Let $L:[0,1]\setminus\{d\}\rightarrow [0,1]$ be a one-dimensional Lorenz like expanding map ($d$ is the point of discontinuity), $\mathcal{P}=\{ (0,d),(d,1) \}$ be a partition of $[0,1]$ and $C^{\alpha}([0,1],\mathcal{P})$ the set of…

We construct a family of Hamiltonians whose phase diagram is guaranteed to have a single phase transition, yet the location of this phase transition is uncomputable. The Hamiltonians $H(\phi)$ describe qudits on a two-dimensional square…

In this paper we study the thermodynamic formalism of strongly transitive endomorphisms $f$, focusing on the set all expanding measures. In case $f$ is a non-flat $C^{1+}$ map defined on a Riemannian manifold, these are invariant…

The purpose of this paper is to find conditions for a continuous onto map $\phi\colon X\rightarrow Y$ and its induced map $\phi_*\colon\mathcal{M}^1(X)\rightarrow\mathcal{M}^1(Y)$ to be semi-open, where $X$, $Y$ are compact Hausdorff spaces…

For a rational map $f$ and a H\"older continuous potential $\phi$ satisfying $$ \sup\phi< P(f,\phi)$$ the uniqueness and stochastic properties of the corresponding equilibrium states have been extensively studied. For a given rational map…

The topological theory of phase transitions was proposed on the basis of different arguments, the most important of which are: a direct evidence of the relation between topology and phase transitions for some exactly solvable models; an…

This paper deals with $(K_1, K_2)$-quasiregular mappings. It is shown, by Morrey's Lemma and isoperimetric inequality, that every $(K_1, K_2)$-quasiregular mapping satisfies a H\"older condition with exponent $\alpha$ on compact subsets of…

In this first paper, we demonstrate a theorem that establishes a first step toward proving a necessary topological condition for the occurrence of first or second order phase transitions: we prove that the topology of certain submanifolds…

Let $\phi:X\to \mathbb R$ be a continuous potential associated with a symbolic dynamical system $T:X\to X$ over a finite alphabet. Introducing a parameter $\beta>0$ (interpreted as the inverse temperature) we study the regularity of the…

Let $X = \mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{Z}^d}$, where $d \geq 1$ and $\mathcal{A}$ is a finite set, equipped with the action of the shift map. For a given continuous potential $\phi: \mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{Z}^d} \to \mathbb{R}$ and $\beta>0$ (``inverse…

We prove that for harmonic quasiconformal mappings $\alpha$-H\"older continuity on the boundary implies $\alpha$-H\"older continuity of the map itself. Our result holds for the class of uniformly perfect bounded domains, in fact we can…

The $\phi^4$ model has been the "workhorse" of the classical Ginzburg--Landau phenomenological theory of phase transitions and, furthermore, the foundation for a large amount of the now-classical developments in nonlinear science. However,…

A direct application of Zorn's Lemma gives that every Lipschitz map $f:X\subset \mathbb{Q}_p^n\to \mathbb{Q}_p^\ell$ has an extension to a Lipschitz map $\widetilde f: \mathbb{Q}_p^n\to \mathbb{Q}_p^\ell$. This is analogous, but more easy,…

We prove H\"older continuity up to the boundary for solutions of quasi-linear degenerate elliptic problems in divergence form, not necessarily of variational type, on Lipschitz domains with Neumann and Robin boundary conditions. This…

We prove that every sense-preserving harmonic $K$--quasiconformal homeomorphism $f\colon D\to\Omega$ between Lyapunov domains (equivalently, bounded $C^{1,\alpha}$ domains) in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $\alpha\in(0,1]$, is globally Lipschitz on…

Quasiconformal maps in the complex plane are homeomorphisms that satisfy certain geometric distortion inequalities; infinitesimally, they map circles to ellipses with bounded eccentricity. The local distortion properties of these maps give…

The Sinai billiard flow on the two-torus, i.e., the periodic Lorentz gas, is a continuous flow, but it is not everywhere differentiable. Assuming finite horizon, we relate the equilibrium states of the flow with those of the Sinai billiard…

Following seminal work by J. Fr\"ohlich and T. Spencer on the critical exponent $\alpha=2$, we give a proof via contours of phase transition in the one-dimensional long-range ferromagnetic Ising model in the entire region of decay, where…

We critically analyze the possibility of finding signatures of a phase transition by looking exclusively at static quantities of statistical systems, like e.g., the topology of potential energy sub-manifolds (PES). This topological…

The stationary points of the potential energy function V are studied for the \phi^4 model on a two-dimensional square lattice with nearest-neighbor interactions. On the basis of analytical and numerical results, we explore the relation of…
