We study mean-field classical $N$-vector models, for integers $N\ge 2$. We use the theory of large deviations and Stein's method to study the total spin and its typical behavior, specifically obtaining non-normal limit theorems at the…
We consider the mean-field classical Heisenberg model and obtain detailed information about the total spin of the system by studying the model on a complete graph and sending the number of vertices to infinity. In particular, we obtain…
We characterize the phase space for the infinite volume limit of a ferromagnetic mean-field XY model in a random field pointing in one direction with two symmetric values. We determine the stationary solutions and detect possible phase…
The study of the normalized sum of random variables and its asymptotic behaviour has been and continues to be a central chapter in probability and statistical mechanics. When those variables are independent the central limit theorem ensures…
We derive mean-field equations for a general class of ferromagnetic spin systems with an explicit error bound in finite volumes. The proof is based on a link between the mean-field equation and the free convolution formalism of random…
We study the dynamics of a spin-flip model with a mean field interaction. The system is non reversible, spacially inhomogeneous, and it is designed to model social interactions. We obtain the limiting behavior of the empirical averages in…
We review and refine the concept of a mean-field theory for the study of sandpile models, which are of central importance in the study of self-organized criticality. By considering the simple one-dimensional random walker with an absorbing…

Using Stein's method, we prove an abstract result that yields multivariate central limit theorems with a rate of convergence for time-dependent dynamical systems. As examples we study a model of expanding circle maps and a quasistatic…
We derive rates of convergence for limit theorems that reveal the intricate structure of the phase transitions in a mean-field version of the Blume-Emery-Griffith model. The theorems consist of scaling limits for the total spin. The model…
We study the equilibrium properties of the spin-$1/2$ XY chain with an infinite-range transverse interaction. At zero temperature, competition between the XY- and the $z$-ordered phases induced by the infinite-range interactions gives rise…
This paper studies the rate of convergence of a family of continuous-time Markov chains (CTMC) to a mean-field model. When the mean-field model is a finite-dimensional dynamical system with a unique equilibrium point, an analysis based on…
We study the critical behavior of a general contagion model where nodes are either active (e.g. with opinion A, or functioning) or inactive (e.g. with opinion B, or damaged). The transitions between these two states are determined by (i)…
We establish central limit theorems for a large class of supercritical branching Markov processes in infinite dimension with spatially dependent and non-necessarily local branching mechanisms. This result relies on a fourth moment…
Vector spin glasses are known to show two different kinds of phase transitions in presence of an external field: the so-called de Almeida-Thouless and Gabay-Toulouse lines. While the former has been studied to some extent on several…
We generalize the strategy, we recently introduced to prove the existence of the thermodynamic limit for the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick and p-spin models, to a wider class of mean field spin glass systems, including models with multi-component…
We study a mean-field spin model with three- and two-body interactions. The equilibrium measure for large volumes is shown to have three pure states, the phases of the model. They include the two with opposite magnetization and an…

We study zero-temperature hysteresis in random-field XY and Heisenberg models in the zero-frequency limit of a cyclic driving field. We consider three distributions of the random field and present exact solutions in the mean field limit.…
We consider two limiting regimes, the large-spin and the mean-field limit, for the dynamical evolution of quantum spin systems. We prove that, in these limits, the time evolution of a class of quantum spin systems is determined by a…
