Equilibrium phase transitions are associated with rearrangements of minima of a (Lagrangian) potential. Treatment of nonequilibrium systems requires doubling of degrees of freedom, which may be often interpreted as a transition from the "coordinate"- to the "phase"-space representation. As a result, one has to deal with the Hamiltonian formulation of the field theory instead of the Lagrangian one. We suggest a classification scheme of phase transitions in reaction-diffusion models based on the…

Absorbing state phase transitions with a non-accessible vacuum
We analyse from the renormalization group perspective a universality class of reaction?diffusion systems with absorbing states. In this class, models where the vacuum state is not accessible are…
On the absorbing-state phase transition in the one-dimensional triplet creation model
We study the lattice reaction diffusion model 3A -> 4A, A -> 0 (``triplet creation") using numerical simulations and n-site approximations. The simulation results provide evidence of a discontinuous…
Persistence of instanton connections in chemical reactions with time-dependent rates.
TLDR
This work studies the relation between the phase portrait of the Hamiltonian system representing a set of chemical reactions with constant rates and the corresponding system when these rates vary in time, and shows that the topology of the phase space is robust for small time-dependent perturbations.
Field theoretic treatment of an effective action for a model of catalyzed autoamplification.
TLDR
This work shows how to systematically simplify the action for this model such that analytical expressions for the exponents of this universality class can be obtained by standard means and is expected to be of general applicability in reaction-diffusion systems with coupled order parameters that display qualitatively different behaviors close to criticality.
Critical behavior of a model for catalyzed autoamplification.
TLDR
This model of catalyzed autoamplification inspired by a common motif in genetic networks has exponents that are distinct from previously studied reaction-diffusion systems, including the few with more than one field (unidirectionally coupled DP processes and the diffusive epidemic process).

TLDR
The crossover behavior of various models exhibiting phase transition to absorbing phase with parity conserving class has been investigated by numerical simulations and cluster mean-field method and the resulting models show a diversity within the DP universality class in one dimension.

TLDR
It is shown that the isotropic two-component AB --> [symbol: see text] model is insensitive to reaction disorder, and that only logarithmic corrections arise, induced by strong disorder in the diffusion rate.
Chemical Oscillations out of Chemical Noise
TLDR
The large deviation theory is formally introduced, which allows developing a Hamiltonian dynamical system able to describe the system dynamics and shows that the intrinsic fluctuations, originated in the discrete character of the reagents, may sustain oscillations and chaotic trajectories which are impossible when these fluctuations are disregarded.
Emergence of fluctuating traveling front solutions in macroscopic theory of noisy invasion fronts.
TLDR
Here, the theory is formulated as an effective Hamiltonian mechanics which operates with the density field and the conjugate "momentum" field and proves that the most probable density field history of an unusually slow front represents a traveling front solution of the Hamilton equations.
Universal Behaviors in the Diffusive Epidemic Process and in Fully Developed Turbulence
In this chapter, the phenomenology and challenges of the two systems studied as part of the thesis work are presented. Firstly, in Sect. 2.1 we give a short account on the physics of the diffusive…

Theory of Branching and Annihilating Random Walks.
TLDR
A new universality class has been observed in d = 1 for even values of m, when the number of particles is locally conserved modulo 2, and another issue which clearly requires theoretical explanation is the occurrence of a transition at a finite value of σm.

An example of a single-component, one-dimensional interacting particle system with a discontinuous transition into an absorbing state and the basic processes in the model are spontaneous annihilation, autocatalytic creation by trimers, and hopping.

TLDR
The steady-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional reaction-diffusion model 2A-->3A,2A-->0 is studied through the non-Hermitian density matrix renormalization group, where the value of beta/nu(perpendicular) is close to thevalue of the parity conserving universality class, in spite of the absence of local conservation laws.

TLDR
Large scale simulations of the particle density confirmed mean-field scaling behavior with logarithmic corrections, interpreted as numerical evidence supporting the bosonic field theoretical prediction that the upper critical dimension in this model is d(c)=2.
