The continuous random energy model (CREM) is a toy model of disordered systems introduced by Bovier and Kurkova in 2004 based on previous work by Derrida and Spohn in the 80s. In a recent paper by Addario-Berry and Maillard, they raised the…

We consider disordered lattice spin models with finite volume Gibbs measures $\mu_{\L}[\eta](d\s)$. Here $\s$ denotes a lattice spin-variable and $\eta$ a lattice random variable with product distribution $\P$ describing the disorder of the…

We consider fertile three-state Hard-Core (HC) models with the activity parameter $\lambda>0$ on a Cayley tree. It is known that there exist four types of such models: wrench, wand, hinge, and pipe. These models arise as simple examples of…

We consider the Gibbs-measures of continuous-valued height configurations on the $d$-dimensional integer lattice in the presence a weakly disordered potential. The potential is composed of Gaussians having random location and random depth;…

We discuss the relationship between discrete-time processes (chains) and one-dimensional Gibbs measures. We consider finite-alphabet (finite-spin) systems, possibly with a grammar (exclusion rule). We establish conditions for a stochastic…

The even discrete torus is the graph T_{L,d} on vertex set {0,...,L-1}^d (L even) with two vertices adjacent if they differ by 1 (mod L) on one coordinate. The hard-core measure with activity x on T_{L,d} is the distribution pi_x on the…

Recently, there has been significant interest in understanding the properties of Markov random fields (M.r.f.) defined on the independent sets of sparse graphs. When these M.r.f. are restricted to pairwise interactions (i.e. hardcore…

We establish tight results for rapid mixing of Gibbs samplers for the Ferromagnetic Ising model on general graphs. We show that if \[(d-1)\tanh\beta<1,\] then there exists a constant C such that the discrete time mixing time of Gibbs…

We give an equivalent condition for the existence of invariant Gibbs measures for sequences of continuous functions on one-sided subshifts and, more generally, for the existence of Gibbs measures. These extend the results of Kim [6] and…

Some interesting nonperturbative properties of the strongly coupled 4D compact U(1) lattice gauge theories, both without and with matter fields, are pointed out. We demonstrate that the pure gauge theory has a non-Gaussian fixed point with…

The Griddy Gibbs sampling was proposed by Ritter and Tanner (1992) as a computationally efficient approximation of the well-known Gibbs sampling method. The algorithm is simple and effective and has been used successfully to address…

We define a class of continuous graded graphs similar to the graph of Gelfand--Tsetlin patterns, and describe the set of all ergodic central measures of discrete type on the path spaces of such graphs. The main observation is that an…

We analyze the statics for pure $p$-spin spherical spin glass models with $p\geq3$, at low enough temperature. With $F_{N,\beta}$ denoting the free energy, we compute the second order (logarithmic) term of $NF_{N,\beta}$ and prove that, for…
