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…
