Ising model with stochastic resetting

Statistical Mechanics 2020-08-12 v1

Abstract

We study the stationary properties of the Ising model that, while evolving towards its equilibrium state at temperature TT according to the Glauber dynamics, is stochastically reset to its fixed initial configuration with magnetisation m0m_0 at a constant rate rr. Resetting breaks detailed balance and drives the system to a non-equilibrium stationary state where the magnetisation acquires a nontrivial distribution, leading to a rich phase diagram in the (T,r)(T,r) plane. We establish these results exactly in one-dimension and present scaling arguments supported by numerical simulations in two-dimensions. We show that resetting gives rise to a novel "pseudo-ferro" phase in the (T,r)(T,r) plane for r>r(T)r > r^*(T) and T>TcT>T_c where r(T)r^*(T) is a crossover line separating the pseudo-ferro phase from a paramagnetic phase. This pseudo-ferro phase is characterised by a non-zero typical magnetisation and a vanishing gap near m=0m=0 of the magnetisation distribution.
