Parafermionic observables were introduced by Smirnov for planar FK percolation in order to study the critical phase $(p,q)=(p_c(q),q)$. This article gathers several known properties of these observables. Some of these properties are used to…
The Ashkin-Teller model can be formulated as a pair of 2D Ising models, interacting via a four-spin interaction. I consider the case of weak anisotropy (slight a-symmetry between the two Ising layers) and weak coupling. I show that the…
I study the properties of the quantum critical point of the transverse-field quantum Ising model on various fractal lattices such as the Sierpi\'nski carpet, Sierpi\'nski gasket, and Sierpi\'nski tetrahedron. Using a continuous-time quantum…
We consider the Fradkin-Shenker ${\mathbb Z}_2$ gauge-Higgs lattice model in 2+1 dimensions, i.e. the toric code deformed by an in-plane magnetic field. Its phase diagram contains a multicritical CFT with gapless, mutually non-local…
We present estimates for the 3D Ising model on the cubic lattice, both regarding interface and bulk properties. We have results for the interface tension, in particular the amplitude sigma0 in the critical law sigma = sigma0*t**mu, and for…
We discuss the possibility to cleanly distinguish, in electron-positron annihilation into fermion pairs at a high energy collider, the indirect manifestations of graviton exchange from those of four-fermion contact interactions. The method…
Critical wetting transitions under nonequilibrium conditions are studied numerically and analytically by means of an interface-displacement model defined by a Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation, plus some extra terms representing a limiting,…
We present a new unified theory of critical finite-size scaling for lattice statistical mechanical models with periodic boundary conditions above the upper critical dimension. Our theory is based on recent mathematically rigorous results…
The quasiclassical asymptotics of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation with values in the tensor product of sl(2)- representations are considered. The first term of asymptotics is an eigenvector of a system of commuting operators. We show…
An infinite set of operator-valued relations that hold for reducible representations of the sl(2)_k algebra is derived. These relations are analogous to those recently obtained by Zamolodchikov which involve logarithmic fields associated to…
The critical behaviour of correlation functions near a boundary is modified from that in the bulk. When the boundary is smooth this is known to be characterised by the surface scaling dimension $\xt$. We consider the case when the boundary…
The de Almeida-Thouless (AT) line in Ising spin glasses is the phase boundary in the temperature $T$ and magnetic field $h$ plane below which replica symmetry is broken. Using perturbative renormalization group (RG) methods, we show that…
We point out that the construction of a martingale observable describing the spin interface of the two-dimensional Ising model extends to a class of non-integrable variants of the two-dimensional Ising model, and express it in terms of…
The analytic, nonlinear integral equation approach is used to calculate the finite-size corrections to the transfer matrix eigen-spectra of the critical dilute O(n) model on the square periodic lattice. The resulting bulk conformal weights…
Understanding phase transitions requires not only identifying order parameters but also characterizing how their correlations behave across scales. By quantifying how fluctuations at distinct spatial or temporal points are related,…
In this exposition, we consider the dimer problem on an infinite square lattice with partially non-periodic edge weights, which we refer to as the square lattice with interface. In particular, we compute an exact integral form of the…
The fractal dimension of excitations in glassy systems gives information on the critical dimension at which the droplet picture of spin glasses changes to a description based on replica symmetry breaking where the interfaces are space…
We find the scaling limits of a general class of boundary-to-boundary connection probabilities and multiple interfaces in the critical planar FK-Ising model, thus verifying predictions from the physics literature. We also discuss…
A fully anisotropic simple-cubic Ising lattice in the geometry of periodic cylinders $n\times n\times\infty$ is investigated by the transfer-matrix finite-size scaling method. In addition to the previously obtained critical amplitudes of…
We explore a scenario where local interactions form one-dimensional gapped interfaces between a pair of distinct chiral two-dimensional topological states - referred to as phases 1 and 2 - such that each gapped region terminates at a domain…
