We prove decay rates for a vector-valued function $f$ of a non-negative real variable with bounded weak derivative, under rather general conditions on the Laplace transform $\hat{f}$. This generalizes results of Batty-Duyckaerts (2008) and…
We study the antiferromagnetic 3-state Potts model on general (periodic) plane quadrangulations $\Gamma$. Any quadrangulation can be built from a dual pair $(G,G^*)$. Based on the duality properties of $G$, we propose a new criterion to…
Interplay of topology and competing interactions can induce new phases and phase transitions at finite temperatures. We consider a weakly coupled two-dimensional hexatic-nematic XY model with a relative $Z_3$ Potts degrees of freedom,and…
We consider two measures of entanglement, the logarithmic negativity and the entanglement entropy, between regions of space in excited states of many-body systems formed by a finite number of particle excitations. In parts I and II of the…
We calculate the large-$q$ series expansion for the ground state degeneracy (= exponent of the ground state entropy) per site of the $q$-state Potts antiferromagnet on the $(3 \cdot 12^2)$ lattice, to order $O(y^{19})$, where $y=1/(q-1)$.…

This paper is a continuation of our previous analysis [BBCKK] of partition functions zeros in models with first-order phase transitions and periodic boundary conditions. Here it is shown that the assumptions under which the results of…
Half-quantum vortices (HQVs) can exist in a superconductor or superfluid with an exact or approximate U(1) \times U(1) symmetry, for instance in spinor condensates, 3He-A, Sr2RuO4, and possibly cuprate superconductors with stripe order. In…
We study the $q$ states Potts model with four site interaction on the square lattice. Based on the asymptotic behaviour of lattice animals, it is argued that when $q\leq 4$ the system exhibits a second-order phase transition, and when $q >…
The Potts model plays an essential role in classical statistical mechanics, illustrating many fundamental phenomena. One example is the existence of partially long-range-ordered states, in which some degrees of freedom remain disordered.…
Using the one-loop functional renormalization group technique we evaluate the self-energy in the weak-coupling regime of the 2D t-t' Hubbard model. At van Hove (vH) band fillings and at low temperatures the quasiparticle weight along the…
We determine the spaces of states of the two-dimensional $O(n)$ and $Q$-state Potts models with generic parameters $n,Q\in \mathbb{C}$ as representations of their known symmetry algebras. While the relevant representations of the conformal…
We study a variant of the ferromagnetic Potts model, recently introduced by Tamura, Tanaka and Kawashima, consisting of a ferromagnetic interaction among $q$ "visible" colours along with the presence of $r$ non-interacting "invisible"…
We derive rigorous upper and lower bounds for the ground state entropy of the $q$-state Potts antiferromagnet on the honeycomb and triangular lattices. These bounds are quite restrictive, especially for large $q$.

We extend our combinatorial approach of decomposing the partition function of the Potts model on finite two-dimensional lattices of size L x N to the case of toroidal boundary conditions. The elementary quantities in this decomposition are…
We study the collapse transition of the lattice homopolymer on a square lattice by calculating the exact partition function zeros. The exact partition function is obtained by enumerating the number of possible conformations for each energy…
We consider the q=4 Potts model on the square lattice with an additional hard-core nonlocal interaction. That interaction arises from the choice of the reference measure taken to be the uniform measure on the recurrent configurations for…
