Abstract

We investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics of the nearest-neighbour Ising model subjected to stochastic resetting, where the system is intermittently returned to an initial configuration with magnetisation m0m_0, with the inter-reset times drawn from the power law distribution ατ0α/τα+1\alpha \tau_0^\alpha / \tau^{\alpha+1}. The heavy-tailed resets generate magnetisation distributions that differ significantly from both equilibrium dynamics and the previously studied Ising model with exponentially distributed reset times. In two dimensions, for T>TCT > T_C, we find a quasi-ferro state for all α\alpha, marked by a double-peaked distribution that diverges at m=0m=0 and m=m0m=m_0; no steady state exists for α<1\alpha < 1, while a stationary state emerges for α>1\alpha > 1. For T<TCT < T_C, power law resetting produces two distinct regimes separated by a crossover exponent α=1c\alpha^* = 1-c: a single-peak ferromagnetic phase localised at meqm_{eq} for α<α\alpha < \alpha^*, and a dual-peak ferromagnetic phase with divergences at meqm_{eq} and m0m_0 for α>α\alpha > \alpha^*. Analytic results in one and two dimensions, supported by simulations, yield a rich phase diagram in the (T,α)(T,\alpha) plane and reveal how heavy-tailed resetting generates nonequilibrium phases very different from those seen in the case of exponential resetting.
