We formulate a continuous version of the well known discrete hardcore (or independent set) model on a locally finite graph, parameterized by the so-called activity parameter $\lambda > 0$. In this version, the state or "spin value" $x_u$ of…
A lattice formulation of the $O(1,2)/O(2)\times Z_2$ sigma model is developed, based on the continuum theory presented in the preceding paper. Special attention is given to choosing a lattice action (the ``geodesic'' action) that is…
We study the dynamics of SU(2) gauge theory with NF=6 Dirac fermions by means of lattice simulation to investigate if they are appropriate to realization of electroweak symmetry breaking. The discrete analogue of beta function for the…
We study the lattice N=1 Wess-Zumino model in two dimensions and we construct a sequence $\rho^{(L)}$ of exact lower bounds on its ground state energy density $\rho$, converging to $\rho$ in the limit $L\to\infty$. The bounds $\rho^{(L)}$…
By modifying the automaton used by P{\"o}nitz and Tittman [4], and considering loops of length up to 26, we obtain 2.662343 as an upper bound for the connective constant in the lattice Z 2 .
We study the Gibbs statistics of high-density hard-core configurations on a unit square lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$, for a general Euclidean exclusion distance $D$. As a by-product, we solve the disk-packing problem on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ for disks…
In our model, spinless fermions (or hardcore bosons) on a square lattice hop to nearest neighbor sites, and also experience a hard-core repulsion at the nearest neighbor separation. This is the simplest model of correlated electrons and is…

The critical behavior of two-dimensional ${\rm O}(N)$ $\sigma$ models with $N\leq 2$ on the square, triangular, and honeycomb lattices is investigated by an analysis of the strong-coupling expansion of the two-point fundamental Green's…
In this paper we give an improved upper bound for critical value $\lambda_c$ of the basic contact process on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with $d\geq 3$. As a direct corollary of out result, \[ \lambda_c\leq 0.384. \] when $d=3$.
We perform a rigorous study of the Gibbs statistics of high-density hard-core random configurations on a unit triangular lattice $\mathbb{A}_2$ and a unit honeycomb graph $\mathbb{H}_2$, for any value of the (Euclidean) repulsion diameter…
We study the problem of approximately counting matchings in hypergraphs of bounded maximum degree and maximum size of hyperedges. With an activity parameter $\lambda$, each matching $M$ is assigned a weight $\lambda^{|M|}$. The counting…
Strong theoretical arguments suggest that the Higgs sector of the Standard Model of the Electroweak interactions is an effective low-energy theory, with a more fundamental theory that is expected to emerge at an energy scale of the order of…
We give structured proofs for five mathematical propositions governing synchronous peer-to-peer computation on a finite grid graph embedded in $\mathbb{Z}^2$. Proposition 1 gives three lower bounds: a transport-work bound $\sum_i a_i \ell_i…
The model of self-avoiding lattice walks and the asymptotic analysis of power-series have been two of the major research themes of Tony Guttmann. In this paper we bring the two together and perform a new analysis of the generating functions…

We consider the Constrained-degree percolation model on the hypercubic lattice, $\mathbb L^d=(\mathbb Z^d,\mathbb E^d)$ for $d\geq 3$. It is a continuous time percolation model defined by a sequence, $(U_e)_{e\in\mathbb E^d}$, of i.i.d.…
