Periodic Striped Ground States in Ising Models with Competing Interactions

We consider Ising models in two and three dimensions, with short range ferromagnetic and long range, power-law decaying, antiferromagnetic interactions. We let J be the ratio between the strength of the ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic interactions. The competition between these two kinds of interactions induces the system to form domains of minus spins in a background of plus spins, or vice versa. If the decay exponent p of the long range interaction is larger than d + 1, with d the space dimension, this happens for all values of J smaller than a critical value J_c(p), beyond which the ground state is homogeneous. In this paper, we give a characterization of the infinite volume ground states of the system, for p > 2d and J in a left neighborhood of J_c(p). In particular, we prove that the quasi-one-dimensional states consisting of infinite stripes (d = 2) or slabs (d = 3), all of the same optimal width and orientation, and alternating magnetization, are infinite volume ground states. Our proof is based on localization bounds combined with reflection positivity.     

Short-Time Dynamics of the Random n-Vector Model

On an Algebraic Property of the Disordered Phase of the Ising Model with Competing Interactions on a Cayley Tree

It is known that the disordered phase of the classical Ising model on the Caley tree is extreme in some region of the temperature. If one considers the Ising model with competing interactions on the same tree, then about the extremity of the disordered phase there is no any information. In the present paper, we first aiming to analyze the correspondence between Gibbs measures and QMC’s on trees. Namely, we establish that states associated with translation invariant Gibbs measures of the model can be seen as diagonal quantum Markov chains on some quasi local algebra. Then as an application of the established correspondence, we study some algebraic property of the disordered phase of the Ising model with competing interactions on the Cayley tree of order two. More exactly, we prove that a state corresponding to the disordered phase is not quasi-equivalent to other states associated with translation invariant Gibbs measures. This result shows how the translation invariant states relate to each other, which is even a new phenomena in the classical setting. To establish the main result we basically employ methods of quantum Markov chains.     

Dynamics of the Random Ising Model with Long-Range Interaction

In dimensions d ＜ 2σ. the dynamic exponent z is calculated to the second order in at the random fixed point.``     

Crossover Critical Behavior in the Three-Dimensional Ising Model

The character of critical behavior in physical systems depends on the range of interactions. In the limit of infinite range of the interactions, systems will exhibit mean-field critical behavior, i.e., critical behavior not affected by fluctuations of the order parameter. If the interaction range is finite, the critical behavior asymptotically close to the critical point is determined by fluctuations and the actual critical behavior depends on the particular universality class. A variety of systems, including fluids and anisotropic ferromagnets, belongs to the three-dimensional Ising universality class. Recent numerical studies of Ising models with different interaction ranges have revealed a spectacular crossover between the asymptotic fluctuation-induced critical behavior and mean-field-type critical behavior. In this work, we compare these numerical results with a crossover Landau model based on renormalization-group matching. For this purpose we consider an application of the crossover Landau model to the three-dimensional Ising model without fitting to any adjustable parameters. The crossover behavior of the critical susceptibility and of the order parameter is analyzed over a broad range (ten orders) of the scaled distance to the critical temperature. The dependence of the coupling constant on the interaction range, governing the crossover critical behavior, is discussed.

Critical Relaxation of a Three-Dimensional Fully Frustrated Ising Model

Critical relaxation from the low-temperature ordered state of the three-dimensional fully frustrated Ising model on a simple cubic lattice is studied by the short-time dynamics method. Cubic systems with periodic boundary conditions and linear sizes of L = 32, 64, 96, and 128 in each crystallographic direction are studied. Calculations were carried out by the Monte Carlo method using the standard Metropolis algorithm. The static critical exponents for the magnetization and correlation radius and the dynamic critical exponents are calculated.

The short-time dynamic process for the two-dimensional Ising model with the nearest-neighbor coupling and the next-nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic coupling in the critical domain is simulated by the Monte Carlo method. From the power law behavior of the initial order increase, the critical points and the initial dynamic exponent θ are determined.     

Censored Glauber Dynamics for the Mean Field Ising Model

We study Glauber dynamics for the Ising model on the complete graph on n vertices, known as the Curie-Weiss Model. It is well known that at high temperature (β<1) the mixing time is Θ(nlog?n), whereas at low temperature (β>1) it is exp?(Θ(n)). Recently, Levin, Luczak and Peres considered a censored version of this dynamics, which is restricted to non-negative magnetization. They proved that for fixed β>1, the mixing-time of this model is Θ(nlog?n), analogous to the high-temperature regime of the original dynamics. Furthermore, they showed cutoff for the original dynamics for fixed β<1. The question whether the censored dynamics also exhibits cutoff remained unsettled.In a companion paper, we extended the results of Levin et al. into a complete characterization of the mixing-time for the Curie-Weiss model. Namely, we found a scaling window of order \(1/\sqrt{n}\) around the critical temperature β _c =1, beyond which there is cutoff at high temperature. However, determining the behavior of the censored dynamics outside this critical window seemed significantly more challenging.In this work we answer the above question in the affirmative, and establish the cutoff point and its window for the censored dynamics beyond the critical window, thus completing its analogy to the original dynamics at high temperature. Namely, if β=1+δ for some δ>0 with δ ² n→∞, then the mixing-time has order (n/δ)log?(δ ² n). The cutoff constant is (1/2+[2(ζ² β/δ?1)]^?1), where ζ is the unique positive root of g(x)=tanh?(β x)?x, and the cutoff window has order n/δ.     

Damage Spreading in the Ising Model with a Special Metropolis Dynamics Approach

The time evolution of the Hamming distance (damage spreading) for the S=1/2 and S=1 Ising models on the square lattice is performed with a special metropolis dynamics algorithm. Two distinct regimes are observed according to the temperature range for both models: a low-temperature one where the distance in the long-time limit is finite and seems not to depend on the initial distance and the system size; a high-temperature one where the distance vanishes in the long-time limit. Using the finite size scaling method, the dynamical phase transition (damage spreading transition) temperature is obtained as T_c≌1.675±0.025 for the S=1 Ising model.

Upper bounds for the critical temperature of Ising models with different types of four-spin interactions on honeycomb and square lattices, which act only between the nearest-neighbor sites or to the nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor sites in addition to the conventional pair interactions, are obtained, using an exact relation for the two-spin correlation functions and rigorous inequalities for the spin correlation functions.
