dimension d=6. Employing renormalization group methods we determine these corrections for some of the most interesting time dependent observables in dynamic percolation at the critical point up to and including the next to leading correction. For clusters emanating from a local seed at the origin we calculate the number of active sites, the survival probability as well as the radius of gyration.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, version to appear in Phys.

    In 2010 the Brazilian Government established a goal to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by agriculture from 36.1 up to 38.9% in ten years (2010 -2020). To contribute for reaching part of this purpose in Tocantins State, Embrapa and other research and extension services partners have been conducting a project of technology transference on sustainable agricultural practices, including integrated crop-livestock-forestry (ICLF), since 2012

    In Pium, Tocantins state, Brazil, in 2012 Embrapa developed a technology transference project in partnership with the state?s rural extension service for the consolidation of low carbon emissions agriculture. The goal was to recover the degraded grasslands of the Trigueira farm (49°1'37.44"W and 10°24'58.84"S) with low cost using a crop-livestock system
