We investigate zero-temperature dynamics for a homogeneous ferromagnetic Ising model on the homogeneous tree of degree three (𝕋) with random (i.i.d. Bernoulli) spin configuration at time 0. Letting θ denote the probability that any particular vertex has a +1 initial spin, for infinite spin clusters do not exist at time 0 but we show that infinite ‘spin chains’ (doubly infinite paths of vertices with a common spin) exist in abundance at any time ϵ > 0. We study the structure of the subgraph of 𝕋 generated by the vertices in time-ϵ spin chains. We show the existence of a phase transition in the sense that, for some critical θ c with spin chains almost surely never form for θ < θc but almost surely do form in finite time for θ > θc . We relate these results to certain quantities of physical interest, such as the t → ∞ asymptotics of the probability that any particular vertex changes spin after time t.

The zero-temperature Glauber dynamics is used to investigate the persistence probability P(t) in the Potts model with Q = 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, 24, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 4096, 16 384, …, 230 states on directed and undirected Barabási–Albert networks and Erdös–Rényi (ER) random graphs. In this model, it is found that P(t) decays exponentially to zero in short times for directed and undirected ER random graphs. For directed and undirected BA networks, in contrast it decays exponentially to a constant value for long times, i.e., P(∞) is different from zero for all Q values (here studied) from Q = 3, 4, 5, …, 230; this shows "blocking" for all these Q values. Except that for Q = 230 in the undirected case P(t) tends exponentially to zero; this could be just a finite-size effect since in the other "blocking" cases you may have only a few unchanged spins.

A zero-temperature phase-diagram of the one-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model is investigated. It is shown that at zero temperature spins of any compact collection of lattice points with identically oriented external field are identically oriented.
