The earliest phase transition? [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 2000 The question of a phase transition in exiting the Planck epoch of the early universe is addressed. An order parameter is proposed to help decide the issue, and estimates are made concerning its behavior. Our analysis is suggestive that a phase transition occurred.

A Phase Transition in Minesweeper
CoRR, 2020 We study the average-case complexity of the classic Minesweeper game in which players deduce the locations of mines on a two-dimensional lattice. Playing Minesweeper is known to be co-NP-complete. We show empirically that Minesweeper exhibits a phase transition analogous to the well-studied SAT phase transition.

, 2000 These are notes for lectures delivered at the NATO ASI on Dynamics in Leiden, The Netherlands, in July 1998. The main concepts relating to quantum phase transitions are explained, using the paramagnet-to-ferromagnet transition of itinerant electrons as the primary example. Some aspects of metal-insulator transitions are also briefly discussed.

Phase Transition and Fractals [PDF]
Progress of Theoretical Physics, 1983 Summary: We give a geometrical interpretation of critical phenomena, particularly of the scaling relations on critical exponents, by the use of statistical fractal dimensionality. We also discuss the relation between this geometrical interpretation and the finite size scaling theory.

Annalen der Physik, 2000 AbstractThe sequence of phase transitions during the hot history of the universe is followed within a phenomenological framework. Particular emphasis is put on the QCD confinement transition, which is at reach under earth laboratory conditions. A tepid inflationary scenario on the GUT scale with bubble growth at moderate supercooling is discussed.

Science, 2009 The polarized distribution of P granules in a worm embryo is achieved, not by movement of the granules, but by a condensation process.
