We consider the 3-state Potts model in $d\geq2$ dimensions. For $d$ less than the upper critical dimension $d_\text{crit}$, the model has a critical and a tricritical fixed point. In $d=2$, these fixed points are described by minimal…
We propose a matrix-model derivation of the scaling exponents of the critical and tricritical q-states Potts model coupled to gravity on a sphere. In close analogy with the $O(n)$ model, we reduce the determination of the one-loop-to-vacuum…
An exactly solvable cluster spin model with three-spin interaction couplings J_x (for XZX spin components) and J_y (for YZY spin components) in the presence of a transverse magnetic field $h$ for a spin chain is investigated. For $h=0$, and…
We develop a field-theoretic representation for the configurations of an interface between two ordered phases of a q-state Potts model in two dimensions, in the solid-on-solid approximation. The model resembles the field theory of directed…
The q-state Potts model can be formulated in geometric terms, with Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) clusters as fundamental objects. If the phase transition of the model is second order, it can be equivalently described as a percolation transition of…
The properties of the pure-site clusters of spin models, i.e. the clusters which are obtained by joining nearest-neighbour spins of the same sign, are here investigated. In the Ising model in two dimensions it is known that such clusters…
For independent nearest-neighbour bond percolation on Z^d with d >> 6, we prove that the incipient infinite cluster's two-point function and three-point function converge to those of integrated super-Brownian excursion (ISE) in the scaling…
We compute the combined two and three loop order correction to the spin-spin correlation functions for the 2D Ising and q-states Potts model with random bonds at the critical point. The procedure employed is the renormalisation group…
The two-dimensional Potts model can be studied either in terms of the original Q-component spins, or in the geometrical reformulation via Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) clusters. While the FK representation makes sense for arbitrary real values of…
We use Monte Carlo simulations to measure the spin-spin correlation function in the disordered phase of two-dimensional $q$-state Potts models with $q=10,15$, and $20$ at the first-order transition point $\beta_t$. To extract the…
We give the exact critical frontier of the Potts model on bowtie lattices. For the case of $q=1$, the critical frontier yields the thresholds of bond percolation on these lattices, which are exactly consistent with the results given by Ziff…
This is the first of two papers on the critical behaviour of bond percolation models in high dimensions. In this paper, we obtain strong joint control of the critical exponents eta and delta, for the nearest-neighbour model in very high…
The Potts model describes interacting spins with $Q$ different components, which is a direct generalization of the Ising model ($Q=2$). Compared to the existing exact solutions in 2D, the phase transitions and critical phenomena in the 3D…
Non-local twist operators are introduced for the O(n) and Q-state Potts models in two dimensions which, in the limits n -> 0 (resp. Q -> 1) count the numbers of self-avoiding loops (resp. percolation clusters) surrounding a given point.…
We discuss the critical behaviour of 2D Ising and q-states Potts models coupled by their energy density. We found new tricritical points. The procedure employed is the renormalisation approach of the perturbations series around conformal…
We study the bond percolation problem in random graphs of $N$ weighted vertices, where each vertex $i$ has a prescribed weight $P_i$ and an edge can connect vertices $i$ and $j$ with rate $P_iP_j$. The problem is solved by the $q\to 1$…

The two-dimensional q-state Potts model is subjected to a Z_q symmetric disorder that allows for the existence of a Nishimori line. At q=2, this model coincides with the +/- J random-bond Ising model. For q>2, apart from the usual pure and…
The theoretical basis of continuum percolation has changed greatly since its beginning as little more than an analogy with lattice systems. Nevertheless, there is yet no comprehensive theory of this field. A basis for such a theory is…
We find the scaling limits of a general class of boundary-to-boundary connection probabilities and multiple interfaces in the critical planar FK-Ising model, thus verifying predictions from the physics literature. We also discuss…
