The Potts model with invisible states was introduced to explain discrepancies between theoretical predictions and experimental observations of phase transitions in some systems where $Z_q$ symmetry is spontaneously broken. It differs from…
We consider the two dimensional $Q-$ random-cluster Potts model on the torus and at the critical point. We study the probability for two points to be connected by a cluster for general values of $Q\in [1,4]$. Using a Conformal Field Theory…
The theoretical basis of continuum percolation has changed greatly since its beginning as little more than an analogy with lattice systems. Nevertheless, there is yet no comprehensive theory of this field. A basis for such a theory is…
We present a recursive method to calculate a large q expansion of the 2d q-states Potts model free energies based on the Fortuin-Kasteleyn representation of the model. With this procedure, we compute directly the ordered phase partition…
We describe the interplay of quantum and thermal fluctuations in the infinite-range Heisenberg spin glass. This model is generalized to SU(N) symmetry, and we describe the phase diagram as a function of the spin S and the temperature T. The…
Averaged spin-spin correlation function squared $\overline{<\sigma(0)\sigma(R)>^{2}}$ is calculated for the ferromagnetic random bond Potts model. The technique being used is the renormalization group plus conformal field theory. The…
Magnetic-field-induced phase transitions were studied with a two-dimensional electron AlGaAs/GaAs system. The temperature-driven flow diagram shows the features of the $\Gamma$(2) modular symmetry, which includes distorted flowlines and…

In the Ising and Potts model, random cluster representations provide a geometric interpretation to spin correlations. We discuss similar constructions for the Villain and XY models, where spins take values in the circle, as well as…
In studies of the QCD deconfining phase transition or crossover by means of heavy ion experiments, one ought to be concerned about non-equilibrium effects due to heating and cooling of the system. Motivated by this, we look at hysteresis…

For every $0 < s <3/4$, we study the asymptotic behavior of the $\varepsilon$-rescaled sum of the $s$-fractional Allen-Cahn energy and the squared $L^2$-norm of its first variation. We prove that the contribution of the first variation…
We consider the scaling limit of the two-dimensional $q$-state Potts model for $q\leq 4$. We use the exact scattering theory proposed by Chim and Zamolodchikov to determine the one and two-kink form factors of the energy, order and disorder…
