We prove universality of spin correlations in the scaling limit of the planar Ising model on isoradial graphs with uniformly bounded angles and Z-invariant weights. Specifically, we show that in the massive scaling limit, i.e., as the mesh…
A matrix is totally positive if all of its minors are positive. This notion of positivity coincides with the type A version of Lusztig's more general total positivity in reductive real-split algebraic groups. Since skew-symmetric matrices…
We consider a zero-field Ising model defined on a quasiperiodic graph, the so-called Labyrinth tiling. Exact information about the critical behaviour is obtained from duality arguments and the subclass of models which yield commuting…
We rigorously prove the existence and the conformal invariance of scaling limits of the magnetization and multi-point spin correlations in the critical Ising model on arbitrary simply connected planar domains. This solves a number of…
A matrix $A$ is totally positive (or non-negative) of order $k$, denoted $TP_k$ (or $TN_k$), if all minors of size $\leq k$ are positive (or non-negative). It is well-known that such matrices are characterized by the variation diminishing…
We present local mappings that relate the marginal probabilities of a global probability mass function represented by its primal normal factor graph to the corresponding marginal probabilities in its dual normal factor graph. The mapping is…
We present a comprehensive numerical study of dynamic phase transitions in the two-dimensional kinetic Ising model under a non-antisymmetric time-dependent magnetic field including a sinusoidal term and a second harmonic component. We…
A rectangular matrix is called totally positive, if all its minors are positive. A point of a real Grassmanian manifold $G_{l,m}$ of $l$-dimensional subspaces in $\mathbb R^m$ is called strictly totally positive, if one can normalize its…
The following theorem is proved: Suppose $M = (a_{i,j})$ be a $k \times k$ matrix with positive entries and $a_{i,j}a_{i+1,j+1} > 4\cos ^2 \frac{\pi}{k+1} a_{i,j+1}a_{i+1,j} \quad (1 \leq i \leq k-1, 1 \leq j \leq k-1).$ Then $\det M > 0 .$…
We consider long strips of finite width $L \leq 13$ sites of ferromagnetic Ising spins with random couplings distributed according to the binary distribution: $P(J_{ij})= {1 \over 2} ( \delta (J_{ij} -J_0) + \delta (J_{ij} -rJ_0) ) ,\ 0 < r…
We show that the two point correlation matrix $ \textbf{M}= (\langle \sigma_i \sigma_j\rangle)_{1\leq i,j\leq N} $ of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model with zero external field satisfies \[ \lim_{N\to\infty} \| \textbf{M} - ( 1+\beta^2 -…
We study the spin n-point functions of the planar Ising model on a simply connected domain \Omega discretised by the square lattice \delta\mathbb{Z}^{2} under near-critical scaling limit. While the scaling limit on the full-plane \mathbb{C}…
We study the zero-temperature stochastic Ising model on some connected planar quasi-transitive graphs, which are invariant under rotation and translation. The initial spin configuration is distributed according to a Bernoulli product…
Using Monte Carlo simulations we study the Ising model with spin S=1/2 and 1 on {\it directed} and {\it undirected} Erd\"os-R\'enyi (ER) random graphs, with $z$ neighbors for each spin. In the case with spin S=1/2, the {\it undirected} and…
We study the statistical Ising model of spins on the infinite lattice using a bootstrap method that combines spin-flip identities with positivity conditions, including reflection positivity and Griffiths inequalities, to derive rigorous…
Recently, a novel model to describe ordering in systems comprising agents which, although matching in their binarity (i.e., maintaining the iconic Ising features of ``+'' or ``-'', ``up'' or ``down'', ``yes'' or ``no''), still differing in…
The bulk and boundary magnetizations are calculated for the critical Ising model on a randomly triangulated disk in the presence of a boundary magnetic field h. In the continuum limit this model corresponds to a c = 1/2 conformal field…
The Ising model, in presence of an external magnetic field, is isomorphic to a model of localized interacting particles satisfying the Fermi statistics. By using this isomorphism, we construct a general solution of the Ising model which…
We study ferromagnetic Ising models on finite graphs with an inhomogeneous external field, where a subset of vertices is designated as the boundary. We show that the influence of boundary conditions on any given spin is maximised when the…
We generalize the switching lemma of Griffiths, Hurst and Sherman to the random current representation of the Ashkin-Teller model. We then use it together with properties of two-dimensional topology to derive linear relations for…
