As is known, at the Gibbs-Boltzmann equilibrium, the mean-field $q$-state Potts model with a ferromagnetic coupling has only a first order phase transition when $q\geq 3$, while there is no phase transition for an antiferromagnetic…

This paper introduces complex dynamics methods to study dynamical quantum phase transitions in the one- and two-dimensional quantum 3-state Potts model. The quench involves switching off an infinite transverse field. The time-dependent…

We investigate the density of states (DOS) in an antiferromagnetic spin-system on a square lattice described by the Blume-Capel (BC) model. We use a new and very efficient simulation method, proposed by Wang and Landau, in which we estimate…
We construct local generalizations of 3-state Potts models with exotic critical points. We analytically show that these are described by non-diagonal modular invariant partition functions of products of $Z_3$ parafermion or $u(1)_6$…
The q-state Potts antiferromagnet on a lattice $\Lambda$ exhibits nonzero ground state entropy $S_0=k_B \ln W$ for sufficiently large q and hence is an exception to the third law of thermodynamics. An outstanding challenge has been the…
For any integers $d,q\ge 3$, we consider the $q$-state ferromagnetic Potts model with an external field on a sequence of expander graphs that converges to the $d$-regular tree $\mathtt{T}_d$ in the Benjamini-Schramm sense. We show that…
Conformal fields with boundaries give rise to rich critical phenomena that can reveal information about the underlying conformality. While most existing studies focus on Hermitian systems, here we explore boundary critical phenomena in a…
The 3-D Z(3) Potts model is a model for finite temperature QCD with heavy quarks. The chemical potential in QCD becomes an external magnetic field in the Potts model. Following Alford et al.\cite{Alford_et_al}, we revisit this mapping, and…
We present generalized methods for calculating lower bounds on the ground-state entropy per site, $S_0$, or equivalently, the ground-state degeneracy per site, $W=e^{S_0/k_B}$, of the antiferromagnetic Potts model. We use these methods to…
We prove the existence of long-range order at sufficiently low temperatures, including zero temperature, for the three-state Potts antiferromagnet on a class of quasi-transitive plane quadrangulations, including the diced lattice. More…
We present exact results on the partition function of the $q$-state Potts model on various families of graphs $G$ in a generalized external magnetic field that favors or disfavors spin values in a subset $I_s = \{1,...,s\}$ of the total set…
