The two-dimensional Ising model is studied at the boundary of a half-infinite cylinder. The three regular lattices (square, triangular and hexagonal) and the three regimes (sub-, super- and critical) are discussed. The probability of having…
We report on a systematic study of two dimensional, periodic, frustrated Ising models with a quantum dynamics introduced via a transverse magnetic field. The systems studied are the triangular and kagome lattice antiferromagnets, fully…

We consider the nonequilibrium time evolution of the transverse magnetization in the critical Ising and $XX$ quantum chains. For some inhomogeneously magnetized initial states we derive analytically the transverse magnetization profiles and…
We show that confinement in the quantum Ising model leads to nonthermal eigenstates, in both continuum and lattice theories, in both one (1D) and two dimensions (2D). In the ordered phase, the presence of a confining longitudinal field…
Gauge theories describe the fundamental forces in the standard model of particle physics and play an important role in condensed matter physics. The constituents of gauge theories, for example charged matter and electric gauge field, are…
We compute properties of the interface of the 3-dimensional Ising model for a wide range of temperatures, covering the whole region from the low temperature domain through the roughening transition to the bulk critical point. The interface…

In high-energy physics, confinement denotes the tendency of fundamental particles to remain bound together, preventing their observation as free, isolated entities. Interestingly, analogous confinement behavior emerges in certain condensed…
We simulate the Ising model on dynamical quadrangulations using a generalization of the flip move for triangulations with two aims: firstly, as a confirmation of the universality of the KPZ/DDK exponents of the Ising phase transition,…
We study the equilibrium properties of an Ising model on a disordered random network where the disorder can be quenched or annealed. The network consists of four-fold coordinated sites connected via variable length one-dimensional chains.…

We study a two dimensional Ising model between thermostats at different temperatures. By applying the recently introduced KQ dynamics, we show that the system reaches a steady state with coexisting phases transversal to the heat flow. The…
Magnetic properties of the transverse-field Ising model on curved (hyperbolic) lattices are studied by a tensor product variational formulation that we have generalized for this purpose. First, we identify the quantum phase transition for…
This paper rests to a large extend on a paper I wrote some time ago on 'Duality in generalized Ising models and phase transitions without local order parameter'. It deals with Ising models with interactions containing products of more than…
We study the critical breakdown of two-dimensional quantum magnets in the presence of algebraically decaying long-range interactions by investigating the transverse-field Ising model on the square and triangular lattice. This is achieved…
A model describing Ising spins with short range interactions moving randomly in a plane is considered. In the presence of a hard core repulsion, which prevents the Ising spins from overlapping, the model is analogous to a dynamically…
