    Some Applications of the Lee-Yang Theorem

    Full text link
    For lattice systems of statistical mechanics satisfying a Lee-Yang property (i.e., for which the Lee-Yang circle theorem holds), we present a simple proof of analyticity of (connected) correlations as functions of an external magnetic field h, for Re h > 0 or Re h < 0. A survey of models known to have the Lee-Yang property is given. We conclude by describing various applications of the aforementioned analyticity in h.Comment: 16 page

    A Virginia native and graduate of Virginia Tech, Peggy H. Lee began her career in restaurant management, but soon switched to school food service. She first worked as a supervisor of twenty-two schools in the Norfolk school system and then became the nutritionist for Virginia Beach Schools. From Virginia Beach she moved to Norfolk as a supervisor and then took the director’s position in Chesapeake. After thirty years of service she retired and now works for the National Dairy Council.https://egrove.olemiss.edu/icn_ohistories/1080/thumbnail.jp

    Yang-Lee Zeros of the Ising model on Random Graphs of Non Planar Topology

    We obtain in a closed form the 1/N^2 contribution to the free energy of the two Hermitian N\times N random matrix model with non symmetric quartic potential. From this result, we calculate numerically the Yang-Lee zeros of the 2D Ising model on dynamical random graphs with the topology of a torus up to n=16 vertices. They are found to be located on the unit circle on the complex fugacity plane. In order to include contributions of even higher topologies we calculated analytically the nonperturbative (sum over all genus) partition function of the model Z_n = \sum_{h=0}^{\infty} \frac{Z_n^{(h)}}{N^{2h}} for the special cases of N=1,2 and graphs with n\le 20 vertices. Once again the Yang-Lee zeros are shown numerically to lie on the unit circle on the complex fugacity plane. Our results thus generalize previous numerical results on random graphs by going beyond the planar approximation and strongly indicate that there might be a generalization of the Lee-Yang circle theorem for dynamical random graphs.Comment: 19 pages, 7 figures ,1 reference and a note added ,To Appear in Nucl.Phys

    Reconfiguring Graph Homomorphisms on the Sphere

    Given a loop-free graph HH, the reconfiguration problem for homomorphisms to HH (also called HH-colourings) asks: given two HH-colourings ff of gg of a graph GG, is it possible to transform ff into gg by a sequence of single-vertex colour changes such that every intermediate mapping is an HH-colouring? This problem is known to be polynomial-time solvable for a wide variety of graphs HH (e.g. all C4C_4-free graphs) but only a handful of hard cases are known. We prove that this problem is PSPACE-complete whenever HH is a K2,3K_{2,3}-free quadrangulation of the 22-sphere (equivalently, the plane) which is not a 44-cycle. From this result, we deduce an analogous statement for non-bipartite K2,3K_{2,3}-free quadrangulations of the projective plane. This include several interesting classes of graphs, such as odd wheels, for which the complexity was known, and 44-chromatic generalized Mycielski graphs, for which it was not. If we instead consider graphs GG and HH with loops on every vertex (i.e. reflexive graphs), then the reconfiguration problem is defined in a similar way except that a vertex can only change its colour to a neighbour of its current colour. In this setting, we use similar ideas to show that the reconfiguration problem for HH-colourings is PSPACE-complete whenever HH is a reflexive K4K_{4}-free triangulation of the 22-sphere which is not a reflexive triangle. This proof applies more generally to reflexive graphs which, roughly speaking, resemble a triangulation locally around a particular vertex. This provides the first graphs for which HH-Recolouring is known to be PSPACE-complete for reflexive instances.Comment: 22 pages, 9 figure

    Location of the Lee-Yang zeros and absence of phase transitions in some Ising spin systems

    Full text link
    We consider a class of Ising spin systems on a set \Lambda of sites. The sites are grouped into units with the property that each site belongs to either one or two units, and the total internal energy of the system is the sum of the energies of the individual units, which in turn depend only on the number of up spins in the unit. We show that under suitable conditions on these interactions none of the |\Lambda| Lee-Yang zeros in the complex z = exp{2\beta h} plane, where \beta is the inverse temperature and h the uniform magnetic field, touch the positive real axis, at least for large values of \beta. In some cases one obtains, in an appropriately taken \beta to infinity limit, a gas of hard objects on a set \Lambda'; the fugacity for the limiting system is a rescaling of z and the Lee-Yang zeros of the new partition function also avoid the positive real axis. For certain forms of the energies of the individual units the Lee-Yang zeros of both the finite- and zero-temperature systems lie on the negative real axis for all \beta. One zero-temperature limit of this type, for example, is a monomer-dimer system; our results thus generalize, to finite \beta, a well-known result of Heilmann and Lieb that the Lee-Yang zeros of monomer-dimer systems are real and negative.Comment: Plain TeX.

    On localization of the Schr\"odinger maximal operator

    Full text link
    In \cite{Lee:2006:schrod-converg}, when the spatial variable xx is localized, Lee observed that the Schr\"odinger maximal operator eitΔf(x)e^{it\Delta}f(x) enjoys certain localization property in tt for frequency localized functions. In this note, we give an alternative proof of this observation by using the method of stationary phase, and then include two applications: the first is on is on the equivalence of the local and the global Schr\"odinger maximal inequalities; secondly the local Schr\"odinger maximal inequality holds for f∈H3/8+f\in H^{3/8+}, which implies that eitΔfe^{it\Delta}f converges to ff almost everywhere if f∈H3/8+f\in H^{3/8+}. These results are not new. In this note we would like to explore them from a slightly different perspective, where the analysis of the stationary phase plays an important role.Comment: 14 pages, no figure. Note
