The physical analysis of generic phase coexistence in the North-East-Center Toom model was originally given by Bennett and Grinstein. The gist of their argument relies on the dynamics of interfaces and droplets. We revisit the same question…
This paper deals with the stochastic Ising model with a temperature shrinking to zero as time goes to infinity. A generalization of the Glauber dynamics is considered, on the basis of the existence of simultaneous flips of some spins. Such…
We study for random quantum spin systems the energy gap between the ground and first excited states to clarify a relation to the spin-glass-paramagnetic phase transition. We find that for the transverse Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model the…
We solve the Thouless-Anderson-Palmer (TAP) variational principle associated to the spherical pure $p$-spin mean field spin glass Hamiltonian and present a detailed phase diagram. In the high temperature phase the maximum of variational…
In this paper we define a variant of the Ising model in which spins are replaced with permutations. The energy between two spins is a function of the relative disorder of one spin, a permutation, to the other. This model is motivated by a…
We present a method for predicting the low-temperature behavior of spherical and Ising spin models with isotropic potentials. For the spherical model the characteristic length scales of the ground states are exactly determined but the…
By quenching into the metastable region of the three-dimensional Ising model, we investigate the paths that the magnetization (energy) takes as a function of time. We accumulate the magnetization (energy) paths into time-dependent…
