The partition function and the Gibb's free energy are calculated exactly in the thermodynamic limit, using techniques which are well known in the theory of superconductivity. This calculation illustrates explicitly the similarity between the phase transition in superconductivity and the molecular field transitions in spin systems.

AbstractWe study the connection between the correlation decay property (more precisely, strong spatial mixing) and the zero-freeness of the partition function of 2-spin systems on graphs of bounded degree. We show that for 2-spin systems on an entire family of graphs of a given bounded degree, the contraction property that ensures correlation decay exists for certain real parameters implies the zero-freeness of the partition function and the existence of correlation decay for some corresponding complex neighborhoods. Based on this connection, we are able to extend any real parameter of which the 2-spin system on graphs of bounded degree exhibits correlation decay to its complex neighborhood where the partition function is zero-free and correlation decay still exists. We give new zero-free regions in which the edge interaction parameters and the uniform external field are all complex-valued, and we show the existence of correlation decay for such complex regions. As a consequence, we obtain approximation algorithms for computing the partition function of 2-spin systems on graphs of bounded degree for these complex parameter settings.

I describe work on 3-d Spin Glasses and the 3-d Ising Model done in collaboration with Michael Creutz at BNL and Jan Lacki at IAS Princeton. We have developed novel techniques to study these systems that make use of parallel architectures. For 3-d spin glasses, our results give strong indication that there is no phase transition in the thermodynamic limit whereas for the Ising model, we are able to extend the weak coupling expansion of the average free energy to 50 excited bonds.

A spin system is a framework in which the vertices of a graph are assigned spins from a finite set. The interactions between neighbouring spins give rise to weights, so a spin assignment can also be viewed as a weighted graph homomorphism. The problem of approximating the partition function (the aggregate weight of spin assignments) or of sampling from the resulting probability distribution is typically intractable for general graphs. In this work, we consider arbitrary spin systems on bipartite expander Δ-regular graphs, including the canonical class of bipartite random Δ-regular graphs. We develop fast approximate sampling and counting algorithms for general spin systems whenever the degree and the spectral gap of the graph are sufficiently large. Roughly, this guarantees that the spin system is in the so-called low-temperature regime. Our approach generalises the techniques of Jenssen et al. and Chen et al. by showing that typical configurations on bipartite expanders correspond to “bicliques” of the spin system; then, using suitable polymer models, we show how to sample such configurations and approximate the partition function in Õ( n 2 ) time, where n is the size of the graph.

We determined a small parameter that determines the possibility of using the n-vicinity 06_method to calculate the free energy of a spin system, and found the types of spin systems for which this method is applicable. It is shown that this method is applicable for the analysis of spin systems, where the number of nearest neighbors is greater than 16/3.

An equilibrium statistical mechanics theory for the Hasegawa–Mima equations of toroidal plasmas, with canonical constraint on energy and microcanonical constraint on potential enstrophy, is solved exactly as a spherical model. The use of a canonical energy constraint instead of a fixed-energy microcanonical approach is justified by the preference for viewing real plasmas as an open system. A significant consequence of the results obtained from the partition function, free energy and critical temperature, is the condensation into a ground state exhibiting a blob-hole-like structure observed in real plasmas.

Magnetic and thermal behaviors and the phase transition nature are strongly influenced by grain size in one-dimensional S = 1/2 molecular spin systems.

A general formalism of the relation between geometric phases produced by circularly evolving interacting spin systems and their criticality behaviour is presented. This opens up the way for the use of geometric phases as a tool to probe regions of criticality without having to undergo a quantum phase transition. As a concrete example, a spin-1/2 chain with XY interactions is considered and the corresponding geometric phases are analysed. Finally, a generalization of these results to the case of an arbitrary spin system is presented.

Abstract It has recently been proved that quantum condensation can possibly occur only when the thermodynamic limit is formed with respect to all three space dimensions. Following this idea, it is shown that a rotating system is practically one-dimensional and therefore does not permit quantum condensation. The same is true for a charged system in an external magnetic field. However, an exact proof is given only for a second order phase transition.
