While equilibrium interfaces display universal large-scale statistics, interfaces in phase-separated active and driven systems are predicted to belong to distinct non-equilibrium universality classes. Yet, such behavior has proven difficult…
We describe a method for approximating the universal scaling functions for the Ising model in a field. By making use of parametric coordinates, the free energy scaling function has a polynomial series everywhere. Its form is taken to be a…
We study the dressing of operators and flows of corresponding couplings in models of {\it embedded} random surfaces. We show that these dressings can be obtained by applying the methods of David and Distler and Kawai. We consider two…

Consider the Ising model at low-temperatures and positive external field $\lambda$ on an $N\times N$ box with Dobrushin boundary conditions that are plus on the north, east, and west boundaries and minus on the south boundary. If $\lambda =…
We compute the probability distribution of the interface width at the depinning threshold, using recent powerful algorithms. It confirms the universality classes found previously. In all cases, the distribution is surprisingly well…
The two-point correlation functions of statistical models show in general both poles and cuts in momentum space. The former correspond to the spectrum of massive excitations of the model, while the latter originate from interaction effects,…
Interfaces in three-dimensional many-body systems can exhibit rich phenomena beyond the corresponding bulk properties. In particular, they can fluctuate and give rise to massless low energy degrees of freedom even in the presence of a…
A new diffuse interface model for a two-phase flow of two incompressible fluids with different densities is introduced using methods from rational continuum mechanics. The model fulfills local and global dissipation inequalities and is…
We show that a Nambu-Goto string has a nontrivial zero length limit which corresponds to a massless particle with extrinsic curvature. The system has the set of six first class constraints, which restrict the phase space variables so that…

For the 3D gonihedric Ising models defined by Savvidy and Wegner the bare string tension is zero and the energy of a spin interface depends only on the number of bends and self-intersections, in antithesis to the standard nearest-neighbour…
We investigate three Ising models on the simple cubic lattice by means of Monte Carlo methods and finite-size scaling. These models are the spin-1/2 Ising model with nearest-neighbor interactions, a spin-1/2 model with nearest-neighbor and…
The Ising model was generalized to a system of cells interacting exclusively by presence of shared spins. Within the cells there are interactions of any complexity, the simplest intracell interactions come down to the Ising model. The…
