We point out that the high-q Potts model on a regular lattice at its transition temperature provides an example of a non-robust - in the sense recently proposed by Pemantle and Steif- phase transition.
In the present paper, we study a phase transition problem for the $q$-state $p$-adic Potts model over the Cayley tree of order three. We consider a more general notion of $p$-adic Gibbs measure which depends on parameter $\rho\in\bq_p$.…
We determine the finite-temperature phase diagram and critical behavior of the classical square-lattice Heisenberg-compass model using large-scale Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling. Six symmetry distinct ordered phases are…

Dynamic scaling analyses are performed in the spin-glass phase of the $\pm J$ Ising, the {\it XY}, and the Heisenberg models in three dimensions. We found a crossover from the critical dynamics to the ground-state dynamics in the Ising…
The Heisenberg model, a quantum mechanical analogue of the Ising model, has a large ground state degeneracy, due to the symmetry generated by the total spin. This symmetry is also responsible for degeneracies in the rest of the spectrum. We…
In this paper, we consider the $\lambda$-model with nearest neighbor interactions and with competing Potts interactions on the Cayley tree of order-two. We notice that if $\lambda$-function is taken as a Potts interaction function, then…

Two dimensional Potts model is a classical example where the symmetry of the order parameter controls the order of a phase transition: on a square lattice with nearest-neighbours interaction, when the number of states $q$ is less than or…
