The behavior of many critical phenomena at large distances is expected to be invariant under the full conformal group, rather than only isometries and scale transformations. When studying critical phenomena, approximations are often…
The upper critical dimension of the Ising model is known to be $d_c=4$, above which critical behavior is regarded as trivial. We hereby argue from extensive simulations that, in the random-cluster representation, the Ising model…
The main technical and conceptual features of the lattice $1/N$ expansion in the scaling region are discussed in the context of a two-parameter two-dimensional spin model interpolating between $CP^{N-1}$ and $O(2N)$ $\sigma$ models, with…
We provide a uniformly-positive point-wise lower bound for the two-point function of the classical spin $O(N)$ model on the torus of $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d \geq 3$, when $N \in \mathbb{N}_{>0}$ and the inverse temperature $\beta$ is large…
We investigate the one-dimensional pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD) by extensive Monte Carlo simulations, mainly focusing on the critical density decay exponent $\delta$. To obtain an accurate estimate of $\delta$, we first find…
We consider percolation on the discrete torus $\mathbb{Z}_n^d$ at $p_c(\mathbb{Z}^d)$, the critical value for percolation on the corresponding infinite lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$, and within the scaling window around it. We assume that $d$ is a…
In this note, we study the low temperature $(2+1)$D SOS interface above a hard floor with critical pinning potential $\lambda_w= \log (\frac{1}{1-e^{-4\beta}})$. At $\lambda<\lambda_w$ entropic repulsion causes the surface to delocalize and…
Statistical mechanical systems at and near their points of phase transition are expected to exhibit rich, fractal-like behaviour that is independent of the small-scale details of the system but depends strongly on the dimension in which the…
We study the nearest-neighbour Ising and $\varphi^4$ models on $\mathbb Z^d$ with $d\geq 3$ and obtain new lower bounds on their two-point functions at (and near) criticality. Together with the classical infrared bound, these bounds turn…
We study the critical behaviour of spherically symmetric scalar field collapse to black holes in spacetime dimensions other than four. We obtain reliable values for the scaling exponent in the supercritical region for dimensions in the…
We consider a random field $\varphi:\{1,...,N\}\to \mathbb{R}$ with Laplacian interaction of the form $\sum_iV(\Delta\varphi_i)$, where $\Delta$ is the discrete Laplacian and the potential $V(\cdot)$ is symmetric and uniformly strictly…
At low $x$ a transition from a dilute parton gas to a dense parton liquid takes place. We derive geometrical scaling for the structure function in deep inelastic scattering at low $x$ from a diverging correlation length $\xi(x)$ of Wilson…
We consider the critical spread-out contact process in Z^d with d\ge1, whose infection range is denoted by L\ge1. In this paper, we investigate the r-point function \tau_{\vec t}^{(r)}(\vec x) for r\ge3, which is the probability that, for…
The existing estimation of the upper critical dimension of the Abelian Sandpile Model is based on a qualitative consideration of avalanches as self-avoiding branching processes. We find an exact representation of an avalanche as a sequence…
The phenomenon of upper critical dimensionality d_c2 has been studied from the viewpoint of the scaling concepts. The Thouless number g(L) is not the only essential variable in scale transformations, because there is the second parameter…
We investigate the critical behavior of a spin chain coupled to bosonic baths characterized by a spectral density proportional to $\omega^s$, with $s>1$. Varying $s$ changes the effective dimension $d_\text{eff} = d + z$ of the system,…
The finite-size critical properties of the ${\cal O}(n)$ vector $\phi^4$ model, with long-range interaction decaying algebraically with the interparticle distance $r$ like $r^{-d-\sigma}$, are investigated. The system is confined to a…
We study the behavior of the antiferromagnetic RP$^2$ model in $d=3$. The vacuum structure is analyzed in the critical and low temperature regions, paying special attention to the spontaneous symmetry breaking pattern. Near the critical…
In a conformal field theory with weakly broken higher spin symmetry, the leading order anomalous dimensions of the broken currents can be efficiently determined from the structure of the classical non-conservation equations. We apply this…
A recent paper [V. L. Campo et. al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 240403 (2007) has proposed a two-parameter scaling method to determine the phase diagram of the fermionic Hubbard model from optical lattice experiments. Motivated by this proposal,…
