Abstract: This review addresses recent developments in nonequilibrium statistical physics. Focusing on phase transitions from fluctuating phases into absorbing states, the universality class of directed percolation is investigated in detail. The survey gives a general introduction to various lattice models of directed percolation and studies their scaling properties, field-theoretic aspects, numerical techniques, as well as possible experimental realizations. In addition, several examples of absorbing-state transitions which do not belong to the directed percolation universality class will be discussed. As a closely related technique, we investigate the concept of damage spreading. It is shown that this technique is ambiguous to some extent, making it impossible to define chaotic and regular phases in stochastic nonequilibrium systems. Finally, we discuss various classes of depinning transitions in models for interface growth which are related to phase transitions into absorbing states.

Fluctuations and symmetries in two-dimensional active gels.
Niladri Sarkar,Abhik Basu +1 more
TL;DR: This work sets up effective two-dimensional (2d coarse-grained hydrodynamic equations for the dynamics of thin active gels with polar or nematic symmetries and uses these to study the linear instabilities, calculate the correlation functions and the diffusion constant of a small tagged particle, and elucidate their dependences on the activity or nonequilibrium drive.

Revisiting Absorbing Phase Transition in Energy Exchange Models
TL;DR: In this paper, the conserved Manna model with both discrete and continuous variable absorbing phase transitions belong to the directed percolation (DP) universality class, and both the maximal and minimal versions of this model belong to DP class.

Explosive phase transition in susceptible-infected-susceptible epidemics with arbitrary small but nonzero self-infection rate.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the overall-healthy state of the classical Markovian SIS model is unstable in the ɛ-SIS process and, hence, unlikely to exist in reality, where "background" infection ɚ>0 is imminent.

TL;DR: In this article, exactly solved models of statistical mechanics are discussed. But they do not consider exactly solvable models in statistical mechanics, which is a special issue in the statistical mechanics of the classical two-dimensional faculty of science.

Theory of Dynamic Critical Phenomena
TL;DR: The renormalization group theory has been applied to a variety of dynamic critical phenomena, such as the phase separation of a symmetric binary fluid as mentioned in this paper, and it has been shown that it can explain available experimental data at the critical point of pure fluids, and binary mixtures, and at many magnetic phase transitions.
