In this paper we describe the asymptotic behavior of rigid spin lattice energies by exhibiting a continuous interfacial limit energy as scaling to zero the lattice spacing. The limit is not trivial below a percolation threshold: it can be…
We give an example of a one-dimensional scalar spin energy with long-range interactions not satisfying standard decay conditions and which admits a continuum approximation defined for functions u in BV((0,L),[-1,1]) taking into account the…
In the first part of the thesis we consider the constraints of causality and unitarity for particles interacting via strictly finite-range interactions. We generalize Wigner's causality bound to the case of non-vanishing partial-wave…
We study the atomistic-to-continuum limit of a class of energy functionals for crystalline materials via Gamma-convergence. We consider energy densities that may depend on interactions between all points of the lattice and we give…
We study the effect of long-range interactions in non-convex one-dimensional lattice systems in the simplified yet meaningful assumption that the relevant long-range interactions are between $M$-neighbours for some $M\ge 2$ and are convex.…
We study the homogenized energy densities of periodic ferromagnetic Ising systems. We prove that, for finite range interactions, the homogenized energy density, identifying the effective limit, is crystalline, i.e. its Wulff crystal is a…
We develop coarse-graining schemes for stochastic many-particle microscopic models with competing short- and long-range interactions on a d-dimensional lattice. We focus on the coarse-graining of equilibrium Gibbs states and using cluster…
We investigate the formation of polycrystalline structures in a class of particle systems. The atomistic energy is modeled as a sum of particle energies that favor atoms being locally isometric to a reference lattice. The discrete frame…
A relation between a class of stationary points of the energy landscape of continuous spin models on a lattice and the configurations of a Ising model defined on the same lattice suggests an approximate expression for the microcanonical…
In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of a family of discrete functionals as the lattice size, $\varepsilon>0$, tends to zero. We consider pairwise interaction energies satisfying $p$-growth conditions, $p<d$, $d$ being the…
We introduce a Random Energy Model on a hierarchical lattice where the interaction strength between variables is a decreasing function of their mutual hierarchical distance, making it a non-mean field model. Through small coupling series…
Given a discrete set $\Lambda$ in the plane (we will also say a {\em lattice}) and a real number $m\ge 0$, the renormalized energy introduced in \cite{ss1} heuristically describes the interaction energy of unit charges placed at the points…
We carry out an analysis of $\pi\pi$ scattering in the $IJ=00$, $11$ and $20$ channels in configuration space up to a maximal center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=1.4$ GeV. We separate the interaction into two regions marked by an elementarity…
We consider spin systems between a finite number $N$ of "species" or "phases" partitioning a cubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We suppose that interactions between points of the same phase are coercive, while between point of different phases…
We present a phase-field approximation of sharp-interface energies defined on partitions, designed for modeling grain boundaries in polycrystals. The independent variable takes values in the orthogonal group $\mathrm{O}(d)$ modulo a lattice…
We study theoretically layered spin systems where long-range dipolar interactions play a relevant role. By choosing a specific sample shape, we are able to reduce the complex Hamiltonian of the system to that of a much simpler coupled…
We consider a physical model where the total energy is governed by surface tension and attractive screened Coulomb potential on the 3-dimensional space. We obtain different periodic equilibrium patterns i.e. stationary sets for this energy,…
This work examines a discrete elastic energy system with local interactions described by a discrete second-order functional in the symmetric gradient and additional non-local random long-range interactions. We analyze the asymptotic…
A method is given to obtain closed form formulas for the energy and forces for an aggregate of charges interacting via a logarithmic interaction under periodic boundary conditions. The work done here is a generalization of Glasser's results…
The aim of this work is to provide further insight into the qualitative behavior of mechanical systems that are well described by Lennard-Jones type interactions on an atomistic scale. By means of $\Gamma$-convergence techniques, we study…
