Inspired by Fr\"{o}hlich-Spencer and subsequent authors who introduced the notion of contour for long-range systems, we provide a definition of contour and a direct proof for the phase transition for ferromagnetic long-range Ising models on…

Following Fr\"ohlich and Spencer, we study one dimensional Ising spin systems with ferromagnetic, long range interactions which decay as $|x-y|^{-2+\alpha}$, $0\leq \alpha\leq 1/2$. We introduce a geometric description of the spin…
We extend a recent argument by Ding and Zhuang from nearest-neighbor to long-range interactions and prove the phase transition in a class of ferromagnetic random field Ising models. Our proof combines a generalization of Fr\"ohlich-Spencer…
We consider the long-range random field Ising model in dimension $d = 1, 2$, whereas the long-range interaction is of the form $J_{xy} = |x-y|^{-\alpha}$ with $1< \alpha < 3/2$ for $d=1$ and with $2 < \alpha \leq 3$ for $d = 2$. Our main…
In this thesis, we present results on phase transition for two models: the semi-infinite Ising model with a decaying field, and the long-range Ising model with a random field. We study the semi-infinite Ising model with an external field…
We consider an Ising model where longitudinal components of every pair of spins have antiferromagnetic interaction of the same magnitude. When subjected to a transverse magnetic field at zero temperature, the system undergoes a phase…
We extend previous results due to Ding and Zhuang in order to prove that a phase transition occurs for the long range Ising model in lower dimensions. By making use of a recent argument due to Affonso, Bissacot and Maia from 2022 which…
We consider the Ising model on the two-dimensional square lattice where on each horizontal line, called "layer", the interaction is given by a ferromagnetic Kac potential with coupling strength $J_\gamma(x,y)=\gamma J(\gamma(x-y))$, where…
Using the group structure of the state space of $q-$state models, a new definition of contour for long-range spin-systems in $\Z^d$ ($d\geq 2$), and a multidimensional version of Fr\"{o}hlich-Spencer contours, we prove phase transition for…
We study the collective behavior of an Ising system on a small-world network with the interaction $J(r) \propto r^{-\alpha}$, where $r$ represents the Euclidean distance between two nodes. In the case of $\alpha = 0$ corresponding to the…
In this thesis, we present results from the investigation of two problems, one related to the phase transition of long-range Ising models and the other one associated with the characterization of equilibrium states in quantum spin systems.…
