The universality class of the dynamic magnetisation-reversal transition, induced by a competing field pulse, in an Ising model on a square lattice, below its static ordering temperature, is studied here using Monte Carlo simulations. Fourth…
We introduce a family of lattice-gas models of flocking, whose thermodynamically consistent dynamics admits a proper equilibrium limit at vanishing self-propulsion. These models are amenable to an exact coarse-graining which allows us to…

We construct a model of short-range interacting Ising spins on a translationally invariant two-dimensional lattice that mimics a reversible circuit that multiplies or factorizes integers, depending on the choice of boundary conditions. We…
We extend recent results on the exact hydrodynamics of a system of diffusive active particles displaying a motility-induced phase separation to account for typical fluctuations of the dynamical fields. By calculating correlation functions…
We introduce a diffusion model for energetically inhomogeneous systems. A random walker moves on a spin-S Ising configuration, which generates the energy landscape on the lattice through the nearest-neighbors interaction. The underlying…
The ferromagnetic transition in the Ising model is the paradigmatic example of ergodicity breaking accompanied by symmetry breaking. It is routinely assumed that the thermodynamic limit is taken with free or periodic boundary conditions.…
We investigate the geometric properties displayed by the magnetic patterns developing on a two-dimensional Ising system, when a diffusive thermal dynamics is adopted. Such a dynamics is generated by a random walker which diffuses throughout…
Fluids with competing short range attraction and long range repulsive interactions between the particles can exhibit a variety of microphase separated structures. We develop a lattice-gas (generalised Ising) model and analyse the phase…
The two-dimensional Ising model with fixed magnetization is studied using Monte Carlo techniques. At the coexistence line, the macroscopic, extensive droplet of minority spins becomes thermally unstable by breaking up into microscopic…
A spin-1 Ising model incorporating positional order to a standard lattice gas with no attractive interactions is introduced and found to be consistent with all known attributes of the freezing transition of the hard-sphere system.…
We construct the hydrodynamic theory of coherent collective motion ("flocking") at a solid-liquid interface. The polar order parameter and concentration of a collection of "active" (self-propelled) particles at a planar interface between a…
Turbulent vortex structures emerging in bacterial active fluids can be organized into regular vortex lattices by weak geometrical constraints such as obstacles. Here we show, using a continuum-theoretical approach, that the formation and…
We show that the flocking transition in the Vicsek model is best understood as a liquid-gas transition, rather than an order-disorder one. The full phase separation observed in flocking models with Z2 rotational symmetry is, however,…
Magnetic behaviour of a mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising model on the diced lattice is studied by the use of an exact star-triangle mapping transformation. It is found that the uniaxial as well as biaxial single-ion anisotropy acting on the…
We present the hydrodynamic theory of coherent collective motion ("flocking") at a solid-liquid interface, and many of its predictions for experiment. We find that such systems are stable, and have long-range orientational order, over a…
A review is given on some recent developments in the theory of the Ising model in a random field. This model is a good representation of a large number of impure materials. After a short repetition of earlier arguments, which prove the…
A hybrid lattice-statistical model of doubly decorated two-dimensional lattices, which have localized Ising spins at its nodal sites and itinerant electrons delocalized over decorating sites, is exactly solved with the help of a generalized…
We consider zero-temperature, stochastic Ising models with nearest-neighbor interactions in two and three dimensions. Using both symmetric and asymmetric initial configurations, we study the evolution of the system with time. We examine the…
We introduce an alternative thermal diffusive dynamics for the spin-S Ising ferromagnet realized by means of a random walker. The latter hops across the sites of the lattice and flips the relevant spins according to a probability depending…
