An outstanding problem in statistical mechanics is the order parameter of the chiral Potts model. An elegant conjecture for this was made in 1983. It has since been successfully tested against series expansions, but as far as the author is…
In a new type of percolation phase transition, which was observed in a set of non-equilibrium models, each new connection between vertices is chosen from a number of possibilities by an Achlioptas-like algorithm. This causes preferential…
We study the critical behavior of the 3-state Potts model, where the spins are located at the centers of the occupied squares of the deterministic Sierpinski carpet. A finite-size scaling analysis is performed from Monte Carlo simulations,…
Nonequlibrium phase transition of an open Takayama-Lin Liu-Maki chain coupled with two reservoirs is investigated by combining a mean-field approximation and a formula characterizing nonequlibrium steady states, which is obtained from the…
We present extensive numerical simulations of a family of non-equilibrium Potts models with absorbing states that allows for a variety of scenarios, depending on the number of spin states and the range of the spin-spin interactions. These…
We classify four-state spin models with interactions along the edges according to their behavior under a specific group of symmetry transformations. This analysis uses the measure of complexity of the action of the symmetries, in the spirit…
We describe some of the recent results obtained for models with absorbing states. First, we present the nonequilibrium absorbing-state Potts model and discuss some of the factors that might affect the critical behaviour of such models. In…
A concept -- quantum order -- is introduced to describe a new kind of orders that generally appear in quantum states at zero temperature. Quantum orders that characterize universality classes of quantum states (described by {\em complex}…
In the present paper, we introduce a new kind of $p$-adic measures for $q+1$-state Potts model, called {\it $p$-adic quasi Gibbs measure}. For such a model, we derive a recursive relations with respect to boundary conditions. Note that we…
In this paper we study a continuum version of the Potts model. Particles are points in R^d, with a spin which may take S possible values, S being at least 3. Particles with different spins repel each other via a Kac pair potential. In mean…
A novel kind of irreversible phase transitions (IPT's) driven by an oscillatory input parameter is studied by means of computer simulations. Second order IPT's showing scale invariance in relevant dynamic critical properties are found to…
We consider a coupled Ising-Potts model on Cayley trees of order $ k \geq 2 $. This model involves spin vectors $ (s, \sigma) $, and generalizes both the Ising and Potts models by incorporating interactions between two types of spins: $s =…
Pattern avoiding machines were recently introduced by Claesson, Ferrari and the current author to gain a better understanding of the classical $2$-stacksort problem. In this paper we generalize these devices by allowing permutations with…
The finite lattice method of series expansion has been used to extend low-temperature series for the partition function, order parameter and susceptibility of the $q$-state Potts model to order $z^{56}$ (i.e. $u^{28}$), $z^{47}$, $z^{43}$,…
The three-state Potts model is numerically investigated on three-dimensional simple cubic lattices of up to \(128^3\) volume, concentrating on the neighborhood of the first-order phase transition separating the ordered and disordered…
We explore quantum phase transitions using two probes of quantum chaos: out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) and the $r$-parameter obtained from the level spacing statistics. In particular, we address $p$-spin models associated with…
We address the geometrical critical behavior of the two-dimensional Q-state Potts model in terms of the spin clusters (i.e., connected domains where the spin takes a constant value). These clusters are different from the usual…
In the framework of an extended phenomenological approach to phase transitions, it is shown that existing nonlinear relation between local critical atomic parameters and phenomenological order parameter induces the corresponding nonlinear…
The field of disordered systems provides many simple models in which the competing influences of thermal and non-thermal disorder lead to new phases and non-trivial thermal behavior of order parameters. In this paper, we add a model to the…
It is proposed that the $O(n)$ spin and geometrical percolation models can help to study the QCD phase diagram due to the universality properties of the phase transition. In this paper, correlations and fluctuations of various sizes of…
