We revisit the question whether the critical behavior of sandpile models with sticky grains is in the directed percolation universality class. Our earlier theoretical arguments in favor, supported by evidence from numerical simulations [ Phys. Rev. Lett., {bf 89} (2002) 104303], have been disputed by Bonachela et al. [Phys. Rev. E {bf 74} (2004) 050102] for sandpiles with no preferred direction. We discuss possible reasons for the discrepancy. Our new results of longer simulations of the one-dimensional undirected model fully support our earlier conclusions.

This paper is devoted to the recent advances in self-organized criticality (SOC), and the concepts. The paper contains three parts; in the first part we present some examples of SOC systems, in the second part we add some comments concerning its relation to logarithmic conformal field theory, and in the third part we report on the application of SOC concepts to various systems ranging from cumulus clouds to 2D electron gases.
A new classification of sandpile models into universality classes is presented. On the basis of extensive numerical simulations, in which we measure an extended set of exponents, the Manna two state model [S. S. Manna, J. Phys. A 24, L363 (1991)] is found to belong to a universality class of random neighbor models which is distinct from the universality class of the original model of Bak, Tang and Wiesenfeld [P. Bak, C. Tang and K. Wiensenfeld, Phys. Rev. Lett. 59, 381 (1987)]. Directed models are found to belong to a universality class which includes the directed model introduced and solved by Dhar
Both the deterministic and stochastic sandpile models are studied on the percolation backbone, a random fractal, generated on a square lattice in $2$-dimensions. In spite of the underline random structure of the backbone, the deterministic Bak Tang Wiesenfeld (BTW) model preserves its positive time auto-correlation and multifractal behaviour due to its complete toppling balance, whereas the critical properties of the stochastic sandpile model (SSM) still exhibits finite size scaling (FSS) as it exhibits on the regular lattices. Analysing the topography of the avalanches, various scaling relations are developed. While for the SSM, the extended set of critical exponents obtained is found to obey various the scaling relation in terms of the fractal dimension $d_f^B$ of the backbone, whereas the deterministic BTW model, on the other hand, does not. As the critical exponents of the SSM defined on the backbone are related to $d_f^B$, the backbone fractal dimension, they are found to be entirely different from those of the SSM defined on the regular lattice as well as on other deterministic fractals. The SSM on the percolation backbone is found to obey FSS but belongs to a new stochastic universality class.
We study the steady state of the abelian sandpile models with stochastic toppling rules. The particle addition operators commute with each other, but in general these operators need not be diagonalizable. We use their abelian algebra to determine their eigenvalues, and the Jordan block structure. These are then used to determine the probability of different configurations in the steady state. We illustrate this procedure by explicitly determining the numerically exact steady state for a one dimensional example, for systems of size $le12$, and also study the density profile in the steady state.
We analyze nonequilibrium lattice models with up-down symmetry and two absorbing states by mean-field approximations and numerical simulations in two and three dimensions. The phase diagram displays three phases: paramagnetic, ferromagnetic and absorbing. The transition line between the first two phases belongs to the Ising universality class and between the last two, to the direct percolation universality class. The two lines meet at the point describing the voter model and the size $ell$ of the ferromagnetic phase vanishes with the distance $varepsilon$ to the voter point as $ellsimvarepsilon$, with possible logarithm corrections in two dimensions.
