Various types of walks on complex networks have been used in recent years to model search and navigation in several kinds of systems, with particular emphasis on random walks. This gives valuable information on network properties, but…
Puzzled by the indication of a new critical theory for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model with a spatially staggered anisotropy on the square lattice as suggested in \cite{Wenzel08}, we study a similar anisotropic spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on…
The myopic (or `true') self-avoiding walk model (MSAW) was introduced in the physics literature by Amit, Parisi and Peliti (1983). It is a random motion in Z^d pushed towards domains less visited in the past by a kind of negative gradient…
We study the structural properties of self-attracting walks in d dimensions using scaling arguments and Monte Carlo simulations. We find evidence for a transition analogous to the \Theta transition of polymers. Above a critical attractive…
A discrete-time Quantum Walk (QW) is an operator driving the evolution of a single particle on the lattice, through local unitaries. Some QW admit, as their continuum limit, a well-known equation of Physics. In arXiv:1803.01015 the QW is…
We study the variable-length ensemble of self-avoiding walks on the complete graph. We obtain the leading order asymptotics of the mean and variance of the walk length, as the number of vertices goes to infinity. Central limit theorems for…
Inspired by the recent creation of the honeycomb optical lattice and the realization of the Mott insulating state in a square lattice by shaking, we study here the shaken honeycomb optical lattice. For a periodic shaking of the lattice, a…
Two-dimensional artificial magnetic honeycomb lattice is at the forefront of research on unconventional magnetic materials. Among the many emergent magnetic phases that are predicted to arise as a function of temperature, the low…
We study a classical Ising model on the honeycomb lattice with local two-body interactions and present strong evidence that at low temperature it realizes a higher-rank Coulomb liquid with fracton excitations. We show that the excitations…
We study a lattice model of a magnetic polymer where the XY spin variables are located on a self-avoiding walk (SAW) on a regular lattice in two and three dimensions. We consider the regime where both spins and conformations are dynamic,…
Prudent walks are self-avoiding walks which cannot step towards an already occupied vertex. We introduce a new model of adsorbing prudent walks on the square lattice, which start on an impenetrable surface and accrue a fugacity $a$ with…
A recently developed model of random walks on a $D$-dimensional hyperspherical lattice, where $D$ is {\sl not} restricted to integer values, is extended to include the possibility of creating and annihilating random walkers. Steady-state…
In this paper we give a complete characterization of the scaling limit of the critical Interacting Partially Directed Self-Avoiding Walk (IPDSAW) introduced in Zwanzig and Lauritzen (1968). As the system size $L$ diverges, we prove that the…
In the past decade, a lot of attention has been devoted to the enumera-tion of walks with prescribed steps confined to a convex cone. In two dimensions, this means counting walks in the first quadrant of the plane (possibly after a linear…
We consider random walks (RWs) and self-avoiding walks (SAWs) on disordered lattices directly at the percolation threshold. Applying numerical simulations, we study the scaling behavior of the models on the incipient percolation cluster in…
The lack of both nesting and a van Hove singularity at half filling, together with the presence of Dirac cones makes the honeycomb lattice a special laboratory to explore strongly correlated phenomena. For instance, at zero temperature the…
Various interacting lattice path models of polymer collapse in two dimensions demonstrate different critical behaviours. This difference has been without a clear explanation. The collapse transition has been variously seen to be in the…
We review the existence of the infinite length self-avoiding walk in the half plane and its relationship to bridges. We prove that this probability measure is also given by the limit as $\beta \rightarrow \beta_c-$ of the probability…
We define a new ensemble for self-avoiding walks in the upper half-plane, the fixed irredicible bridge ensemble, by considering self-avoiding walks in the upper half-plane up to their $n$-th bridge height, $Y_n$, and scaling the walk by…
Interacting Growth Walks is a recently proposed stochastic model for studying the coil-globule transition of linear polymers. We propose a flat energy histogram version for Interacting Growth Walk. We demonstrate the algorithm on two…
