Spin chains with quenched disorder exhibit rich critical behavior, often captured by real-space renormalization group (RSRG) techniques. However, the physics of such systems in the presence of random measurements (i.e., non-Hermitian…

At a continuous transition into a nonunique absorbing state, particle systems may exhibit nonuniversal critical behavior, in apparent violation of hyperscaling. We propose a generalized scaling theory for dynamic critical behavior at a…

We consider the influence of a power-law deviation from the critical coupling such that the system is critical at its surface. We develop a scaling theory showing that such a perturbation introduces a new length scale which governs the…
The cluster algorithm in the fully frustrated Ising model on the square lattice is essentially different from the ones used in other systems. Thus its better understanding is particularly important for finding new lines of development.…
We study a model for a quantum Ising spin glass in two space dimensions by Monte Carlo simulations. In the disordered phase at $T=0$, we find power law distributions of the local susceptibility and local non-linear susceptibility, which are…
Two conditions are derived for Ising models to show non-universal critical behaviour, namely conditions concerning 1) logarithmic singularity of the specific heat and 2) degeneracy of the ground state. These conditions are satisfied with…
The Griffiths inequalities for Ising spin-glass models with Gaussian randomness of non-vanishing mean are proved using properties of the Gaussian distribution and gauge symmetry of the system. These inequalities imply that correlation…
