Clinical thermal ablation outcomes display significant variability that classical bio-heat models cannot fully explain. One reason may lie in the fractal architecture of biological tissues, which has been identified as a robust biomarker…

In this notice we would like to study the fractal structure of the set of high points for the membrane model in the critical dimension d=4. We are able to compute the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points which are atypically high, and…

The spin-field interaction is considered, in the context of the gauge fields/string correspondence, in the large 't Hooft coupling limit. The latter can be viewed as a WKB-type approximation to the AdS/CFT duality conjecture. Basic…

In this paper, we consider the set of interfaces between + and - spins arising for the critical planar Ising model on a domain with + boundary conditions, and show that it converges towards CLE(3). Our proof relies on the study of the…

We consider Maxwell theory on a non-spin manifold. Depending on the choice of statistics for line operators, there are three non-anomalous theories and one anomalous theory with different symmetry fractionalizations. We establish the…

This study proposes a method for producing an infinite number of fractals using aperiodic substitution tilings, exemplified by the Ammann Chair tiling. Higher-order substitutions of aperiodic tilings are utilized in relation to the…

We study interfaces in an Allen-Cahn equation, separating two metastable states. Our focus is on a directional quenching scenario, where a parameter renders the system bistable in a half plane and monostable in its complement, with the…

The coupling between defects and extended critical degrees of freedom gives rise to the intriguing theory known as defect conformal field theory (CFT). In this work, we introduce a novel family of boundary and interface CFTs by coupling $N$…

Topological Data Analysis (TDA) uses insights from topology to create representations of data able to capture global and local geometric and topological properties. Its methods have successfully been used to develop estimations of fractal…

The de Almeida-Thouless (AT) line in Ising spin glasses is the phase boundary in the temperature $T$ and magnetic field $h$ plane below which replica symmetry is broken. Using perturbative renormalization group (RG) methods, we show that…

The Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) describes the continuum limit of domain walls at phase transitions in two dimensional statistical systems. We consider here the SLEs in the self-dual Z(N) spin models at the critical point. For N=2 and…

Interfacial spin-flip scattering plays an important role in magnetoelectronic devices. Spin loss at metallic interfaces is usually quantified by matching the magnetoresistance data for multilayers to the Valet-Fert model, while treating…

We consider pairs of few-body Ising models where each spin enters a bounded number of interaction terms (bonds), such that each model can be obtained from the dual of the other after freezing $k$ spins on large-degree sites. Such a pair of…

The effect of geometry and morphology of superconducting structure on magnetic flux trapping is considered. It is found that the clusters of normal phase, which act as pinning centers, have significant fractal properties. The fractal…

We study the two-dimensional domain morphology of twisted nematic liquid crystals during their phase-ordering kinetics [R. A. L. Almeida, Phys. Rev. Lett. 131 (2023) 268101], which is a physical candidate to self-generate critical clusters…

The spatial distribution of unvisited/persistent sites in $d=1$ $A+A\to\emptyset$ model is studied numerically. Over length scales smaller than a cut-off $\xi(t)\sim t^{z}$, the set of unvisited sites is found to be a fractal. The fractal…

The Ashkin-Teller model can be formulated as a pair of 2D Ising models, interacting via a four-spin interaction. I consider the case of weak anisotropy (slight a-symmetry between the two Ising layers) and weak coupling. I show that the…

We revisit the critical two-dimensional Ashkin-Teller model, i.e. the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ orbifold of the compactified free boson CFT at $c=1$. We solve the model on the plane by computing its three-point structure constants and proving crossing…

We propose a multi-boundary generalization of thermofield double states (TFD) of a two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) and show, through a conformal map to the complex plane, that they are closely related to multi-point correlation…

We investigate how different interface geometries of an Al/Al$_2$O$_3$ junction, a common component of modern tunnel devices, affect electron transport through the tunnel barrier. We study six distinct Al/Al$_2$O$_3$ interfaces which differ…
