In hyperbolic space density cannot be defined by a limit as we define it in Euclidean space. We describe the local density bounds for sphere packings and we discuss the different attempts to define optimal arrangements in hyperbolic space.
In a recent paper (cond-mat/0506445) we derived an expression for the replicated free energy of a liquid of hard spheres based on the HNC free energy functional. An approximate equation of state for the glass and an estimate of the random…
A subset of the Hamming cube over $n$-letter alphabet is said to be $d$-maximal if its diameter is $d$, and adding any point increases the diameter. Our main result shows that each $d$-maximal set is either of size at most $(n+o(n))^d$ or…
The present work surveys problems in $n$-dimensional space with $n$ large. Early development in the study of packing and covering in high dimensions was motivated by the geometry of numbers. Subsequent results, such as the discovery of the…

We propose a model for a two dimensional, associative water-like lattice gas with one single variable representing both long and short-range interactions. The corresponding hamiltonian was solved exactly, by state enumeration in a finite…

We analyze the phase diagram of a model of hard spheres of chemical radius one, which is defined over a generalized Bethe lattice containing short loops. We find a liquid, two different crystalline, a glassy and an unusual crystalline…
We examine a two-dimensional nonequilibrium lattice model where particles adsorb at empty sites and desorb when the number of neighbouring particles is greater than a given threshold. In a certain range of parameters the model exhibits…
In this paper we study the large time behavior of regular solutions to a nematic liquid crystal system in Sobolev spaces $H^m(\R^3)$ for $m\geq 0$.We obtain optimal decay rates in $H^m(R^3)$ spaces, in the sense that the rates coincide with…
We discuss a new strategy for treating the complex action problem of lattice field theories with a $\theta$-term based on density of states (DoS) methods. The key ingredient is to use open boundary conditions where the topological charge is…
We study the ground state properties of repulsively interacting bosons on the honeycomb lattice using large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations. In the hard-core limit the half-filled system develops long ranged diagonal order for…
Simulations in finite density, beta=0 lattice QCD by means of the Monomer-Dimer-Polymer algorithm show a signal of first order transition at finite temporal size. This behaviour agrees with predictions of the mean field approximation, but…
We consider the problem of describing the typical (possibly) non-linear code of minimum distance bounded from below over a large alphabet. We concentrate on block codes with the Hamming metric and on subspace codes with the injection…
In this paper I will approach the computation of the maximum density of regular lattices in large dimensions using a statistical mechanics approach. The starting point will be some theorems of Roger, which are virtually unknown in the…
The $k$-NN hard core lattice gas model on a square lattice, in which the first $k$ next nearest neighbor sites of a particle are excluded from being occupied by another particle, is the lattice version of the hard disc model in two…
Packing spheres efficiently in large dimension $d$ is a particularly difficult optimization problem. In this paper we add an isotropic interaction potential to the pure hard-core repulsion, and show that one can tune it in order to maximize…
