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…
In this paper we study the properties of the centered (norm of the) gradient squared of the discrete Gaussian free field in $U_{\epsilon}=U/\epsilon\cap \mathbb{Z}^d$, $U\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and $d\geq 2$. The covariance structure of the…
For massless vertex-transitive transient graphs, the percolation phase transition for the level sets of the Gaussian free field on the associated continuous cable system is particularly well understood, and in particular the associated…
We review connections between phase transitions in high-dimensional combinatorial geometry and phase transitions occurring in modern high-dimensional data analysis and signal processing. In data analysis, such transitions arise as abrupt…
The nature of the superfluid-to-Bose-glass (SF-BG) quantum phase transition, occurring in systems of interacting bosons immersed in a disordered environment, remains elusive. One fundamental open question is whether or not the transition…
We discuss the nature of phase transitions in self-gravitating systems both in the microcanonical and in the canonical ensemble. We avoid the divergence of the gravitational potential at short distances by considering the case of…
We study phase transitions driven by fermionic double-trace deformations in gauge-gravity duality. Both the strength of the double trace deformation and the infrared conformal dimension/self-energy scaling of the quasiparticle can be used…

We study a classical system of identically charged counter-ions near a planar wall carrying a uniform surface charge density. The equilibrium statistical mechanics of the system depends on a single dimensionless coupling parameter. A new…
We prove absence of ground states in the infrared-divergent spin boson model at large coupling. Our key argument reduces the proof to verifying long range order in the dual one-dimensional continuum Ising model, i.e., to showing that the…
Recent study demonstrated that steady states of a polariton system may show a first-order dissipative phase transition with an exceptional point that appears as an endpoint of the phase boundary [R. Hanai et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 122,…
It is known that arrays of trapped ions can be used to efficiently simulate a variety of many-body quantum systems. Here, we show how it is possible to build a model representing a spin chain interacting with bosons which is exactly…
We study the level crossing of the fermion system described by the euclidean Dirac Hamiltonian in the valley background. One chiral fermion level is shown to cross twice the zero value in the case of well-separated instanton-anti-instanton…
Consider a sequence (indexed by n) of Markov chains Z^n in R^d characterized by transition kernels that approximately (in n) depend only on the rescaled state n^{-1} Z^n. Subject to a smoothness condition, such a family can be closely…
Using elementary methods we obtain a power-law lower bound on the two-point function of the planar XY spin model at low temperatures. This was famously first rigorously obtained by Fr\"{o}hlich and Spencer and establishes a…

Full wavefront control by photonic components requires that the spatial phase modulation on an incoming optical beam ranges from 0 to 2{\pi}. Because of their radiative coupling to the environment, all optical components are intrinsically…
