We develop a new framework to prove the mixing or relaxation time for the Glauber dynamics on spin systems with unbounded degree. It works for general spin systems including both $2$-spin and multi-spin systems. As applications for this…
The Swendsen-Wang dynamics is a popular algorithm for sampling from the Gibbs distribution for the ferromagnetic Ising model on a graph $G=(V,E)$. The dynamics is a "global" Markov chain which is conjectured to converge to equilibrium in…
How a system initially at infinite temperature responds when suddenly placed at finite temperatures is a way to check the existence of phase transitions. It has been shown in [R. da Silva, IJMPC 2023] that phase transitions are imprinted in…
We consider polynomial long-range Ising models in one dimension, with ferromagnetic pair interactions decaying with power $2-\alpha$ (for $0 \leq \alpha < 1$), and prepared with randomly chosen boundary conditions. We show that at low…
We study the stochastic relaxation dynamics of the Ising p-spin model on a random graph, a well-known model with glassy dynamics at low temperatures. We introduce and discuss a new closure scheme for the master equation governing the…
We study the effect of antiferromagnetic interactions on the single spin-flip Glauber dynamics of two different one-dimensional (1D) Ising models with spin $\pm 1$. The first model is an Ising chain with antiferromagnetic exchange…
We study the zero-temperature Glauber dynamics of homogeneous Ising ferromagnets on hypercubes, as their dimension d varies. We investigate the asymptotic (d goes to infinity and time t goes to infinity) behavior of various quantities on…
We study transition matrices for projected dynamics in the energy-magnetization space, magnetization space and energy space. Several single spin flip dynamics are considered such as the Glauber and Metropolis canonical ensemble dynamics and…
In this work we prove sufficient conditions for the Glauber dynamics corresponding to a sequence of (non-product) measures on finite product spaces to be rapidly mixing, i.e. that the mixing time with respect to the total variation distance…
We consider Ising-spin systems starting from an initial Gibbs measure $\nu$ and evolving under a spin-flip dynamics towards a reversible Gibbs measure $\mu\not=\nu$. Both $\nu$ and $\mu$ are assumed to have a finite-range interaction. We…
We study continuous time Glauber dynamics for random configurations with local constraints (e.g. proper coloring, Ising and Potts models) on finite graphs with $n$ vertices and of bounded degree. We show that the relaxation time (defined as…
All isometrically invariant Markov (strictly local) fields on binary assignments are induced by energy functions that can be represented as linear combinations of area, perimeter, and Euler characteristic. This class of model includes the…
We study numerically the ordering process of two very simple dynamical models for a two-state variable on several topologies with increasing levels of heterogeneity in the degree distribution. We find that the zero-temperature Glauber…
A ferromagnetic Ising chain which is endowed with a single-spin-flip Glauber dynamics is investigated. For an arbitrary annealing protocol, we derive an exact integral equation for the domain wall density. This integral equation admits an…
A popular method for sampling from high-dimensional distributions is the \emph{Gibbs sampler}, which iteratively resamples sites from the conditional distribution of the desired measure given the values of the other coordinates. It is…
For general spin systems, we prove that a contractive coupling for any local Markov chain implies optimal bounds on the mixing time and the modified log-Sobolev constant for a large class of Markov chains including the Glauber dynamics,…
We consider the Ising model on a dense Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph, $\mathcal G(N,p)$, with $p>0$ fixed---equivalently, a disordered Curie--Weiss Ising model with $\mbox{Ber}(p)$ couplings---at zero temperature. The disorder may induce…
We investigate the dynamical fixed points of the zero temperature Glauber dynamics in Ising-like models. The stability analysis of the fixed points in the mean field calculation shows the existence of an exponent that depends on the…
We investigate the Glauber dynamics of the generalized (2+1)-dimensional $p$-SOS model under a hard floor constraint. This setting induces entropic repulsion: the integer-valued interface height is forced to remain above the wall and…
We consider the Glauber dynamics for the Ising model with "+" boundary conditions, at zero temperature or at temperature which goes to zero with the system size (hence the quotation marks in the title). In dimension d=3 we prove that an…
