We present an algorithm, based on the iteration of conformal maps, that produces independent samples of self-avoiding paths in the plane. It is a discrete process approximating radial Schramm-Loewner evolution growing to infinity. We focus…
We compute the probability of positive large deviations of the free energy per spin in mean-field Spin-Glass models. The probability vanishes in the thermodynamic limit as $P(\Delta f) \propto \exp[-N^2 L_2(\Delta f)]$. For the…
We study the effective field theory of 2D fermions with a short-range interaction in the presence of a van Hove singularity. We find that there are additional divergences associated with the singularity that necessitate regularization…
Self-avoiding polymers in two-dimensional ($d=2$) melts are known to adopt compact configurations of typical size $R(N) \sim N^{1/d}$ with $N$ being the chain length. Using molecular dynamics simulations we show that the irregular shapes of…
We consider the random walk of a particle in a two-dimensional self-affine random potential of Hurst exponent $H=1/2$ in the presence of an external force $F$. We present numerical results on the statistics of first-passage times that…
In this paper we study the shape characteristics of a polymer chain in a good solvent using a mesoscopic level of modelling. The dissipative particle dynamics simulations are performed in the $3D$ space at a range of chain lengths $N$. The…
We study self-avoiding walks on the four-dimensional hypercubic lattice via Monte Carlo simulations of walks with up to one billion steps. We study the expected logarithmic corrections to scaling, and find convincing evidence in support the…
The effect of antiferromagnetic interchain coupling in alternating spin (1,1/2) chains is studied by mean of spin wave theory and density matrix renormalization group(DMRG). Two limiting cases are investigated, the two-leg ladder and its…
We study XY and dimerized XX spin-1/2 chains with random exchange couplings by analytical and numerical methods and scaling considerations. We extend previous investigations to dynamical properties, to surface quantities and operator…
We consider nearest-neighbor self-avoiding walk, bond percolation, lattice trees, and bond lattice animals on ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$. The two-point functions of these models are respectively the generating function for self-avoiding walks from…
We use methods of random matrix theory to analyze the cross-correlation matrix C of price changes of the largest 1000 US stocks for the 2-year period 1994-95. We find that the statistics of most of the eigenvalues in the spectrum of C agree…
In three-dimensional systems of the Ising universality class the ratio of correlation length amplitudes for the high- and low-temperature phases is a universal quantity. Its field theoretic determination apart from the $\epsilon$-expansion…
We consider the two-dimensional self-avoiding walk (SAW) in a simply connected domain that contains the origin. The SAW starts at the origin and ends somewhere on the boundary. The distribution of the endpoint along the boundary is expected…
The distance scale for a quantum field theory is the correlation length $\xi$, which diverges with exponent $\nu$ as the bare mass approaches a critical value. If $t=m^{2}-m_{c}^{2}$, then $\xi=m_{P}^{-1} \sim t^{-\nu}$ as $t \to 0$. The…
We study the polygons governing the convex hull of a point set created by the steps of $n$ independent two-dimensional random walkers. Each such walk consists of $T$ discrete time steps, where $x$ and $y$ increments are i.i.d. Gaussian. We…
We complete the determination of the universal amplitude ratios of two-dimensional percolation within the two-kink approximation of the form factor approach. For the cluster size ratio, which has for a long time been elusive both…
We consider the $n$-component $|\varphi|^4$ lattice spin model ($n \ge 1$) and the weakly self-avoiding walk ($n=0$) on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, in dimensions $d=1,2,3$. We study long-range models based on the fractional Laplacian, with spin-spin…
We propose a new class of universal amplitude ratios which involve the first terms of the short distance expansion of the correlators of a statistical model in the vicinity of a critical point. We will describe the critical system with a…
We study the random walk representation of the two-point function in statistical mechanics models near the critical point. Using standard scaling arguments we show that the critical exponent $\nu$ describing the vanishing of the physical…
We consider the biased random walk on a tree constructed from the set of finite self-avoiding walks on a lattice, and use it to construct probability measures on infinite self-avoiding walks. The limit measure (if it exists) obtained when…
