Abstract
This paper considers a sandpile model subjected to a sinusoidal external drive with the period T. We develop a theoretical model for the Green's function in a large T limit, which predicts that the avalanches are anisotropic and elongated in the oscillation direction. We track the problem numerically and show that the system additionally shows a regime where the avalanches are elongated in the perpendicular direction with respect to the oscillations. We find a crossover between these two regimes. The power spectrum of avalanche size and the grains wasted from the parallel and perpendicular directions are studied. These functions show power-law behavior in terms of the frequency with exponents, which run with T.

Abstract
We study the sandpile model on three-dimensional spanning Ising clusters with the temperature T treated as the control parameter. By analyzing the three-dimensional avalanches and their two-dimensional projections (which show scale-invariant behavior for all temperatures), we uncover two universality classes with different exponents (an ordinary BTW class, and SOC_{T=∞}), along with a tricritical point (at T_{c}, the critical temperature of the host) between them. The transition between these two criticalities is induced by the transition in the support. The SOC_{T=∞} universality class is characterized by the exponent of the avalanche size distribution τ^{T=∞}=1.27±0.03, consistent with the exponent of the size distribution of the Barkhausen avalanches in amorphous ferromagnets Durin and Zapperi [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 4705 (2000)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.84.4705]. The tricritical point is characterized by its own critical exponents. In addition to the avalanche exponents, some other quantities like the average height, the spanning avalanche probability (SAP), and the average coordination number of the Ising clusters change significantly the behavior at this point, and also exhibit power-law behavior in terms of ε≡T-T_{c}/T_{c}, defining further critical exponents. Importantly, the finite-size analysis for the activity (number of topplings) per site shows the scaling behavior with exponents β=0.19±0.02 and ν=0.75±0.05. A similar behavior is also seen for the SAP and the average avalanche height. The fractal dimension of the external perimeter of the two-dimensional projections of avalanches is shown to be robust against T with the numerical value D_{f}=1.25±0.01.

Abstract
In many situations we are interested in the propagation of energy in some portions of a three-dimensional system with dilute long-range links. In this paper, a sandpile model is defined on the three-dimensional small-world network with real dissipative boundaries and the energy propagation is studied in three dimensions as well as the two-dimensional cross-sections. Two types of cross-sections are defined in the system, one in the bulk and another in the system boundary. The motivation of this is to make clear how the statistics of the avalanches in the bulk cross-section tend to the statistics of the dissipative avalanches, defined in the boundaries as the concentration of long-range links (α) increases. This trend is numerically shown to be a power law in a manner described in the paper. Two regimes of α are considered in this work. For sufficiently small αs the dominant behavior of the system is just like that of the regular BTW, whereas for the intermediate values the behavior is nontrivial with some exponents that are reported in the paper. It is shown that the spatial extent up to which the statistics is similar to the regular BTW model scales with α just like the dissipative BTW model with the dissipation factor (mass in the corresponding ghost model) m^{2}∼α for the three-dimensional system as well as its two-dimensional cross-sections.

Abstract
The statistical properties of the carrier density profile of graphene in the ground state in the presence of particle-particle interaction and random charged impurity in zero gate voltage has been recently obtained by Najafi et al. [Phys. Rev. E 95, 032112 (2017)2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.95.032112]. The nonzero chemical potential (μ) in gated graphene has nontrivial effects on electron-hole puddles, since it generates mass in the Dirac action and destroys the scaling behaviors of the effective Thomas-Fermi-Dirac theory. We provide detailed analysis on the resulting spatially inhomogeneous system in the framework of the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac theory for the Gaussian (white noise) disorder potential. We show that the chemical potential in this system as a random surface destroys the self-similarity, and also the charge field is non-Gaussian. We find that the two-body correlation functions are factorized to two terms: a pure function of the chemical potential and a pure function of the distance. The spatial dependence of these correlation functions is double logarithmic, e.g., the two-point density correlation behaves like D_{2}(r,μ)∝μ^{2}exp[-(-a_{D}lnlnr^{β_{D}})^{α_{D}}] (α_{D}=1.82, β_{D}=0.263, and a_{D}=0.955). The Fourier power spectrum function also behaves like ln[S(q)]=-β_{S}^{-a_{S}}(lnq)^{a_{S}}+2lnμ (a_{S}=3.0±0.1 and β_{S}=2.08±0.03) in contrast to the ordinary Gaussian rough surfaces for which a_{S}=1 and β_{S}=1/2(1+α)^{-1} (α being the roughness exponent). The geometrical properties are, however, similar to the ungated (μ=0) case, with the exponents that are reported in the text.

