We use 3D numerical simulations to explore the phase diagram of driven flux line lattices in presence of weak random columnar disorder at finite temperature and high driving force. We show that the moving Bose glass phase exists in a large range of temperature, up to its melting into a moving vortex liquid. It is also remarkably stable upon increasing velocity : the dynamical transition to the correlated moving glass expected at a critical velocity is not found at any velocity accessible to our simulations. Furthermore, we show the existence of an effective static tin roof pinning potential in the direction transverse to motion, which originates from both the transverse periodicity of the moving lattice and the localization effect due to correlated disorder. Using a simple model of a single elastic line in such a periodic potential, we obtain a good description of the transverse field penetration at surfaces as a function of thickness in the moving Bose glass phase.

The zero-temperature critical state of the two-dimensional gauge glass model is investigated. It is found that low-energy vortex configurations afford a simple description in terms of gapless, weakly interacting vortex-antivortex pair excitations. A linear dielectric screening calculation is presented in a renormalization group setting that yields a power-law decay of spin-wave stiffness with distance. These properties are in agreement with low-temperature specific heat and spin-glass susceptibility data obtained in large-scale multi-canonical Monte Carlo simulations.
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we report a study of the dynamics of two-dimensional vortex lattices driven over a disordered medium. In strong disorder, when topological order is lost, we show that the depinning transition is analogous to a second order critical transition: the velocity-force response at the onset of motion is continuous and characterized by critical exponents. Combining studies at zero and nonzero temperature and using a scaling analysis, two critical expo- nents are evaluated. We find vsim (F-F_c)^beta with beta=1.3pm0.1 at T=0 and F>F_c, and vsim T^{1/delta} with delta^{-1}=0.75pm0.1 at F=F_c, where F_c is the critical driving force at which the lattice goes from a pinned state to a sliding one. Both critical exponents and the scaling function are found to exhibit universality with regard to the pinning strength and different disorder realizations. Furthermore, the dynamics is shown to be chaotic in the whole critical region.
We study spin glass behavior in a random Ising Coulomb antiferromagnet in two and three dimensions using Monte Carlo simulations. In two dimensions, we find a transition at zero temperature with critical exponents consistent with those of the Edwards Anderson model, though with large uncertainties. In three dimensions, evidence for a finite-temperature transition, as occurs in the Edwards-Anderson model, is rather weak. This may indicate that the sizes are too small to probe the asymptotic critical behavior, or possibly that the universality class is different from that of the Edwards-Anderson model and has a lower critical dimension equal to three.
It is at the heart of modern condensed matter physics to investigate the role of a topological structure in anomalous transport phenomena. In particular, chiral anomaly turns out to be the underlying mechanism for the negative longitudinal magnetoresistivity in a Weyl metal phase. Existence of a dissipationless current channel causes enhancement of electric currents along the direction of a pair of Weyl points or applied magnetic fields ($B$). However, temperature ($T$) dependence of the negative longitudinal magnetoresistivity has not been understood yet in the presence of disorder scattering since it is not clear at all how to introduce effects of disorder scattering into the topological-in-origin transport coefficient at finite temperatures. The calculation based on the Kubo formula of the current-current correlation function is simply not known for this anomalous transport coefficient. Combining the renormalization group analysis with the Boltzmann transport theory to encode the chiral anomaly, we reveal how disorder scattering renormalizes the distance between a pair of Weyl points and such a renormalization effect modifies the topological-in-origin transport coefficient at finite temperatures. As a result, we find breakdown of $B/T$ scaling, given by $B/T^{1 + eta}$ with $0 < eta < 1$. This breakdown may be regarded to be a fingerprint of the interplay between disorder scattering and topological structure in a Weyl metal phase.
We systematically study and compare damage spreading at the sparse percolation (SP) limit for random boolean and threshold networks with perturbations that are independent of the network size $N$. This limit is relevant to information and damage propagation in many technological and natural networks. Using finite size scaling, we identify a new characteristic connectivity $K_s$, at which the average number of damaged nodes $bar d$, after a large number of dynamical updates, is independent of $N$. Based on marginal damage spreading, we determine the critical connectivity $K_c^{sparse}(N)$ for finite $N$ at the SP limit and show that it systematically deviates from $K_c$, established by the annealed approximation, even for large system sizes. Our findings can potentially explain the results recently obtained for gene regulatory networks and have important implications for the evolution of dynamical networks that solve specific computational or functional tasks.
