By using real space renormalisation group (RG) methods we show that spin-glasses in a field display a new kind of transition in high dimensions. The corresponding critical properties and the spin-glass phase are governed by two…
Spin glass dynamics is a strong function of spatial dimensionality $D$. The lower critical dimension is close to 2.5, so that, in two dimensions, the condensation temperature $T_\text{g}=0$, and only fluctuations are present at finite…
Recent studies on the spin and the chirality orderings of the three-dimensional Heisenberg spin glass and related systems are reviewed with particular emphasis on the possible spin-chirality decoupling phenomena. Chirality scenario of real…
We describe two dimensional models with a metallic Fermi surface which display quantum phase transitions controlled by strongly interacting critical field theories below their upper critical dimension. The primary examples involve…
We show that several distinct broken-symmetry phases in a spin-1/2 anti-ferromagnet on a square lattice with easy-plane anisotropy, including valence bond solid, chiral spin liquid, and the XY-ordered state, can all be accessed by…
In talk I will review the theoretical results that have been obtained for spin glasses, paying a particular attention to finite dimensional spin glasses. I will concentrate my attention on the formulation of the mean field approach and on…
We present selfdual manifolds for coupled Potts models on the triangular lattice. We exploit two different techniques: duality followed by decimation, and mapping to a related loop model. The latter technique is found to be superior, and it…
Criteria for experimental observation of multi-dimensional optical solitons in media with saturable refractive nonlinearities are developed. The criteria are applied to actual material parameters (characterizing the cubic self-focusing and…
These notes give examples of how suitably defined geometrical objects encode in their fractal structure thermal critical behavior. The emphasis is on the two-dimensional Potts model for which two types of spin clusters can be defined.…
We give an overview of numerical and experimental estimates of critical exponents in Spin Glasses. We find that the evidence for a breakdown of universality of exponents in these systems is very strong.
Consider a quadratic rational self-map of the Riemann sphere such that one critical point is periodic of period 2, and the other critical point lies on the boundary of its immediate basin of attraction. We will give explicit topological…
We present numerical simulations of the 4D Edwards Anderson Ising spin glass with binary couplings. Our results, in the midst of strong finite size effects, suggest the existence of a spin glass phase transition. We present a preliminar…
Two-phase flow in porous media is a ubiquitous phenomenon that has been studied for well over a century. However, we still lack a successful theory that predicts flow on a macroscopic length scale (the so-called Darcy scale) on the basis of…
This paper is divided into two parts. The first part concerns several standard scenarios for how short-range spin glasses might behave at low temperature. Earlier theorems of the authors are reviewed, and some new results presented,…
We obtain precise plateau estimates for the two-point function of the finite-volume weakly-coupled hierarchical $|\varphi|^4$ model in dimensions $d \ge 4$, for both free and periodic boundary conditions, and for any number $n \ge 1$ of…
The very existence of a phase transition for spin glasses in an external magnetic field is controversial, even in high dimensions. We carry out massive simulations of the Ising spin-glass in a field, in six dimensions (which, according to…
We investigate the mixed-spin Blume-Capel model with spin-1/2 and spin-$S$ ($S=1$, $2$, and $3$) on the simple cubic and body-centered cubic lattices with single-ion-splitting crystal-field ($\Delta$) by using the Metropolis and the…
A spin-1/2 chain model that includes three spin interactions can effectively describe the dynamics of two species of bosons trapped in an optical lattice with a triangular-ladder configuration. A perturbative theoretical approach and…
Starting from a Cluster Variational Method, and inspired by the correctness of the paramagnetic Ansatz (at high temperatures in general, and at any temperature in the 2D Edwards-Anderson model) we propose a novel message passing algorithm…
The two point functions, which give the probability that the spins turn down at the boundaries, are studied for the six vertex model on a $2N \times N$ lattice with domain wall boundary condition and left reflecting end. We consider two…
