| Abstract: | The Abelian Sand pile (AS) is a model originally introduced by physicists to simulate what is known as "self-organized complexity". Models exhibiting this phenomenon typically have some form of "avalanche dynamics" , where "stress" is built up until system becomes unstable. On reaching instability, the system reorganizes itself quickly to re-attain stability. Examples are sandpile or avalanche. Although the AS is primarily a physical model, it has a very interesting algebraic structure which merits investigation. |
