A certain two-dimensional lattice model with nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions is known to have a limit-periodic ground state. We show that during a slow quench from the high temperature, disordered phase, the ground state…
Role of range of interactions in a model of charged particles diffusing on a two-dimensional lattice is studied. We investigate, via Monte Carlo simulations, three models. In the first one interactions are restricted to nearest neighbors,…

Over the last few years lattice techniques have been used to investigate candidate theories of new physics beyond the Standard Model. This review gives a survey of results from these studies. Most of these investigations have been of…
We derive exact density functionals for systems of hard rods with first-neighbor interactions of arbitrary shape but limited range on a one-dimensional lattice. The size of all rods is the same integer unit of the lattice constant. The…
Magnetic fluids are colloidal suspensions of ferromagnetic particles covered with a surfactant layer, dispersed in a host liquid. The existence of cooperative phenomena in such magnetic colloidal systems, makes the determining of their…
When two molecular species with mutual affinity are mixed together, various self-assembled phases can arise at low temperature, depending on the shape of like and unlike interactions. Among them, stripes -- where layers of one type are…
Experimental testing on dry woven fabrics exhibits a complex set of evidences that are difficult to be completely described using classical continuum models. The aim of this paper is to show how the introduction of energy terms related to…
How do the latent spaces used by independently-trained LLMs relate to one another? We study the nearest neighbor relationships induced by activations at different layers of 24 open-weight LLMs, and find that they 1) tend to vary from layer…
The main subject of this thesis rests on the study ---at different levels of description--- of instabilities in systems which are driven, i.e., maintained far from equilibrium by an external forcing. We focus here on two main classes,…
New aspects of a relation between lattice and dislocation structures are examined within a physically transparent theoretical scheme. Predicted features originating from the lattice discreteness include: (i) multiple core dislocation…
Correlation of interacting particles is studied in their dynamics and localization in ideal and disordered lattice systems with the help of numerical tools. Both 1D and 2D systems are considered. In 1D lattices with long-range hopping,…

The k-neighbor graph is a directed percolation model on the hypercubic lattice Z d in which each vertex independently picks exactly k of its 2d nearest neighbors at random, and we open directed edges towards those. We prove that the…
We investigate the connections between some simple Maier-Saupe lattice models, with a discrete choice of orientations of the microscopic directors, and a recent proposal of a two-tensor formalism to describe the phase diagrams of nematic…
