Abstract

The time and size distributions of the waves of topplings in the Abelian sandpile model are expressed as the first arrival at the origin distribution for a scale invariant, time-inhomogeneous Fokker-Plank equation. Assuming a linear conjecture for the time inhomogeneity exponent as a function of a loop-erased random walk (LERW) critical exponent, suggested by numerical results, this approach allows one to estimate the lower critical dimension of the model and the exact value of the critical exponent for LERW in three dimensions. The avalanche size distribution in two dimensions is found to be the difference between two closed power laws.
