We study the Potts model on a rectangular lattice with aperiodic modulations in its interactions along one direction. Numerical results are obtained using the Wolff algorithm and for many lattice sizes, allowing for a finite-size scaling…

Hopf bifurcations are a universal route to self-sustained oscillations in driven systems. Despite the absence of any singular stationary state, we show that time-averaged observables generically exhibit singularities at the onset of…

In this note we consider long range $q$-states Potts models on $\mathbf{Z}^d$, $d\geq 2$. For various families of non-summable ferromagnetic pair potentials $\phi(x)\geq 0$, we show that there exists, for all inverse temperature $\beta>0$,…