Abstract
We present extensive numerical simulations of Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld (BTW) sandpile model on the hypercubic lattice in the upper critical dimension D_{u}=4. After re-extracting the critical exponents of avalanches, we concentrate on the three- and two-dimensional (2D) cross sections seeking for the induced criticality which are reflected in the geometrical and local exponents. Various features of finite-size scaling (FSS) theory have been tested and confirmed for all dimensions. The hyperscaling relations between the exponents of the distribution functions and the fractal dimensions are shown to be valid for all dimensions. We found that the exponent of the distribution function of avalanche mass is the same for the d-dimensional cross sections and the d-dimensional BTW model for d=2 and 3. The geometrical quantities, however, have completely different behaviors with respect to the same-dimensional BTW model. By analyzing the FSS theory for the geometrical exponents of the two-dimensional cross sections, we propose that the 2D induced models have degrees of similarity with the Gaussian free field (GFF). Although some local exponents are slightly different, this similarity is excellent for the fractal dimensions. The most important one showing this feature is the fractal dimension of loops d_{f}, which is found to be 1.50±0.02≈3/2=d_{f}^{GFF}.

Abstract
The self-organized criticality on the random fractal networks has many motivations, like the movement pattern of fluid in the porous media. In addition to the randomness, introducing correlation between the neighboring portions of the porous media has some nontrivial effects. In this paper, we consider the Ising-like interactions between the active sites as the simplest method to bring correlations in the porous media, and we investigate the statistics of the BTW model in it. These correlations are controlled by the artificial "temperature" T and the sign of the Ising coupling. Based on our numerical results, we propose that at the Ising critical temperature T_{c} the model is compatible with the universality class of two-dimensional (2D) self-avoiding walk (SAW). Especially the fractal dimension of the loops, which are defined as the external frontier of the avalanches, is very close to D_{f}^{SAW}=4/3. Also, the corresponding open curves has conformal invariance with the root-mean-square distance R_{rms}∼t^{3/4} (t being the parametrization of the curve) in accordance with the 2D SAW. In the finite-size study, we observe that at T=T_{c} the model has some aspects compatible with the 2D BTW model (e.g., the 1/log(L)-dependence of the exponents of the distribution functions) and some in accordance with the Ising model (e.g., the 1/L-dependence of the fractal dimensions). The finite-size scaling theory is tested and shown to be fulfilled for all statistical observables in T=T_{c}. In the off-critical temperatures in the close vicinity of T_{c} the exponents show some additional power-law behaviors in terms of T-T_{c} with some exponents that are reported in the text. The spanning cluster probability at the critical temperature also scales with L^{1/2}, which is different from the regular 2D BTW model.

Abstract
We characterize the carrier density profile of the ground state of graphene in the presence of particle-particle interaction and random charged impurity in zero gate voltage. We provide detailed analysis on the resulting spatially inhomogeneous electron gas, taking into account the particle-particle interaction and the remote Coulomb disorder on an equal footing within the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac theory. We present some general features of the carrier density probability measure of the graphene sheet. We also show that, when viewed as a random surface, the electron-hole puddles at zero chemical potential show peculiar self-similar statistical properties. Although the disorder potential is chosen to be Gaussian, we show that the charge field is non-Gaussian with unusual Kondev relations, which can be regarded as a new class of two-dimensional random-field surfaces. Using Schramm-Loewner (SLE) evolution, we numerically demonstrate that the ungated graphene has conformal invariance and the random zero-charge density contours are SLE_{κ} with κ=1.8±0.2, consistent with c=-3 conformal field theory.
