We study the Ising model in a box $\Lambda$ in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ (not necessarily parallel to the directions of the lattice) with Dobrushin boundary conditions at low temperature. We couple the spin configuration with the configurations under…
Symmetry-breaking order at low temperatures is often accompanied by slow relaxation dynamics, due to diverging free-energy barriers arising from interfaces between different ordered states. Here, we extend this correspondence to classical…
The general problem of two-phase transport in phase-field models is analyzed: the flux of a conserved quantity is driven by the gradient of a potential through a medium that consists of domains of two distinct phases which are separated by…
We study phase separation in two dimensions in the scaling limit below criticality. The general form of the magnetization profile as the volume goes to infinity is determined exactly within the field theoretical framework which explicitly…
