We report a motility-induced pinning transition in the active Ising model for a self-propelled particle system with discrete symmetry. This model was known to exhibit a liquid-gas type flocking phase transition, but a recent study reveals…
The short-time dynamic evolution of an Ising model embedded in an infinitely ramified fractal structure with noninteger Hausdorff dimension was studied using Monte Carlo simulations. Completely ordered and disordered spin configurations…
We examine the geometrical and topological properties of surfaces surrounding clusters in the 3--$d$ Ising model. For geometrical clusters at the percolation temperature and Fortuin--Kasteleyn clusters at $T_c$, the number of surfaces of…
We consider a recently introduced generalization of the Ising model in which individual spin strength can vary. The model is intended for analysis of ordering in systems comprising agents which, although matching in their binarity (i.e.,…
One-dimensional systems---ranging from travelling light to circuit cables and from DNA to superstrings---are ubiquitous and critically important to the human knowledge of the universe. However, our engagement with one-dimensional systems in…
In 2002 Biskup et al. [Europhys. Lett. 60, 21 (2002)] sketched a rigorous proof for the behavior of the 2D Ising lattice gas, at a finite volume and a fixed excess \delta M of particles (spins) above the ambient gas density (spontaneous…
The lecture delivered at the \emph{Current Developments in Mathematics} conference (Harvard-MIT, 2021) focused on the recent proof of the Gaussian structure of the scaling limits of the critical Ising and $\varphi^4$ fields in the marginal…
Depinning of an interface from a random self--affine substrate with roughness exponent $\zeta_S$ is studied in systems with short--range interactions. In 2$D$ transfer matrix results show that for $\zeta_S<1/2$ depinning falls in the…
We study the spectrum of bound states of the three dimensional Ising model in the (h,beta) plane near the critical point. We show the existence of an unbinding line, defined as the boundary of the region where bound states exist. Numerical…
We analyze changes in the thermodynamic properties of a spin system when it passes from the classical two-dimensional Ising model to the spin glass model, where spin-spin interactions are random in their values and signs. Formally, the…
We consider d=2 Ising strip with surface fields acting on boundary spins. Using the properties of the transfer matrix spectrum we identify two pseudotransition temperatures and show that they satisfy similar scaling relations as expected…
A length-N spin chain with the \sqrt{N}(=v)-th neighbor interaction is identical to a two-dimensional (d=2) model under the screw-boundary (SB) condition. The SB condition provides a flexible scheme to construct a d\ge2 cluster from an…
We consider two critical semi-infinite subsystems with different critical exponents and couple them through their surfaces. The critical behavior at the interface, influenced by the critical fluctuations of the two subsystems, can be quite…
We study center vortex free energies and 't Hooft's electric fluxes on the lattice in 2+1 dimensions, where SU(2) for example, is in the universality class of the 2d Ising model. This places a wealth of exact results at our fingertips. In…
Networks that have power-law connectivity, commonly referred to as the scale-free networks, are an important class of complex networks. A heterogeneous mean-field approximation has been previously proposed for the Ising model of the…
Recently, we argued [Chin. Phys. Lett. $39$, 080502 (2022)] that the Ising model simultaneously exhibits two upper critical dimensions $(d_c=4, d_p=6)$ in the Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) random-cluster representation. In this paper, we perform a…
In this article we show the convergence of a loop ensemble of interfaces in the FK Ising model at criticality, as the lattice mesh tends to zero, to a unique conformally invariant scaling limit. The discrete loop ensemble is described by a…
The steady state structure of an interface in an Ising system on a square lattice placed in a {\em non-uniform} external field, shows a commensurate -incommensurate transition driven by the velocity of the interface. The non-uniform field…
The Ising model in two dimensions with special toroidal boundary conditions is analyzed. These boundary condition, which we call duality twisted boundary conditions, may be interpreted as inserting a specific defect line ("seam") in the…
We study a spin system on a large box with both Ising interaction and Sherrington-Kirpatrick couplings, in the presence of an external field. Our results are: (i) existence of the pressure in the limit of an infinite box. When both Ising…
