We demonstrate the nontrivial scaling behavior of Ising models defined on (i) a donut-shaped surface and (ii) a curved surface with a constant negative curvature. By performing Monte Carlo simulations, we find that the former model has two…

This paper is studying the critical regime of the planar random-cluster model on $\mathbb Z^2$ with cluster-weight $q\in[1,4)$. More precisely, we prove crossing estimates in quads which are uniform in their boundary conditions and depend…
Among the Renormalization Group Theory scaling rules relating critical exponents, there are hyperscaling rules involving the dimension of the system. It is well known that in Ising models hyperscaling breaks down above the upper critical…

We consider the planar Ising model in a finite square box and we replace the temperature parameter with a function depending on the magnetization. This creates a feedback from the spin configuration onto the parameter, which drives the…
We consider a D7-brane probe of $AdS_{5}\times S^5$ in the presence of pure gauge $B$-field. The dual gauge theory is flavored Yang-Mills theory in external magnetic field. We explore the dependence of the fermionic condensate on the bare…
