Selective Bootstrap Percolation

Abstract

A new class of bootstrap percolation models in which particle culling occurs only for certain numbers of nearest neighbours is introduced and studied on a Bethe lattice. Upon increasing the density of initial configuration they undergo multiple hybrid (or mixed-order) phase transitions, showing that such intriguing phase behaviours may also appear in fully homogeneous situations/environments, provided that culling is selective rather than cumulative. The idea immediately extends to facilitation dynamics, suggesting a simple way to construct one-component models of multiple glasses and glass-glass transitions as well as more general coarse-grained models of complex cooperative dynamics.
