Universal dimensionless quantities, such as Binder ratios and wrapping probabilities, play an important role in the study of critical phenomena. We study the finite-size scaling behavior of the wrapping probability for the Potts model in…
We prove that the $q$-state Potts model and the random-cluster model with cluster weight $q>4$ undergo a discontinuous phase transition on the square lattice. More precisely, we show - Existence of multiple infinite-volume measures for the…
We prove that the free energy of directed polymer in Bernoulli environment converges to the growth rate for the number of open paths in super-critical oriented percolation as the temperature tends to zero. Our proof is based on rate of…
We study dynamical aspects of the $q$-state Potts model on an $n\times n$ box at its critical $\beta_c(q)$. Heat-bath Glauber dynamics and cluster dynamics such as Swendsen--Wang (that circumvent low-temperature bottlenecks) are all…
In this paper, we prove that the large scale properties of a number of two-dimensional lattice models are rotationally invariant. More precisely, we prove that the random-cluster model on the square lattice with cluster-weight $1\le q\le 4$…
The hierarchical reference theory (HRT) is generalized to spins of dimensionality $D$. Then its properties are investigated by both analytical and numerical evaluations for supercritical temperatures. The HRT is closely related to the…
Using 2-loop renormalisation group calculations, we study a system of $N$ two-dimensional Potts models with random bonds coupled together by their local energy density. This model can be seen as a generalization of the random Ashkin-Teller…
We propose a new effective cluster algorithm of tuning the critical point automatically, which is an extended version of Swendsen-Wang algorithm. We change the probability of connecting spins of the same type, $p = 1 - e^{- J/ k_BT}$, in…
We consider independent and $m$-dependent two-dimensional oriented site percolation with open-site density close to one started from Bernoulli product measures. We show that the probability of an occupied interval in the former process…
We derive three critical exponents for Bernoulli site percolation on the on the Uniform Infinite Planar Triangulation (UIPT). First we compute explicitly the probability that the root cluster is infinite. As a consequence, we show that the…
We derive conditions under which random sequences of polarizations (two-point symmetrizations) converge almost surely to the symmetric decreasing rearrangement. The parameters for the polarizations are independent random variables whose…
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…
We apply a simple analytical criterion for locating critical temperatures to Potts models on square and triangular lattices. In the self-dual case, i.e. on the square lattice we reproduce known exact values of the critical temperature and…
