We prove that various SO(n)-invariant n-vector models with interactions which have a deep and narrow enough minimum have a first-order transition in the temperature. The result holds in dimension two or more, and is independent on the…
The SuperConformal theory in three space-time dimensions with SO(16) $R$-symmetry, 128 bosons, and 128 fermions, cannot sustain interactions. This result is obtained using both light-cone superspace techniques which rely on algebraic…
We present a class of examples of nearest-neighbour, boubded-spin models, in which the low-temperature Gibbs measures do not converge as the temperature is lowered to zero, in any dimension.
We investigate the critical behavior of disordered systems transversely driven at a uniform and steady velocity. An intuitive argument predicts that the long-distance physics of $D$-dimensional driven disordered systems at zero temperature…
The equation of state of a one-dimensional classical nonrelativistic Coulomb gas of particles in the adjoint representation of SU(2) is given. The problem is solved both with and without sources in the fundamental representation at either…
For a non-interacting Bose gas on a lattice we compute the shift of the critical temperature for condensation when random-bond and onsite disorder are present. We evidence that the shift depends on the space dimensionality D and the filling…
We consider the Solid-On-Solid model interacting with a wall, which is the statistical mechanics model associated with the integer-valued field $(\phi(x))_{x\in \mathbb Z^2}$, and the energy functional $$V(\phi)=\beta \sum_{x\sim…
Based on symmetry consideration, quasi-one-dimensional (1D) objects, relevant to numerous observables or phenomena, can be classified into eight different types. We provide various examples of each 1D type, and discuss their Symmetry…
In liquid mixtures and other binary systems at low temperatures the pure phases may coexist, separated by an interface. The interface tension vanishes according to $\sigma = \sigma_0 (1 - T/T_c)^{\mu}$ as the temperature T approaches the…
We consider a nearest-neighbor solid-on-solid (SOS) model, with several spin values $0,1,\ldots,m,$ $m\geq2,$ and nonzero external field, on a Cayley tree of degree $k$ (with $k+1$ neighbors). We are aiming to extend the results of…
Using a weak-disorder scheme and real-space renormalization-group techniques, we obtain analytical results for the critical behavior of various q-state Potts models with correlated disordered exchange interactions along d1 of d spatial…
A study is made of some properties of this interface in the SU(3) pure gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions. At high temperatures, the interface tension is measured and shows agreement with the perturbative prediction. Near the critical…
Wigner crystals are extremely fragile, which is shown to result from very strong geometric frustration germane to long-range Coulomb interactions. Physically, this is manifested by a very small characteristic energy scale for shear density…
For 1-D parabolic PDEs with disturbances at both boundaries and distributed disturbances we provide ISS estimates in various norms. Due to the lack of an ISS Lyapunov functional for boundary disturbances, the proof methodology uses (i) an…
We study the finite and non-zero temperature phase diagram of the Extended Bose-Hubbard Model for both pure and disordered systems. Such a system can be experimentally realized by trapping ultracold Rydberg atoms in optical lattices. By…
We show that $SU_q(2)$ invariant systems in one and two dimensions exhibit Bose-Einstein condensation for $q >1$. For these systems there is a $\lambda$-transition at the critical temperature. The critical temperature and the gap in the…
This article surveys a number of theoretical problems and open questions in the field of two-dimensional dilute Bose gases with weak repulsive interactions. In contrast to three dimensions, in two dimensions the formation of long-range…
In this note, we study the low temperature $(2+1)$D SOS interface above a hard floor with critical pinning potential $\lambda_w= \log (\frac{1}{1-e^{-4\beta}})$. At $\lambda<\lambda_w$ entropic repulsion causes the surface to delocalize and…
We study the solid-on-solid interface model above a horizontal wall in three dimensional space, with an attractive interaction when the interface is in contact with the wall, at low temperatures. The system presents a sequence of layering…
