We describe random loop models and their relations to a family of quantum spin systems on finite graphs. The family includes spin 1/2 Heisenberg models with possibly anisotropic spin interactions and certain spin 1 models with…
We calculate the atomic (spin) Wigner function for the single mode Dicke model in the regime of large number of two-level atoms. The dynamics of this quasi-probability function on the Bloch sphere allows us to visualize the consequences of…
We carry out the spatially periodic homogenization of nonlinear bending theory for plates. The derivation is rigorous in the sense of Gamma-convergence. In contrast to what one naturally would expect, our result shows that the limiting…
In the dimer model, a configuration consists of a perfect matching of a fixed graph. If the underlying graph is planar and bipartite, such a configuration is associated to a height function. For appropriate "critical" (weighted) graphs,…
Kramers' theorem ensures double degeneracy in the energy spectrum of a time-reversal symmetric fermionic system with half-integer total spin. Here we are now trying to go beyond the closed system and discuss Kramers' degeneracy in open…
We consider $N\times N$ symmetric or hermitian random matrices with independent, identically distributed entries where the probability distribution for each matrix element is given by a measure $\nu$ with a subexponential decay. We prove…
In this paper we continue the study of perturbative renormalizations in an $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ supersymmetric model. Previously we analyzed one-loop graphs in the heterotically deformed CP$(N-1)$ models. Now we extend the analysis of the…
In this note, we give a closed formula for the partition function of the dimer model living on a (2 x n) strip of squares or hexagons on the torus for arbitrary even n. The result is derived in two ways, by using a Potts model like…
We present an application of the Grassmann algebra to the problem of the monomer-dimer statistics on a two-dimensional square lattice. The exact partition function, or total number of possible configurations, of a system of dimers with a…
On a finite weighted graph, the dimer model is a probability measure on its dimer covers, that assigns to any cover a probability proportional to the product of the weights of its edges. For planar bipartite graphs, dimer correlations are…
We consider a general statistical mechanics model on a product of local spaces and prove that, if the corresponding measure is reflection positive, then several site-monotonicity properties for the two-point function hold. As an application…
We study a class of quantum spin systems that includes the $S=\tfrac12$ Heisenberg and XY-models, and prove that two-point correlations exhibit exponential decay in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. The field is not necessarily…
We prove the vertex-reinforced jump process (VRJP) is recurrent in two dimensions for any translation invariant finite range initial rates. Our proof has two main ingredients. The first is a direct connection between the VRJP and sigma…
We propose a geometric counterpart of the dimer model on bipartite graphs. A state of our model consists of a choice of a point for each white vertex and hyperplane for each black vertex. This data is subject to certain conditions…
$O(N)$ invariant vector models have been shown to possess non-trivial scaling large $N$ limits, at least perturbatively within the loop expansion, a property they share with matrix models of 2D quantum gravity. In contrast with matrix…
The classical dimer model is concerned with the (weighted) enumeration of perfect matchings of a graph. An $n$-dimer cover is a multiset of edges that can be realized as the disjoint union of $n$ individual matchings. For a probability…
For $n\in [-2,2]$ the $O(n)$ model on a random lattice has critical points to which a scaling behaviour characteristic of 2D gravity interacting with conformal matter fields with $c\in [-\infty,1]$ can be associated. Previously we have…
We present a relativistic generalization of the Wigner inequality for the scalar and pseudoscalar particles decaying to two particles with spin (fermions and photons.) We consider Wigner's inequality with the full spin anticorrelation (with…
Kramers degeneracy theorem is one of the basic results in quantum mechanics. According to it, the time-reversal symmetry makes each energy level of a half-integer spin system at least doubly degenerate, meaning the absence of transitions or…
