Ising Model with Power Law Resetting
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 , with the inter-reset times drawn from the power law distribution . 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 , we find a quasi-ferro state for all , marked by a double-peaked distribution that diverges at and ; no steady state exists for , while a stationary state emerges for . For , power law resetting produces two distinct regimes separated by a crossover exponent : a single-peak ferromagnetic phase localised at for , and a dual-peak ferromagnetic phase with divergences at and for . Analytic results in one and two dimensions, supported by simulations, yield a rich phase diagram in the plane and reveal how heavy-tailed resetting generates nonequilibrium phases very different from those seen in the case of exponential resetting.
