Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We consider a system of particles undergoing the branching and annihilating reactions $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{A}(m+1)A$ and $A+\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{A}\ensuremath{\emptyset},$ with m even. The particles move via long-range L\'evy flights, where the probability of moving a distance r decays as ${r}^{\ensuremath{-}d\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\sigma}}.$ We analyze this system of branching and annihilating L\'evy flights using field theoretic renormalization group techniques close to the upper critical dimension ${d}_{c}=\ensuremath{\sigma}$ with $\ensuremath{\sigma}<2.$ These results are then compared with Monte Carlo simulations in $d=1.$ For $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ close to unity in $d=1,$ the critical point for the transition from an absorbing to an active phase occurs at zero branching. However, for $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ bigger than about $3/2$ in $d=1,$ the critical branching rate moves away from zero with increasing $\ensuremath{\sigma},$ and the transition lies in a different universality class, inaccessible to controlled perturbative expansions. We measure the exponents in both universality classes and examine their behavior as a function of $\ensuremath{\sigma}.$

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
