The Dyson-Ising ferromagnet is a one-dimensional Ising model with a power law interaction. When the power is between -1 and -2, the model has a phase transition. Van Enter and Le Ny proved that at sufficiently low temperatures the…

Quenched randomness can lead to robust non-equilibrium phases of matter in periodically driven (Floquet) systems. Analyzing transitions between such dynamical phases requires a method capable of treating the twin complexities of disorder…
