New Directions in Theoretical Physics 5
EPL was proud to kick off its 40th Anniversary year by sponsoring New Directions in Theoretical Physics 5, a conference held every three years at the Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics in Edinburgh. 
 

Perspectives

Some of the many uses of scalar fields: Kinks, lumps, and geometric constraints

This perspective deals with real scalar fields in two-dimensional spacetime. We focus on models described by one and two real scalar fields, paying closer attention to kinks and lumps, which are localized structures of current interest in high-energy physics and in other areas of nonlinear science.

How universal is the mean-field universality class for percolation in complex networks?

Clustering and degree correlations are ubiquitous in real-world complex networks. Yet, understanding their role in critical phenomena remains a challenge for theoretical studies. Here, we provide the exact solution of site percolation in a model for strongly clustered random graphs, with many overlapping loops and heterogeneous degree distribution…

The Editor-in-Chief and the Deputy Editors team

Members of EPL’s Deputy Editors Board provide additional expertise when necessary to the Co-Editors and the Editor-in-Chief, and can act as adjudicators in the refereeing process.

Authors' feedback

“Overall, it was a very positive experience. The editorial team was professional, and the peer review feedback was insightful and significantly improved the manuscript. I appreciate the clear communication throughout.”
