Phase transitions of the mixed spin-1/2 and spin-S (S >= 1/2) Ising model on a three-dimensional (3D) decorated lattice with a layered magnetic structure are investigated within the framework of a precise mapping relationship to the simple…
We show that a lattice of phase oscillators with random natural frequencies, described by a generalization of the nearest-neighbor Kuramoto model with an additional cosine coupling term, undergoes a phase transition from a desynchronized to…
We consider the non-conserved dynamics of the Ising model on the two-dimensional square lattice, where each spin is influenced preferentially by its East and North neighbours. The single-spin flip rates are such that the stationary state is…
We consider Wilson's SU(N) lattice gauge theory (without fermions) at negative values of beta= 2N/g^2 and for N=2 or 3. We show that in the limit beta -> -infinity, the path integral is dominated by configurations where links variables are…
We study several statistical mechanical models on a general tree. Particular attention is devoted to the classical Heisenberg models, where the state space is the d-dimensional unit sphere and the interactions are proportional to the…
The phase ordering properties of lattices of band-chaotic maps coupled diffusively with some coupling strength $g$ are studied in order to determine the limit value $g_e$ beyond which multistability disappears and non-trivial collective…
We present a non-perturbative study of the \lambda \phi^{4} model in a three dimensional Euclidean space, where the two spatial coordinates are non-commutative. Our results are obtained from numerical simulations of the lattice model, after…
Common ground to recent studies exploiting relations between dynamical systems and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics is, so we argue, the standard Gibbs formalism applied on the level of space-time histories. The assumptions (chaoticity…
Exactly soluble spin-$\frac{1}2$ models on three-dimensional lattices are proposed by generalizing Kitaev model on honeycomb lattice to three dimensions with proper periodic boundary conditions. The simplest example is spins on a diamond…
We consider a specific continuous-spin Gibbs distribution $\mu_{t=0}$ for a double-well potential that allows for ferromagnetic ordering. We study the time-evolution of this initial measure under independent diffusions. For `high…
This paper considers a non-standard problem of generating samples from a low-temperature Gibbs distribution with \emph{constrained} support, when some of the coordinates of the mode lie on the boundary. These coordinates are referred to as…
We investigate, via Monte Carlo simulations, the phase structure of a system of closed, nonintersecting but otherwise non-interacting, loops in 3 Euclidean dimensions. The loops correspond to closed trajectories of massive particles and we…
We study the magnetic phases of a non-equilibrium spin chain, where coherent interactions between neighboring lattice sites compete with alternating gain and loss processes. This competition between coherent and incoherent dynamics induces…
Disagreement percolation connects a Gibbs lattice gas and i.i.d. site percolation on the same lattice such that non-percolation implies uniqueness of the Gibbs measure. This work generalises disagreement percolation to the hard-sphere model…
We present a class of random cellular automata with multiple invariant measures which are all non-Gibbsian. The automata have configuration space {0,1}^{Z^d}, with d > 1, and they are noisy versions of automata with the "eroder property".…
We consider a general class of disordered mean-field models where both the spin variables and disorder variables take finitely many values. To investigate the size-dependence in the phase-transition regime we construct the metastate…
The Gibbs measures of an interaction can behave chaotically as the temperature drops to zero. We observe that for some classical lattice systems there are interactions exhibiting a related phenomenon of sensitive dependence of Gibbs…
We consider the Curie-Weiss model at a given initial temperature in vanishing external field evolving under a Glauber spin-flip dynamics corresponding to a possibly different temperature. We study the limiting conditional probabilities and…
We consider $\mathrm{SU}(N)$-symmetric Ginzburg-Landau models coupled to non-compact Abelian gauge field focusing on the case $N > 2$ at finite temperature. We show that, at least for sufficiently large gauge-field coupling constants, these…
An important challenge in statistical analysis concerns the control of the finite sample bias of estimators. For example, the maximum likelihood estimator has a bias that can result in a significant inferential loss. This problem is…
