Phase transition in the two-dimensional $q$-state Potts model with random ferromagnetic couplings in the large-q limit is conjectured to be described by the isotropic version of the infinite randomness fixed point of the random…
We study a nonequilibrium Ising model that stochastically evolves under the simultaneous operation of several spin-flip mechanisms. In other words, the local magnetic fields change sign randomly with time due to competing kinetics. This…
In this paper, we explore the metastable behavior of the Glauber dynamics associated with the three-state Potts model with an asymmetrical external field at a low-temperature regime. The model exhibits three monochromatic configurations: a…
We study a three-state Potts model extended by allowing cyclic dominance between the states as it appears for the rock-scissors-paper game. Monte Carlo simulations are performed on a square lattice when varying the temperature and the…
Machine-learning (ML) models trained on Ising spin configurations have demonstrated surprising effectiveness in classifying phases of Potts models, even when processing severely reduced representations that retain only two spin states. To…
The Potts model is one of the most popular spin models of statistical physics. The prevailing majority of work done so far corresponds to the lattice version of the model. However, many natural or man-made systems are much better described…
The paradigmatic example of a continuous quantum phase transition is the transverse field Ising ferromagnet. In contrast to classical critical systems, whose properties depend only on symmetry and the dimension of space, the nature of a…
We investigate the continuum q-Potts model at its transition point from the disordered to the ordered regime, with particular emphasis on the coexistence of disordered and ordered phases in the high-q case. We argue that occurrence of phase…
The nature of the zero temperature ordering transition in the 3D Gaussian random field Ising magnet is studied numerically, aided by scaling analyses. In the ferromagnetic phase the scaling of the roughness of the domain walls, $w\sim…
We consider a class of spin systems on $\Z^d$ with vector valued spins $(\bS_x)$ that interact via the pair-potentials $J_{x,y} \bS_x\cdot\bS_y$. The interactions are generally spread-out in the sense that the $J_{x,y}$'s exhibit either…
We investigate the dynamics of the three-state Potts quantum spin chain in the extreme ferromagnetic limit using a perturbative expansion in the transverse magnetic field. We demonstrate that a perturbative approach provides access to…
We study two-dimensional Ising spins, evolving through reinforcement learning using their state, action, and reward. The state of a spin is defined as whether it is in the majority or minority with its nearest neighbours. The spin updates…
In studies of the QCD deconfining phase transition or cross-over by means of heavy ion experiments, one ought to be concerned about non-equilibrium effects due to heating and cooling of the system. In this paper we extend our previous study…
We investigate the critical behaviour of the three-dimensional, three state Potts model in presence of a negative external field h, i.e. disfavouring one of the three states. A genuine phase transition is present for all values of |h|,…
We study the ground-state properties of a spin-1/2 model on a chain containing four-spin Ising-like interactions in the presence of both transverse and longitudinal magnetic fields. We use entanglement entropy and finite-size scaling…
In some recent papers by Tamura, Tanaka and Kawashima [arXiv:1102.5475, arXiv:1012.4254], a class of Potts models with "invisible" states was introduced, for which the authors argued by numerical arguments and by a mean-field analysis that…
Within the canonical ensemble framework, this paper investigates the presence of higher-order transition signals in the $q$-state Potts model (for $q \geq 3$), using two geometric order parameters: isolated spins number and the average…
The order of a phase transition is usually determined by the nature of the symmetry breaking at the phase transition point and the dimension of the model under consideration. For instance, q-state Potts models in two dimensions display a…
We analyze the problem of how different ground states associated to the same set of the Hamiltonian parameters evolve after a sudden quench. To realize our analysis we define a quantitative approach to the local distinguishability between…
We study the fate of the 2d kinetic q-state Potts model after a sudden quench to zero temperature. Both ground states and complicated static states are reached with non-zero probabilities. These outcomes resemble those found in the quench…
