We define a 2-dimensional Ising model on a triangulated sphere, $\mathbb S^2$, designed to approach the exact conformal field theory (CFT) in the continuum limit. Surprisingly, the derivation leads to a set of geometric constraints that the…

In the Ising model, we consider the problem of estimating the covariance of the spins at two specified vertices. In the ferromagnetic case, it is easy to obtain an additive approximation to this covariance by repeatedly sampling from the…
Dynamics under which a system of Ising spins relaxes to a stationary state with Bolzmann-Gibbs measure and which do not fulfil the condition of detailed balance are irreversible and asymmetric. We revisit the problem of the determination of…
The Ising model is studied on a series of hyperbolic two-dimensional lattices which are formed by tessellation of triangles on negatively curved surfaces. In order to treat the hyperbolic lattices, we propose a generalization of the corner…
We study a spin system on a large box with both Ising interaction and Sherrington-Kirpatrick couplings, in the presence of an external field. Our results are: (i) existence of the pressure in the limit of an infinite box. When both Ising…
The dynamic evolution at zero temperature of a uniform Ising ferromagnet on a square lattice is followed by Monte Carlo computer simulations. The system always eventually reaches a final, absorbing state, which sometimes coincides with a…
We consider the two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) Ising model on a square lattice at the critical temperature $T_c$, under Monte-Carlo spin flip dynamics. The bulk magnetisation and the magnetisation of a tagged line in the 2D Ising…
We establish that the Fourier modes of the magnetization serve as the dynamical eigenmodes for the two-dimensional Ising model at the critical temperature with local spin-exchange moves, i.e., Kawasaki dynamics. We obtain the dynamical…
The q-state ferromagnetic Potts model under a non-zero magnetic field coupled with the 0^th Potts state was investigated by an exact real-space renormalization group approach. The model was defined on a family of diamond hierarchical…
A brief review is given on the study of the thermodynamic properties of spin models defined on different topologies like small-world, scale-free networks, random graphs and regular and random lattices. Ising, Potts and Blume-Capel models…
We prove that the q-states Potts model on graph is spontaneously magnetized at finite temperature if and only if the graph presents percolation on the average. Percolation on the average is a combinatorial problem defined by averaging over…
We show how the spontaneous bulk, surface and corner magnetizations in the square lattice Ising model can all be obtained within one approach. The method is based on functional equations which follow from the properties of corner transfer…
We study the sign distribution of generalized magnetic susceptibilities in the temperature-external magnetic field plane using the three-dimensional three-state Potts model. We find that the sign of odd-order susceptibility is opposite in…
We consider polynomial long-range Ising models in one dimension, with ferromagnetic pair interactions decaying with power $2-\alpha$ (for $0 \leq \alpha < 1$), and prepared with randomly chosen boundary conditions. We show that at low…
The Hamiltonian for a system of itinerant particles on a two-dimensional lattice in a uniform magnetic field reduces the translational symmetry to a magnetic translation group, because of the need to choose a particular gauge for the vector…
