Abstract:
In real life, many physical systems tend to drive themselves towards criticality, without fine tuning parameters. Such a behavior is also known as "self-organized criticality''. For this reason, physicists seek for models that exhibit self-organized criticality. In this talk, we will focus on two types of models, one is the abelian sandpile model introduced by Bak, Tang and Wiesenfeld, and the other is variants of the forest fire model introduced by Drossel and Schwabl. We will talk about their relationship with other areas in mathematics together with some of the rigorous results.
