We consider Markov random fields of discrete spins on the lattice $\Zd$. We use a technique of coupling of conditional distributions. If under the coupling the disagreement cluster is "sufficiently" subcritical, then we prove the Poincar\'e…

This paper deals with the stochastic Ising model with a temperature shrinking to zero as time goes to infinity. A generalization of the Glauber dynamics is considered, on the basis of the existence of simultaneous flips of some spins. Such…
We study the convergence properties of Glauber dynamics for the random field Ising model (RFIM) with ferromagnetic interactions on finite domains of $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d \ge 2$. Of particular interest is the Griffiths phase where correlations…
The time-dependent scaling of the two-time autocorrelation function of spin systems without disorder undergoing phase-ordering kinetics is considered. Its form is shown to be determined by an extension of dynamical scaling to a local…
The study by Glauber of the time-dependent statistics of the Ising chain is extended to the case where each spin is influenced unequally by its nearest neighbours. The asymmetry of the dynamics implies the failure of the detailed balance…
The dynamics of the spins in the Ising model are analyzed using a virtual walk scenario. The system is quenched from a very high temperature to a lower one using the Glauber scheme in one and two dimensions. A walk is associated with each…
We show that the generating functional describing the slow dynamics of spin glass systems is invariant under reparametrizations of the time. This result is general and applies for both infinite and short range models. It follows simply from…
