The Ising model is widely regarded as the most studied model of spin-systems in statistical physics. The focus of this paper is its dynamic (stochastic) version, the Glauber dynamics, introduced in 1963 and by now the most popular means of…
We give the first comprehensive analysis of the effect of boundary conditions on the mixing time of the Glauber dynamics in the so-called Bethe approximation. Specifically, we show that spectral gap and the log-Sobolev constant of the…

In this note, we prove that on any graph of maximal degree $d$ the mixing time of the Glauber Dynamics for the Ising Model at $\beta_c=\tanh^{-1}(\frac1{d-1})$, the uniqueness threshold on the infinite $d$-regular tree, is at most…
We consider the Ising model on a general tree under various boundary conditions: all plus, free and spin-glass. In each case, we determine when the root is influenced by the boundary values in the limit as the boundary recedes to infinity.…
Consider random $d$-regular graphs, i.e., random graphs such that there are exactly $d$ edges from each vertex for some $d\ge 3$. We study both the configuration model version of this graph, which has occasional multi-edges and self-loops,…
We study the critical behavior of the ferromagnetic Ising model on random trees as well as so-called locally tree-like random graphs. We pay special attention to trees and graphs with a power-law offspring or degree distribution whose tail…

In Ising model on the simple cubic lattice, we describe the inverse temperature \beta in terms of the bare-mass M and study its critical behavior by the use of delta expansion from high temperature or large M side. In the vicinity of…
We study the multi-component Ising model, which is also known as the block Ising model. In this model, the particles are partitioned into a fixed number of groups with a fixed proportion, and the interaction strength is determined by the…
We consider Glauber dynamics for the Ising model on the complete graph on $n$ vertices, known as the Curie-Weiss model. It is well-known that the mixing-time in the high temperature regime ($\beta < 1$) has order $n\log n$, whereas the…

The ferromagnetic Ising model on an $n\times n$ square lattice region $\Lambda$ with mixed boundary conditions can exhibit a phase transition as temperature varies. For this spin system, if we fix the spins on the top and bottom sides of…
