In a classical work of the 1950's, Lee and Yang proved that the zeros of the partition functions of a ferromagnetic Ising models always lie on the unit circle. Distribution of these zeros is physically important as it controls phase…
Lee-Yang zeros are points in the complex plane of an external control parameter at which the partition function vanishes for a many-body system of finite size. In the thermodynamic limit, the Lee-Yang zeros approach the critical value on…

Lee-Yang zeros are points on the complex plane of magnetic field where the partition function of a spin system is zero and therefore the free energy diverges. Lee-Yang zeros and their generalizations are ubiquitous in many-body systems and…

We investigate the Ising model in one, two, and three dimensions using a cumulant method that allows us to determine the Lee-Yang zeros from the magnetization fluctuations in small lattices. By doing so with increasing system size, we are…
The Lee-Yang property of a given spin model means that its partition function has purely imaginary zeros as a function of an external magnetic field. A similar property is also used in the theory of quantum anharmonic crystals and quantum…
We consider how the Lee-Yang description of phase transitions in terms of partition function zeros applies to nonequilibrium systems. Here one does not have a partition function, instead we consider the zeros of a steady-state normalization…
The Lee-Yang theorem for the zeroes of the partition function is not strictly applicable to quantum systems because the zeroes are defined in units of the fugacity $e^{h\Delta\tau}$, and the Euclidean-time lattice spacing $\Delta\tau$ can…

The zeros of the size-$n$ partition functions for a statistical mechanical model can be used to help understand the critical behaviour of the model as $n\to\infty$. Here we use weighted Dyck paths as a simple model of two-dimensional…
We obtain in a closed form the 1/N^2 contribution to the free energy of the two Hermitian N\times N random matrix model with non symmetric quartic potential. From this result, we calculate numerically the Yang-Lee zeros of the 2D Ising…
We revisit the somewhat less studied problem of Yang-Lee zeros of the Ising antiferromagnet. For this purpose, we study two models, the nearest-neighbor model on a square lattice, and the more tractable mean-field model corresponding to…
The microcanonical transfer matrix and its extensions offer a new way of obtaining exact partition functions on finite two dimensional lattices. We show the density of the partition function zeros in the complex x- plane for the Ising model…
We study the location of the partition function zeros in the complex beta plane (Fisher's Zeros) for SU(2) lattice gauge theory on L^4 lattices. We discuss recent attempts to locate complex zeros for L=4 and 6. We compare results obtained…
We apply the Yang-Lee theory of phase transitions to an urn model of separation of sand. The effective partition function of this nonequilibrium system can be expressed as a polynomial of the size-dependent effective fugacity $z$. Numerical…
Noninteracting fermions, placed in a system with a continuous density of states, may have zeros in the $N$-fermion canonical partition function on the positive real $\beta$ axis (or very close to it), even for a small number of particles.…
Without invoking any cumulant determination at the input level, we present here the first calculations of direct estimates of the Lee-Yang zeros of QCD partition function in (2+1)-flavor QCD. These zeros are obtained in complex isospin…
