The free energy and finite size effects are calculated for the system of 2 Derrida's models with fixed constraint between the spin configurations. Calculation were performed for the Random Energy Model approach.
We discuss the origin and relevance for computer simulations of a strong finite-size effect that appears when using the Ewald summation formula. It can be understood as arising from a volume-dependent shift of the potential in a finite,…
We calculate the explicit expression of the effective potential in a $\lambda\phi^4$ theory at finite temperature in a static universe for arbitrary spacetime dimensions (2\leq D < 5). To study the combined effects of the temperature and…
In a recent work [Reible et al., Phys. Rev. Res. 5, 023156, 2023], it has been shown that the mean particle-particle interaction across an ideal surface that divides a system into two parts, can be employed to estimate the size dependence…

The Ewald3D sum with the tinfoil boundary condition (e3dtf) evaluates the electrostatic energy of a finite unit cell inside an infinitely periodic supercell. Although it has been used as a {\it de facto} standard treatment of electrostatics…
Using lattice simulations of quenched QCD we estimate the finite size effects present when a gluon plasma equilibrates in a slab geometry, i.e., finite width but large transverse dimensions. Significant differences are observed in the free…
The present review is devoted to the problems of finite-size scaling due to the presence of long-range interaction decaying at large distance as $1/r^{d+\sigma}$, $\sigma>0$. The attention is focused mainly on the renormalization group…
We solve the mean-field $\phi^4$ model in an external magnetic field in the microcanonical ensemble using two different methods. The first one is based on Rugh's microcanonical formalism and leads to express macroscopic observables, such as…
We present a unified view of finite-size scaling (FSS) in dimension d above the upper critical dimension, for both free and periodic boundary conditions. We find that the modified FSS proposed some time ago to allow for violation of…
Profound finite size effects are observed in both the moment and ordering temperature in thin Co$_{70}$Zr$_{30}$ layers. The results are consistent with the presence of interface regions with reduced magnetic interactions and moment. The…

The ground state and low T behavior of two-dimensional spin systems with discrete binary couplings are subtle but can be analyzed using exact computations of finite volume partition functions. We first apply this approach to Villain's fully…
We consider new models of dark energy with finite time future singularities, by introducing the pressure density as a function of the scale factor. This approach gives acceptable phenomenological models of dark energy, practically…
We consider the spontaneously broken regime of the $O(n)$ vector model in $d=n+1$ space-time dimensions, with boundary conditions enforcing the presence of a topological defect line. Comparing theory and finite size dependence of one-point…
We discuss the lambda phi**4 model in 2- and 3-dimensional non-commutative spaces. The mapping onto a Hermitian matrix model enables its non-perturbative investigation by Monte Carlo simulations. The numerical results reveal a phase where…
