We study ferromagnetic Ising models on finite graphs with an inhomogeneous external field, where a subset of vertices is designated as the boundary. We show that the influence of boundary conditions on any given spin is maximised when the…
Infinite-range interactions are known to facilitate the production of highly entangled states with applications in quantum information and metrology. However, many experimental systems have interactions that decay with distance, and the…
In this article we consider a lattice system of unbounded continuos spins. Otto & Reznikoff used the two-scale approach to show that exponential decay of correlations yields a logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI) with uniform constant in…
We prove a uniform Poincare' inequality for non-interacting unbounded spin systems with a conservation law, when the single-site potential is a bounded perturbation of a convex function. The result is then applied to Ginzburg-Landau…
In the context of interacting particle systems, we study the influence of the action of the semigroup on the concentration property of Lipschitz functions. As an application, this gives a new approach to estimate the relaxation speed to…
A variance inequality for spin-flip systems is obtained using comparatively weaker knowledge of relaxation to equilibrium based on coupling estimates for single site disturbances. We obtain variance inequalities interpolating between the…
We consider interacting particle systems with unbounded interaction range on general countably infinite graphs $S$ and prove explicit non-asymptotic error bounds for approximations of the infinite-volume dynamics by systems of finitely many…
We present an upper bound on the mixing rate of the equilibrium state of a dynamical systems defined by the one-sided shift and a non H\"{o}lder potential of summable variations. The bound follows from an estimation of the relaxation speed…
Correlation functions of ferromagnetic spin systems satisfying a Lee-Yang property are studied. It is shown that, for classical systems in a non-vanishing uniform external magnetic field $h$, the connected correlation functions decay…
We introduce and analyze a nonlinear exchange dynamics for Ising spin systems with arbitrary interactions. The evolution is governed by a quadratic Boltzmann-type equation that conserves the mean magnetization. Collisions are encoded…
Ultra-cold alkali atoms trapped in two distinct hyperfine states in an external magnetic field can mimic magnetic systems of spin 1/2 particles. We describe the spin-dependent effective interaction as a spin-spin interaction. As a…
Spin systems with long-range interactions are "non-extensive" if the strength of the interactions falls off sufficiently slowly with distance. It has been conjectured for ferromagnets, and more recently for spin glasses, that, everywhere in…
We investigate the decay rates of correlations for nonuniformly hyperbolic systems with or without singularities, on piecewise H\"older observables. By constructing a new scheme of coupling methods using the probability renewal theory, we…
We prove a correlation type inequality for spin systems with quenched symmetric random interactions. This gives monotonicity of the pressure with respect to the strength of the interaction for a class of spin glass models. Consequences…
A general theory is developed for describing the nonlinear relaxation of spin systems from a strongly nonequilibrium initial state, when, in addition, the sample is coupled to a resonator. Such processes are characterized by nonlinear…
We consider spin systems with nearest-neighbor interactions on an $n$-vertex $d$-dimensional cube of the integer lattice graph $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We study the effects that exponential decay with distance of spin correlations, specifically the…
In systems removed from equilibrium, intrinsic microscopic fluctuations become correlated over distances comparable to the characteristic macroscopic length over which the external constraint is exerted. In order to investigate this…
We consider the non-stationary quantum relaxation of the Ising spin chain in a transverse field of strength h. Starting from a homogeneously magnetized initial state the system approaches a stationary state by a process possessing quasi…
We study spin correlations for the highly frustrated classical pyrochlore lattice antiferromagnets with O(N) symmetry in the limit T->0. We conjecture that a local constraint obeyed by the extensively degenerate ground states dictates a…
Given a countable set of sites and a collection of flip rates at each site, we give a sufficient condition on the long-range dependancies of the flip rates ensuring the well-definedness of the corresponding spin system. This hypothesis has…
