The Ising model is widely regarded as the most studied model of spin-systems in statistical physics. The focus of this paper is its dynamic (stochastic) version, the Glauber dynamics, introduced in 1963 and by now the most popular means of…
We study the noisy voter model with $q\geq 2$ states and noise probability $\theta$ on arbitrary bounded-degree $n$-vertex graphs $G$ with subexponential growth of balls (e.g., finite subsets of $\mathbb{Z}^d$). Cox, Peres and Steif (2016)…
We analyse the metastable behaviour of the dilute Curie-Weiss model subject to a Glauber dynamics. The model is a random version of a mean-field Ising model, where the coupling coefficients are Bernoulli random variables with mean $p\in…
We study metastability and mixing time for a non-reversible probabilistic cellular automaton. With a suitable choice of the parameters, we first show that the stationary distribution is close in total variation to a low temperature Ising…
We consider a Glauber dynamics associated with the Ising model on a large two-dimensional box with with minus boundary conditions and in the limit of a vanishing positive external magnetic field. The volume of this box increases…
Consider the event that there is a $+$ crossing from left to right in a box for the Ising model on the triangular lattice. We show that this event is noise sensitive under Glauber dynamics $t \mapsto \sigma_t$ in the subcritical regime…
Recently, Eldan, Koehler, and Zeitouni (2020) showed that Glauber dynamics mixes rapidly for general Ising models so long as the difference between the largest and smallest eigenvalues of the coupling matrix is at most $1 - \epsilon$ for…
Consider the complete graph on $n$ vertices. To each vertex assign an Ising spin that can take the values $-1$ or $+1$. Each spin $i \in [n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$ interacts with a magnetic field $h \in [0,\infty)$, while each pair of spins $i,j…
Consider a low temperature stochastic Ising model in the phase coexistence regime with Markov semigroup $P_t$. A fundamental and still largely open problem is the understanding of the long time behavior of $\d_\h P_t$ when the initial…
A fast harmonic oscillator is linearly coupled with a system of Ising spins that are in contact with a thermal bath, and evolve under a slow Glauber dynamics at dimensionless temperature $\theta$. The spins have a coupling constant…
In this paper we study metastability in large volumes at low temperatures. We consider both Ising spins subject to Glauber spin-flip dynamics and lattice gas particles subject to Kawasaki hopping dynamics. Let $\b$ denote the inverse…
We study zero-temperature Glauber dynamics for Ising-like spin variable models in quenched random networks with random zero-magnetization initial conditions. In particular, we focus on the absorbing states of finite systems. While it has…
We consider three extensions of the standard 2D Ising model with Glauber dynamics on a finite torus at low temperature. The first model is an anisotropic version, where the interaction energy takes different values on vertical and on…
We study Glauber dynamics for the Ising model on the complete graph on $n$ vertices, known as the Curie-Weiss Model. It is well known that at high temperature ($\beta < 1$) the mixing time is $\Theta(n\log n)$, whereas at low temperature…
A two-temperature Ising-Schelling model is introduced and studied for describing human segregation. The self-organized Ising model with Glauber kinetics simulated by M\"uller et al. exhibits a phase transition between segregated and mixed…
We give a survey of the known results on mixing time of Glauber dynamics for the Ising model on the square lattice and present a technique that makes exact sampling of the Ising model at all temperatures possible in polynomial time. At high…
The maximum independent set (MIS) problem is a well-studied combinatorial optimization problem that naturally arises in many applications, such as wireless communication, information theory and statistical mechanics. MIS problem is NP-hard,…
Masked language models (MLMs) define local conditional distributions over tokens but do not, in general, correspond to any consistent joint distribution over sequences. This raises a fundamental question: what global distributional behavior…
Using both analytical and simulational methods, we study low-temperature nucleation rates in kinetic Ising lattice-gas models that evolve under two different Arrhenius dynamics that interpose between the Ising states a transition state…
Glauber dynamics is a powerful tool to generate randomized, approximate solutions to combinatorially difficult problems. Applications include Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation and distributed scheduling for wireless networks. In…
