We study the -symmetric model with the nearest neighbour interaction between molecular dipole of five spin directions i.e. Q=5 which called as the -symmetric model on a triangular lattice. We investigate the zeros of partition function and the relationship to the phase transition. Initially, the model is defined on a triangular lattice graph with the nearest neighbour interaction. The partition function is then computed using a transfer matrix approach. We analyse the system by computing the zeros of the polynomial partition function using the Newton-Raphson method and then plot the zeros in a complex plane. For this lattice, the result shows that for specific type of energy level there are multiple line curves approaching real axis in the complex plane. The equation of the specific heat is produced and then plotted for comparison. Motivated from the work by Martin (1991) on models on square lattice, we extend the previous study to different lattice type that is triangular lattice.

In this paper, the Wheeler–DeWitt equation in full superspace formalism will be written in a matrix-valued first-order formalism. We will also analyze the Wheeler–DeWitt equation in minisuperspace approximation using this matrix-valued first-order formalism. We will note that this Wheeler–DeWitt equation, in this minisuperspace approximation, can be expressed as an eigenvalue equation. We will use this fact to analyze the spacetime foam in this formalism. This will be done by constructing a statistical mechanical partition function for the Wheeler–DeWitt equation in this matrix-valued first-order formalism. This will lead to a possible solution for the cosmological constant problem.

We used a Monte Carlo simulation of the structurally disordered three dimensional Ising model. For the systems with spin concentrations p = 0.95 ,0.8, 0.6 and 0.5 we calculated the correlation-length critical exponent ν by finite-size scaling. Extrapolations to the thermodynamic limit yield ν(0.95) = 0.705(5) ,ν(0.8) = 0.711(6),ν(0.6) = 0.736(6) and ν(0.5) = 0.744(6). These results are compatible with some previous estimates from a variety of sources. The analysis of the results demonstrates the nonuniversality of the critical behavior in the disordered Ising model.

Abstract We derive explicit expressions for a specific subclass of Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity bilocal correlators, corresponding to degenerate Virasoro representations. On the disk, these degenerate correlators are structurally simple, and they allow us to shed light on the 1/C Schwarzian bilocal perturbation series. In particular, we prove that the series is asymptotic for generic weight h ∉ −ℕ/2. Inspired by its minimal string ancestor, we propose an expression for higher genus corrections to the degenerate correlators. We discuss the extension to the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 super JT model. On the disk, we similarly derive properties of the 1/C super-Schwarzian perturbation series, which we independently develop as well. As a byproduct, it is shown that JT supergravity saturates the chaos bound λL = 2π/β at first order in 1/C. We develop the fixed-length amplitudes of Liouville supergravity at the level of the disk partition function, the bulk one-point function and the boundary two-point functions. In particular we compute the minimal superstring fixed length boundary two-point functions, which limit to the super JT degenerate correlators. We give some comments on higher topology at the end.
