A field-theoretic description of critical behavior of Ising systems with long-range interactions is obtained in the two-loop approximation directly in the three-dimensional space. It is shown that long-range interactions affect the…
The present review is devoted to the problems of finite-size scaling due to the presence of long-range interaction decaying at large distance as $1/r^{d+\sigma}$, where $d$ is the spatial dimension and the long-range parameter $\sigma>0$.…
We study the critical behavior and the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a two-dimensional Ising model with non-static interactions. In our model, bonds are dynamically changing according to a majority rule depending on the set of closest…
Recently, it has been found that an effective long-range interaction is realized among local bistable variables (spins) in systems where the elastic interaction causes ordering of the spins. In such systems, generally we expect both…
