Pushing-Induced Arrest Across Lattices and Dimensions
Itamar Shitrit, Ofek Lauber Bonomo, Shlomi Reuveni
Tracer-media interactions can give rise to transport phenomena beyond classical models; e.g., obstacle pushing can eliminate percolation. We demonstrate that the existing "snowplow…

Pushy Random Walk: A Minimal Model for Transport in Deformable Media
Ofek Lauber Bonomo, Itamar Shitrit, Shlomi Reuveni +1
We introduce the pushy random walk, where a walker can push multiple obstacles, thereby penetrating large distances in environments with finite obstacle density. This process provi…

Sokoban percolation on the Bethe lattice
Ofek Lauber Bonomo, Itamar Shitrit, Shlomi Reuveni
`With persistence, a drop of water hollows out the stone' goes the ancient Greek proverb. Yet, canonical percolation models do not account for interactions between a moving tracer…
