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.

Abstract Based on the spectrum identified in our earlier work [1], we numerically solve the bootstrap to determine four-point correlation functions of the geometrical connectivities in the Q-state Potts model. Crucial in our approach is the existence of “interchiral conformal blocks”, which arise from the degeneracy of fields with conformal weight hr,1, with r ∈ ℕ*, and are related to the underlying presence of the “interchiral algebra” introduced in [2]. We also find evidence for the existence of “renormalized” recursions, replacing those that follow from the degeneracy of the field $$ {\Phi}_{12}^D $$ Φ 12 D in Liouville theory, and obtain the first few such recursions in closed form. This hints at the possibility of the full analytical determination of correlation functions in this model.

We study the Magnus effect: deflection of the trajectory of a spinning body moving in a gas. It is well known that in rarefied gases, the inverse Magnus effect takes place, which means that the transversal component of the force acting on the body has opposite signs in sparse and relatively dense gases. The existing works derive the inverse effect from non-elastic interaction of gas particles with the body. We propose another (complementary) mechanism of creating the transversal force owing to multiple collisions of particles in cavities of the body surface. We limit ourselves to the two-dimensional case of a rough disc moving through a zero-temperature medium on the plane, where reflections of the particles from the body are elastic and mutual interaction of the particles is neglected. We represent the force acting on the disc and the moment of this force as functionals depending on ‘shape of the roughness’, and determine the set of all admissible forces. The disc trajectory is determined for several simple cases. The study is made by means of billiard theory, Monge–Kantorovich optimal mass transport and by numerical methods.
