Abstract:
By an inversion symmetry, we show that in the Abelian sandpile model the probability distribution of dissipating waves of topplings that touch the boundary of the system shows a power-law relationship with critical exponent 5/8 and the probability distribution of those dissipating waves that are also last in an avalanche has an exponent of 1. Our extensive numerical simulations not only support these predictions, but also show that inversion symmetry is useful for the analysis of the two-wave probability distributions.
