We consider the phase separation problem for the one--dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model with long--range two--body interaction, $J(n)=n^{-2+\a}$ where $n\in \N$ denotes the distance of the two spins and $ \alpha \in ]0,\a_+[$ with…
We prove that all the translation invariant Gibbs states of the Ising model are a linear combination of the pure phases $\mu^+,\mu^-$ in the phase transition regime. This implies that the average magnetization is continuous in the phase…
It has long been expected that the 3d Ising model can be thought of as a string theory, where one interprets the domain walls that separate up spins from down spins as two-dimensional string worldsheets. The usual Ising Hamiltonian measures…
We discuss the finite temperature properties of ultracold bosons in optical lattices in the presence of an additional, smoothly varying potential, as in current experiments. Three regimes emerge in the phase diagram: a low-temperature Mott…
Part I of this article studied the specific heats of planar alternating layered Ising models with strips of strong coupling $J_1$ sandwiched between strips of weak coupling $J_2$, to illustrate qualitatively the effects of connectivity,…
In this paper we prove a scaling limit phase transition for a class of two-dimensional random polymers.
The transverse-field Ising model is one of the fundamental models in quantum many-body systems, yet a full understanding of its dynamics remains elusive in higher than one dimension. Here, we show for the first time the breakdown of…
In the two-dimensional Ising model weak random surface field is predicted to be a marginally irrelevant perturbation at the critical point. We study this question by extensive Monte Carlo simulations for various strength of disorder. The…
Thermal convection in an inclined layer between two parallel walls kept at different fixed temperatures is studied for fixed Prandtl number Pr=1.07. Depending on the angle of inclination and the imposed temperature difference, the flow…
In this paper, we consider the Ising model on the complete graph, also known as the Curie-Weiss model, and establish the limit profile of the Glauber dynamics in the high-temperature regime. Our strategy is a two-dimensional analog of the…
We study the Hessian geometry of toric Gibbons-Hawking metrics and their phase change phenomena via the images of their moment maps.
We apply an improved Taylor expansion method, which is a variational scheme to the Ising model in two dimensions. This method enables us to evaluate the free energy and magnetization in strong coupling regions from the weak coupling…
We show that soft core bosons in two dimensions with a ring exchange term exhibit a tendency for phase separation. This observation suggests that the thermodynamic stability of normal bose liquid phases driven by ring exchange should be…
The matrix product structure is considered on a regular lattice in the hyperbolic plane. The phase transition of the Ising model is observed on the hyperbolic $(5, 4)$ lattice by means of the corner-transfer-matrix renormalization group…
We investigate conditions for the existence of the limiting conditional distribution of a bivariate random vector when one component becomes large. We revisit the existing literature on the topic, and present some new sufficient conditions.…
A theory based on the thermodynamic Gibbs-Thomson relation is presented which provides the framework for understanding the time evolution of isolated nanoscale features (i.e., islands and pits) on surfaces. Two limiting cases are predicted,…
The exact determination of ground states of small systems is used in a scaling study of the random-field Ising model. While three variants of the model are found to be in the same universality class in 3 dimensions, the Gaussian and bimodal…
We study the thermodynamical observables of the 2d Ising model in the neighborhood of the magnetic axis by means of numerical diagonalization of the transfer matrix. In particular, we estimate the leading order corrections to the…
We study analytically the Ising model coupled to random lattices in dimension three and higher. The family of random lattices we use is generated by the large N limit of a colored tensor model generalizing the two-matrix model for Ising…
We consider the influence of a power-law deviation from the critical coupling such that the system is critical at its surface. We develop a scaling theory showing that such a perturbation introduces a new length scale which governs the…
