We consider pairs of few-body Ising models where each spin enters a bounded number of interaction terms (bonds), such that each model can be obtained from the dual of the other after freezing $k$ spins on large-degree sites. Such a pair of…
We find by simulation that the interfaces in the exclusive-or (XOR) of two independent 2D Ising spin configurations at the critical temperature form an ensemble of loops that have the same distribution as the contour lines of the Gaussian…
This work considers an Ising model on the Apollonian network, where the exchange constant $J_{i,j}\sim1/(k_ik_j)^\mu$ between two neighboring spins $(i,j)$ is a function of the degree $k$ of both spins. Using the exact geometrical…
We investigate the scaling properties of the spin interfaces in the Ashkin-Teller model. These interfaces are a very simple instance of lattice curves coexisting with a fluctuating degree of freedom, which renders the analytical…
The high temperature limit of interacting spins is usually not associated with ordering or critical phenomena. Nevertheless, spontaneous fluctuations of a local spin polarization at equilibrium have nontrivial dynamics even in this limit.…
We study the residual entropy of a two-dimensional Ising model with crossing and four-spin interactions, both for the case that in zero magnetic field and that in an imaginary magnetic field i({\pi}/2)kT. The spin configurations of this…
We show that the equilibrium interfaces in the disordered phase have critical percolation fractal dimension over a wide range of length scales. We confirm that the system falls out of equilibrium at a temperature that depends on the cooling…
We study analytically the Ising model coupled to random lattices in dimension three and higher. The family of random lattices we use is generated by the large N limit of a colored tensor model generalizing the two-matrix model for Ising…
A one dimensional network on which there are long range bonds at lattice distances $l>1$ with the probability $P(l) \propto l^{-\delta}$ has been taken under consideration. We investigate the critical behavior of the Ising model on such a…
We consider identical copies of spin glasses in finite dimension coupled at the boundaries. This allows to identify the spin glass analogous of twisted boundary conditions in ferromagnetic system and leads to the definition of an interface…
We present basic properties of Dipolar SLEs, a new version of stochastic Loewner evolutions (SLE) in which the critical interfaces end randomly on an interval of the boundary of a planar domain. We present a general argument explaining why…
In hep-th/0312197 a nonperturbative proof of the g-theorem of Affleck and Ludwig was put forward. In this paper we illustrate how the proof of hep-th/0312197 works on the example of the 2D Ising model at criticality perturbed by a boundary…
In the ordered phase of the 3D Ising model, minority spin clusters are surrounded by a boundary of dual plaquettes. As the temperature is raised, these spin clusters become more numerous, and it is found that eventually their boundaries…
The critical 2-dimensional Ising model is studied with four types boundary conditions: free, fixed ferromagnetic, fixed antiferromagnetic, fixed double antiferromagnetic. Using Bond Propagation algorithms with surface fields, we obtained…
We rederive the finite size scaling formula for the apparent critical temperature by using Mean Field Theory for the Ising Model above the upper critical dimension. We have also performed numerical simulations in five dimensions and our…
We consider the scaling limit of a generic ferromagnetic system with a continuous phase transition, on the half plane with boundary conditions leading to the equilibrium of two different phases below criticality. We use general properties…
We have found a simple criterion which allows for the straightforward determination of the order-disorder critical temperatures. The method reproduces exactly results known for the two dimensional Ising, Potts and $Z(N<5)$ models. It also…
After having introduced the notion of universality in statistical mechanics and its importance for our comprehension of the macroscopic behavior of interacting systems, I review recent progress in the understanding of the scaling limit of…
High-temperature expansions are presently the only viable approach to the numerical calculation of the higher susceptibilities for the spin and the scalar-field models on high-dimensional lattices. The critical amplitudes of these…
The 3D Ising model and the generalized free scalar of dimension at least 0.75 belong to a continuous line of nonlocal fixed points, each referred to as a long-range Ising model. They can be distinguished by the dimension of the lightest…
