The edge of a quantum critical system can exhibit multiple distinct types of boundary criticality. We use a numerical real-space renormalization group (RSRG) to study the boundary criticality of a 2d quantum Ising model with random exchange…
We study the critical two-dimensional Ising model with a defect line (altered bond strength along a line) in the continuum limit. By folding the system at the defect line, the problem is mapped to a special case of the critical…
We consider m two-dimensional semi-infinite planes of Ising spins joined together through surface spins and study the critical behaviour near to the junction. The m=0 limit of the model - according to the replica trick - corresponds to the…
This paper addresses the well posedness of a dynamical model of perfect plasticity with mixed boundary conditions for general closed and convex elasticity sets. The proof relies on an asymptotic analysis of the solution of a perfect…
Duality transformation, which relates a high-temperature phase to a low-temperature one, is used exactly to determine the critical point for several models (2D Ising, Potts, Ashkin-Teller, 8-vertex), as the self dual condition. By changing…
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…
Finite size effect in critical systems can be interpreted as universal Casimir forces. Here we compare the Casimir force for free, periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions in the exactly calculable case of the Ising model in one and…
The finite size scaling behaviour for the Ising model in five dimensions, with either free or cyclic boundary, has been the subject for a long running debate. The older papers have been based on ideas from e.g. field theory or…
Critical systems are described by conformal field theories, whose dynamics can be exactly solved in two dimensions. In the presence of a boundary, with the so-called method of images it is possible to study the surface critical behaviour of…
Critical and compensation properties of a mixed spin-1 and spin-3/2 Ising ferrimagnet on a square lattice are investigated by standard and histogram Monte Carlo simulations. The critical temperature is studied as a function of a single-ion…
We study the critical Ising model with free boundary conditions on finite domains in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with $d\geq4$. Under the assumption, so far only proved completely for high $d$, that the critical infinite volume two-point function is of…
The critical 2-dimensional Ising model is studied with four types boundary conditions: free, fixed ferromagnetic, fixed antiferromagnetic, fixed double antiferromagnetic. Using Bond Propagation algorithms with surface fields, we obtained…
This is an introduction to conformal invariance and two-dimensional critical phenomena for graduate students and condensed-matter physicists. After explaining the algebraic foundations of conformal invariance, numerical methods and their…
Recent years witnessed an extensive development of the theory of the critical point in two-dimensional statistical systems, which allowed to prove {\it existence} and {\it conformal invariance} of the {\it scaling limit} for two-dimensional…
We prove convergence results for variants of Smirnov's fermionic observable in the critical Ising model in presence of free boundary conditions. One application of our analysis is a simple proof of a theorem by Hongler and Kyt\"ol\"a on…
An analysis of the critical behavior of the three-dimensional Ising model using the coherent-anomaly method (CAM) is presented. Various sources of errors in CAM estimates of critical exponents are discussed, and an improved scheme for the…
We present a high precision Monte Carlo study of the finite temperature $Z_2$ gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions. The duality with the 3D Ising spin model allows us to use powerful cluster algorithms for the simulations. For temporal extensions…
We study the interfaces arising in the two-dimensional Ising model at critical temperature, without magnetic field. We show that in the presence of free boundary conditions between plus and minus spins, the scaling limit of these interfaces…
The Ising quantum chain with a peculiar twisted boundary condition is considered. This boundary condition, first introduced in the framework of the spin-1/2 XXZ Heisenberg quantum chain, is related to the duality transformation, which…
The infinite-volume limit behavior of the 2d Ising model under possibly strong random boundary conditions is studied. The model exhibits chaotic size-dependence at low temperatures and we prove that the `+' and `-' phases are the only…
