We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of the $q$-state Potts model following a quench from the high temperature disordered phase to zero temperature. The time dependent two-point correlation functions of the order parameter field satisfy…
We prove the analogue of the strong Szeg{\H o} limit theorem for a large class of bordered Toeplitz determinants. In particular, by applying our results to the formula of Au-Yang and Perk \cite{YP} for the next-to-diagonal correlations…
In the large-U limit, the Falicov-Kimball model maps onto an effective Ising model, with an order parameter described by a BCS-like mean-field theory in infinite dimensions. In the small-U limit, van Dongen and Vollhardt showed that the…
We prove Lifshitz behavior at the bottom of the spectrum for non--negative random potentials, i.\,e.\ show that the IDS is exponentially small at low energies. The theory is developed for the breather potential and generalized to all…
Phase diagram and pattern formation in two-dimensional Ising model with coupling between order parameter and lattice vibrations is investigated by Monte-Carlo simulations. It is shown that if the coupling is strong enough (or phonons are…
We briefly review the Ising model with uncorrelated, quenched random-site or random-bond disorder, which has been controversial in both two and four dimensions. In these dimensions, the leading exponent alpha, which characterizes the…
In this article, we investigate the energy landscape and metastable behavior of the Ising and Potts models on two-dimensional square or hexagonal lattices in the low temperature regime, especially in the absence of an external magnetic…
Using combinatorial optimisation techniques we study the critical properties of the two- and the three-dimensional Ising model with uniformly distributed random antiferromagnetic couplings $(1 \le J_i \le 2)$ in the presence of a…
The first-order phase transition of the two-dimensional eight-state Potts model is shown to be rounded when long-range correlated disorder is coupled to energy density. Critical exponents are estimated by means of large-scale Monte Carlo…
We propose a solution to the puzzle of dimensional reduction in the random field Ising model, inverting the question and asking: to what random problem in $D=d+2$ dimensions does a pure system in $d$ dimensions correspond? We consider two…
In a celebrated 1990 paper, Aizenman and Wehr proved that the two-dimensional random field Ising model has a unique infinite volume Gibbs state at any temperature. The proof is ergodic-theoretic in nature and does not provide any…
The thermal fluctuations that exist at very low temperature in disordered systems are often attributed to the existence of some two-level excitations. In this paper, we revisit this question via the explicit studies of the following 1D…
In this work we present an extension of the technique of the order reduction to higher perturbative approximations in an iterative fashion. The intention is also to analyze more carefully the conditions for the validity of the order…
Enormous advances have been made in the past 20 years in our understanding of the random-field Ising model, and there is now consensus on many aspects of its behavior at least in thermal equilibrium. In contrast, little is known about its…
The Ising model in the presence of a random field is investigated within the mean field approximation based on Landau expansion. The random field is drawn from the trimodal probability distribution $P(h_{i})=p \delta(h_{i}-h_{0}) + q \delta…
The interplay between disorder, quantum fluctuations and dissipation is studied in the random transverse Ising chain coupled to a dissipative Ohmic bath with a real space renormalization group. A typically very large length scale, L*, is…
We consider the effects of the non-local Ising-like "core spin" correlations on the order-parameter fluctuation contribution to the resistivity and thermodynamics of metals showing Ising-like order at finite temperature. We employ the…
We consider the Ising model between 2 and 4 dimensions perturbed by quenched disorder in the strength of the interaction between nearby spins. In the interval 2<d<4 this disorder is a relevant perturbation that drives the system to a new…
For a finite dimensional spin-glass model we prove local order at low temperatures for both local observables and for products of observables at arbitrary mutual distance. When the Hamiltonian includes the Edwards-Anderson interaction we…
To avoid the complicated topology of surviving clusters induced by standard Strong Disorder RG in dimension $d>1$, we introduce a modified procedure called 'Boundary Strong Disorder RG' where the order of decimations is chosen a priori. We…
