We prove a long-standing conjecture on random-cluster models, namely that the critical point for such models with parameter $q\geq1$ on the square lattice is equal to the self-dual point $p_{sd}(q) = \sqrt q /(1+\sqrt q)$. This gives a…
A one-dimensional (1D) $q$-state Potts model with $N$ sites, $m$-site interaction $K$ in a field $H$ is studied for arbitrary values of $m$. Exact results for the partition function and the two-point correlation function are obtained at…
We show that instantaneous configurations of 180 degree domain walls constructed on a square lattice in a two-dimensional and S=1/2 Ising-type model exhibit fractal structure. The fractal dimension depends on the coupling parameters and it…
The fractal dimension of domain walls produced by changing the boundary conditions from periodic to anti-periodic in one spatial direction is studied using both the strong-disorder renormalization group and the greedy algorithm for the…
We investigate the damage spreading effect in the Fortuin-Kasteleyn random cluster model for 2- and 3-dimensional grids with periodic boundary. For 2D the damage function has a global maximum at $p=\sqrt{q}/(1+\sqrt{q})$ for all $q>0$ and…
The q-state Potts model in two dimensions exhibits a first-order transition for q>4. As q->4+ the correlation length at this transition diverges. We argue that this limit defines a massive integrable quantum field theory whose lowest…

Recently, Ang--Cai--Sun--Wu (2024) determined the three-point connectivity constant for two-dimensional critical percolation, confirming a prediction of Delfino and Viti (2010). In this paper, we address the analogous problem for planar…
In a recent paper, we considered the effects of the torus lattice topology on the two-point connectivity of $Q-$ Potts clusters. These effects are universal and probe non-trivial structure constants of the theory. We complete here this work…
Inspired by the multicanonical approach to simulations of first-order phase transitions we propose for $q$-state Potts models a combination of cluster updates with reweighting of the bond configurations in the…
Making use of a recent complete calculation of a chiral six-point correlation function C(z) in a rectangle we calculate various quantities of interest for percolation (SLE parameter \kappa = 6) and many other two-dimensional critical…
We examine the scaling of the inverse participation ratio of spin coherent states in the energy basis of three collective spin systems: a bounded harmonic oscillator, the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model, and the Quantum Kicked Top. The…
We investigate the ferromagnetic $q$-state Potts model on spherical Fibonacci graphs. These graphs are constructed by embedding quasi-uniform sites on a sphere and defining interactions via a chord-distance cutoff chosen to yield a network…
We perform Monte Carlo simulations using the Wolff cluster algorithm of {\it multiple} $q=2,3,4$ state Potts models on dynamical phi-cubed graphs of spherical topology in order to investigate the $c>1$ region of two-dimensional quantum…
The Q-state Potts model can be extended to noninteger and even complex Q in the FK representation. In the FK representation the partition function,Z(Q,a), is a polynomial in Q and v=a-1(a=e^-T) and the coefficients of this…
Using the random-cluster representation of the $q$-state Potts models we consider the pooling of data from cluster-update Monte Carlo simulations for different thermal couplings $K$ and number of states per spin $q$. Proper combination of…
We study $q=10$ and $q=200$ state Potts models on dynamical triangulated lattices and demonstrate that these models exhibit continuous phase transitions, contrary to the first order transition present on regular lattices. For $q=10$ the…
We study a $q$-state Potts model on the square grid when $q>4$ at the point $T_c(q)$ of its (discontinous) transition. This model exhibits exactly $q+1$ extremal Gibbs measures: $q$ ordered (monochromatic) and one disordered (free). The…
We use analytic bootstrap techniques for a CFT with an interface or a boundary. Exploiting the analytic structure of the bulk and boundary conformal blocks we extract the CFT data. We further constrain the CFT data by applying the equation…
The Potts conformal field theory is an analytic continuation in the central charge of conformal field theory describing the critical two-dimensional $Q$-state Potts model. Four-point functions of the Potts conformal field theory are…
