The $i$-dimensional plaquette random-cluster model on a finite cubical complex is the random complex of $i$-plaquettes with each configuration having probability proportional to $$p^{\text{# of plaquettes}}(1-p)^{\text{# of complementary…
After fifty years of lattice gauge theories (LGTs), the nature of the transition between their topological phases (confinement/deconfinement) remains challenging due to the absence of a local order parameter. In this work, we conduct a…
We prove that random-cluster models with q larger than 1 on a variety of planar lattices have a sharp phase transition, that is that there exists some parameter p_c below which the model exhibits exponential decay and above which there…
Phase transitions are a central theme of statistical mechanics, and of probability more generally. Lattice spin models represent a general paradigm for phase transitions in finite dimensions, describing ferromagnets and even some fluids…
We prove an inequality on decision trees on monotonic measures which generalizes the OSSS inequality on product spaces. As an application, we use this inequality to prove a number of new results on lattice spin models and their…
We study the three dimensional fundamental-adjoint $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory at non-zero temperatures by Monte Carlo simulations. On an $8^3 \times 2$ lattice, at $\beta_A = 1.1$, where $\beta_A$ is the adjoint coupling, we find no…
We study the confining and deconfining phases of pure $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ lattice gauge theory with topological data analysis. This provides unique insights into long range correlations of field configurations across the…
The properties of the pure-site clusters of spin models, i.e. the clusters which are obtained by joining nearest-neighbour spins of the same sign, are here investigated. In the Ising model in two dimensions it is known that such clusters…
We prove that the $q$-state Potts model and the random-cluster model with cluster weight $q>4$ undergo a discontinuous phase transition on the square lattice. More precisely, we show - Existence of multiple infinite-volume measures for the…
Cluster percolation and second order thermal phase transitions show an amazing number of common features: power laws of the variables at criticality, scaling relations of the critical exponents and universality of the critical indices.…
A two-dimensional model of interacting plaquettes is studied by means of the real space renormalization group approach. Interactions between the plaquettes are mediated solely by spin excitations on the plaquettes. Depending on the…
Three-dimensional bond or site percolation theory on a lattice can be interpreted as a gauge theory in which the Wilson loops are viewed as counters of topological linking with random clusters. Beyond the percolation threshold large Wilson…
Using the finite size scaling theory, we re-examine the nature of the bulk phase transition in the fundamental-adjoint coupling plane of the SU(2) lattice gauge theory at $\beta_A = 1.25$ where previous finite size scaling investigations of…
We develop a fluctuation theory of connectivities for subcritical random cluster models. The theory is based on a comprehensive nonperturbative probabilistic description of long connected clusters in terms of essentially one-dimensional…
Starting from Wilson's action, we calculate strong coupling series for the Polyakov loop susceptibility in lattice gauge theories for various small N_\tau in the thermodynamic limit. Analysing the series with Pad\'e approximants, we…
We generalize the standard site percolation model on the $d$-dimensional lattice to a model on random tessellations of $\mathbb R^d$. We prove the uniqueness of the infinite cluster by adapting the Burton-Keane argument…
Phase transition in the two-dimensional $q$-state Potts model with random ferromagnetic couplings in the large-q limit is conjectured to be described by the isotropic version of the infinite randomness fixed point of the random…
The phase diagram of SO(3) lattice gauge theory is investigated by Monte Carlo techniques on both symmetric and asymmetric lattices with a view (i) to understanding the relationship between the bulk transition and the deconfinement…
The couplings between the Ising model and its graphical representations, the random-cluster, random current and loop $\mathrm{O}(1)$ models, are put on common footing through a generalization of the Swendsen-Wang-Edwards-Sokal coupling. A…
We study the phase transition in the abelian lattice gauge theory using the Wilson-Polyakov line as the order parameter. The Wilson-Polyakov line remains very small at strong coupling and becomes non-zero at weak coupling, signalling a…
