A model in statistical mechanics, characterised by the corresponding Gibbs measure, is a subset of the totality of probability distributions on the phase space. The shape of this subset, i.e., the geometry, then plays an important role in…
On a finite graph, there is a natural family of Boltzmann probability measures on cycle-rooted spanning forests, parametrized by weights on cycles. For a certain subclass of those weights, we construct Gibbs measures in infinite volume, as…
Gibbs-type priors are widely used as key components in several Bayesian nonparametric models. By virtue of their flexibility and mathematical tractability, they turn out to be predominant priors in species sampling problems, clustering and…
Recently, a combinatorial model for torsion pairs in the cluster category of Dynkin type A_n was introduced, and used to derive an explicit formula for their number. In this article we determine the number of torsion pairs that are…
We develop a theory of loops with involution. On this basis we define a Cayley-Dickson doubling on loops, and use it to investigate the lattice of varieties of loops with involution, focusing on properties that remain valid in the…
We study several statistical mechanical models on a general tree. Particular attention is devoted to the classical Heisenberg models, where the state space is the d-dimensional unit sphere and the interactions are proportional to the…
In this article we survey properties of mixed Poisson distributions and probabilistic aspects of the Stirling transform: given a non-negative random variable $X$ with moment sequence $(\mu_s)_{s\in\mathbb{N}}$ we determine a discrete random…
The Ising model is an equilibrium stochastic process used as a model in several branches of science including magnetic materials, geophysics, neuroscience, sociology and finance. Real systems of interest have finite size and a fixed…
In an earlier paper, we defined and studied q-analogues of the Stirling numbers of both types for the Coxeter group of type B. In the present work, we show how this approach can be extended to all irreducible complex reflection groups G.…
Ising model without external field on an infinite Lorentzian triangulation sampled from the uniform distribution is considered. We prove uniqueness of the Gibbs measure in the high temperature region and coexistence of at least two Gibbs…
We study a model of spatial random permutations over a discrete set of points. Formally, a permutation $\sigma$ is sampled proportionally to the weight $\exp\{-\alpha \sum_x V(\sigma(x)-x)\},$ where $\alpha>0$ is the temperature and $V$ is…
We use the invariant theory of binary quartics to give a new formula for the Cassels-Tate pairing on the $2$-Selmer group of an elliptic curve. Unlike earlier methods, our formula does not require us to solve any conics. An important role…
We give combinatorial proofs of two multivariate Cayley--Hamilton type theorems. The first one is due to Phillips (Amer. J. Math., 1919) involving $2k$ matrices, of which $k$ commute pairwise. The second one regards the mixed discriminant,…
In this paper, we shall discuss the extendability of probability and non-probability measures on Cayley trees to a $\sigma$-additive measure on Borel fields which has a fundamental role in the theory of Gibbs measures.
This article considers a class of disordered mean-field combinatorial optimization problems. We focus on the Gibbs measure, where the inverse temperature does not vary with the size of the graph and the edge weights are sampled from a…
We analyze the magnetization and the overlap distributions on the ferromagnetic Cayley tree. Two quantities are investigated: the asymptotic scaling of all the moments of the magnetization and overlap distributions, as well as the…
In this paper, we study the dynamics of the Potts-Bethe mapping associated with the $p-$adic $q-$state Potts model over the Cayley tree of order three. Namely, we establish the regularity of the Potts-Bethe mapping for the case $p\equiv 2 \…
In this article we make first steps in coupling matter to causal set theory in the path integral. We explore the case of the Ising model coupled to the 2d discrete Einstein Hilbert action, restricted to the 2d orders. We probe the phase…
We propose an iterated version of the Gilbert model, which results in a sequence of random mosaics of the plane. We prove that under appropriate scaling, this sequence of mosaics converges to that obtained by a classical Poisson line…
We generalise disagreement percolation to Gibbs point processes of balls with varying radii. This allows to establish the uniqueness of the Gibbs measure and exponential decay of pair correlations in the low activity regime by comparison…
