We study the stability of the critical points of the Onsager energy functional with Maier-Saupe interaction potential in general dimensions. We show that the stable critical points must be axisymmetric, which solves a problem proposed by…

We investigate critical points of the Onsager free-energy model on a sphere with different potential kernels, including the dipolar potential, the Maier-Saupe potential, the coupled dipolar/Maier-Saupe potential, and the Onsager potential.…

On the two dimensional sphere, we consider axisymmetric critical points of an isoperimetric problem perturbed by a long-range interaction term. When the parameter controlling the nonlocal term is sufficiently large, we prove the existence…

We study the bifurcation diagram of the Onsager free-energy func- tional for liquid crystals with orientation parameter on the sphere in three dimensions. In particular, we concentrate on a very general class of two- body interaction…

Spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model with XYZ Heisenberg pair interaction and two different Ising quartic interactions is exactly solved with the help of the generalized star-square transformation, which establishes a precise mapping equivalence…

We revisit critical phenomena in isotropic ferromagnets with strong dipolar interactions. The corresponding RG fixed point - dipolar fixed point - was first studied in 1973 by Aharony and Fisher. It is distinct from the Heisenberg fixed…

We show that near any given minimizing sequence of paths for the mountain pass lemma, there exists a critical point whose polarization is also a critical point. This is motivated by the fact that if any polarization of a critical point is…

Critical points of an invariant function may or may not be symmetric. We prove, however, that if a symmetric critical point exists, those adjacent to it are generically symmetry breaking. This mathematical mechanism is shown to carry…

Let $(\Sigma, g_1)$ be a compact Riemann surface with conical singularites of angles in $(0, 2\pi)$, and $f: \Sigma\to\mathbb R$ be a positive smooth function. In this paper, by establishing a sharp quantization result, we prove the…

We study the correlation between the total number of critical points of random spherical harmonics and the number of critical points with value in any interval $I \subset \mathbb{R}$. We show that the correlation is asymptotically zero,…

According to the Onsager principle a matrix of kinetic coefficients is symmetric in a system not violating time inversion symmetry. The antisymmetry is possible in systems with broken time inversion symmetry f.i. in systems in external…

The mixed spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 Ising model on the extended Kagom\'e lattice is solved by establishing a mapping correspondence with the eight-vertex model. Letting the parameter of uniaxial single-ion anisotropy tend to infinity, the model…

The spatial suppression of order parameter fluctuations in a critical media produces Critical Casimir forces acting on confining surfaces. This scenario is realized in a critical binary mixture near the demixing transition point that…

We prove a sharp Onofri-type inequality and non-existence of extremals for a Moser-Tudinger functional on the sphere in the presence of potentials having positive order singularities. We also investigate the existence of critical points and…

For essentially bounded functions on a (closed) compact Riemannian manifold, the noncommutative residue and the Dixmier trace formulation of the noncommutative integral are shown to equate to a multiple of the Lebesgue integral. The…

The spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model with the pair XYZ Heisenberg interaction and quartic Ising interactions is exactly solved by establishing a precise mapping relationship with the corresponding zero-field (symmetric) eight-vertex model.…

The Ashkin-Teller (AT) model is a generalization of Ising 2-d to a four states spin model; it can be written in the form of two Ising layers (in general with different couplings) interacting via a four-spin interaction. It was conjectured…

We discuss the expansion of interaction kernels between anisotropic rigid molecules. The expansion decouples the correlated orientational variables so that it can be utilized to derive macroscopic models. Symmetries of two types are…

Using an estimate on the number of critical points for a Morse-even function on the sphere $\mathbb S^m$, $m\ge1$, we prove a multiplicity result for orthogonal geodesic chords in Riemannian manifolds with boundary that are diffeomorphic to…

We consider smooth linear statistics of determinantal point processes on the complex plane, and their large scale asymptotics. We prove asymptotic normality in the finite variance case, where Soshnikov's theorem is not applicable. The…
