It has been suggested that an information geometric view of statistical mechanics in which a metric is introduced onto the space of parameters provides an interesting alternative characterisation of the phase structure, particularly in the…

Although the notion of entropy lies at the core of statistical mechanics, it is not often used in statistical mechanical models to characterize phase transitions, a role more usually played by quantities such as various order parameters,…

Motivated by previous observations that geometrizing statistical mechanics offers an interesting alternative to more standard approaches,we have recently calculated the curvature (the fundamental object in this approach) of the information…

In the Ising model on the simple cubic lattice, we describe the inverse temperature $\beta$ and other quantities relevant for the computation of critical quantities in terms of a dimensionless squared mass $M$. The critical behaviors of…

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…

We have found a simple criterion which allows for the straightforward determination of the order-disorder critical temperatures. The method reproduces exactly results known for the two dimensional Ising, Potts and $Z(N<5)$ models. It also…

We derived the thermodynamic curvature of the Ising model on a kagome lattice under the presence of an external magnetic field. The curvature was found to have a singularity at the critical point. We focused on the zero field case to derive…

The introduction of a metric onto the space of parameters in models in Statistical Mechanics and beyond gives an alternative perspective on their phase structure. In such a geometrization, the scalar curvature, R, plays a central role. A…

We analyze the critical behaviour of the three-dimensional, three-state Potts model in the presence of an external ordering field. From a finite size scaling analysis on lattices of size up to 70**3 we determine the critical endpoint of the…

We consider the problem of estimating inverse temperature parameter $\beta$ of an $n$-dimensional truncated Ising model using a single sample. Given a graph $G = (V,E)$ with $n$ vertices, a truncated Ising model is a probability…

A metric is introduced on the two dimensional space of parameters describing the Ising model on a Bethe lattice of co-ordination number q. The geometry associated with this metric is analysed and it is shown that the Gaussian curvature…

Critical phenomena theory centers on the scaled thermodynamic potential per spin $\phi(\beta, h)=|t|^{p}Y(h|t|^{-q})$, with inverse temperature $\beta=1/T$, $h=-\beta H$, ordering field $H$, reduced temperature $t=t(\beta)$, critical…

The interface between the plus and minus phases in the low temperature 3D Ising model has been intensely studied since Dobrushin's pioneering works in the early 1970's established its rigidity. Advances in the last decade yielded the…

The critical behavior at a corner in two-dimensional Ising and three-state Potts models is studied numerically on the square lattice using transfer operator techniques. The local critical exponents for the magnetization and the energy…

Enormous advances have been made in the past 20 years in our understanding of the random-field Ising model, and there is now consensus on many aspects of its behavior at least in thermal equilibrium. In contrast, little is known about its…

The transverse-field Ising model is widely studied as one of the simplest quantum spin systems. It is known that this model exhibits a phase transition at the critical inverse temperature $\beta_{\mathrm{c}}$, which is determined by the…

The finite lattice method of series expansion is generalised to the $q$-state Potts model on the simple cubic lattice. It is found that the computational effort grows exponentially with the square of the number of series terms obtained,…

The effect of quenched impurities on systems which undergo first-order phase transitions is studied within the framework of the q-state Potts model. For large q a mapping to the random field Ising model is introduced which provides a simple…

In honor of Onsager's ninetieth birthday, we like to review some exact results obtained so far in the chiral Potts models and to translate these results into language more transparent to physicists, so that experts in Monte Carlo…

Finite-size effects in the mean-field Ising spin glass and the mean-field three-state Potts glass are investigated by Monte Carlo simulations. In the thermodynamic limit, each model is known to exhibit a continuous phase transition into the…
