In this paper, we study the Villain model in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ in dimension $d\geq 3$. It is conjectured, that the parallel correlation function in the infinite volume Gibbs state, i.e., the map $$ x \mapsto \langle \cos\theta(0) \cos\theta(x)…
We consider classical $O(N)$ vector models in dimension three and higher and investigate the nature of the low-temperature expansions for their multipoint spin correlations. We prove that such expansions define asymptotic series, and derive…
In this paper, we study the influence of the vortices on the fluctuations of $2d$ systems such as the Coulomb gas, the Villain model or the integer-valued Gaussian free field. In the case of the $2d$ Villain model, we prove that the…
For a family of integer-valued height functions defined over the faces of planar graphs, we establish a relation between the probability of connection by level sets and the spin-spin correlations of the dual $O(2)$ symmetric spin models…
We simulate the 2d U(1) gauge Higgs model on the lattice with a topological angle $\theta$. The corresponding complex action problem is overcome by using a dual representation based on the Villain action appropriately endowed with a…
For the Ising model defined on $a\mathbb{Z}^2$ at critical temperature with external field $a^{15/8}h$, we give a simple and elementary proof that its truncated two-point function decays exponentially. The proof combines the high…
The nearest-neighbor Villain, or periodic Gaussian, model is a useful tool to understand the physics of the topological defects of the two-dimensional nearest-neighbor $XY$ model, as the two models share the same symmetries and are in the…
The study of the low temperature phase of spin glass models by means of Monte Carlo simulations is a challenging task, because of the very slow dynamics and the severe finite size effects they show. By exploiting at the best the…
We consider the d-dimensional massless free field localized by a delta-pinning of strength e. We study the asymptotics of the variance of the field, and of the decay-rate of its 2-point function, as e goes to zero, for general Gaussian…
4D Einstein gravity coupled to scalars and abelian gauge fields in its 2-Killing vector reduction is shown to be quasi-renormalizable to all loop orders at the expense of introducing infinitely many essential couplings. The latter can be…
We consider the convolution equation $(\delta - J) * G = g$ on $\mathbb R^d$, $d>2$, where $\delta$ is the Dirac delta function and $J,g$ are given functions. We provide conditions on $J, g$ that ensure the deconvolution $G(x)$ to decay as…
The twist free energy is computed in the Villain formulation of the 3D U(1) lattice gauge theory at finite temperature. This enables us to obtain renormalization group equations describing a critical behavior of the model in the vicinity of…
The low-temperature properties of the (2+1)-dimensional quantum XY model are studied within the framework of effective Lagrangians up to three-loop order. At zero temperature, the system is characterized by a spontaneously broken spin…
We derive precise Ornstein-Zernike asymptotic formula for the decay of the two-point function in the general context of finite range Ising type models on Z^d. The proof relies in an essential way on the a-priori knowledge of the strict…
The truncated two-point function of the nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic Ising model on $\mathbb Z^d$ ($d\ge3$) in its pure phases is proven to decays exponentially fast throughout the ordered regime ($T<T_c$). Together with known results,…
We prove $|x|^{-2}$ decay of the critical two-point function for the continuous-time weakly self-avoiding walk on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, in the upper critical dimension $d=4$. This is a statement that the critical exponent $\eta$ exists and is…
Previous heat-capacity measurements of our group had shown the possible existence of an anomalous quantum phase containing the zero-point vacancies (ZPVs) in 2D $^{3}$He. The system is monolayer $^{3}$He adsorbed on graphite preplated with…
We have studied the U(1) gauge field theory with Villain (periodic Gaussian) action on spherelike lattices. The effective size of the systems studied ranges from 6 to 16. We do not observe any 2-state signal in the distribution function of…
The truncated two-point function of the ferromagnetic Ising model on $\mathbb Z^d$ ($d\ge3$) in its pure phases is proven to decay exponentially fast throughout the ordered regime ($\beta>\beta_c$ and $h=0$). Together with the previously…
The Cardy-Rabinovici model is a toy model of the lattice $U(1)$ gauge theories to study various oblique confinement states associated with the nonzero $\theta$ angles. We reformulate the $2$d version of this model using the modified Villain…
