Selected non-holonomic functions in lattice statistical mechanics and enumerative combinatorics
We recall that the full susceptibility series of the Ising model, modulo
powers of the prime 2, reduce to algebraic functions. We also recall the
non-linear polynomial differential equation obtained by Tutte for the
generating function of the q-coloured rooted triangulations by vertices, which
is known to have algebraic solutions for all the numbers of the form , the holonomic status of the q= 4 being unclear. We focus on the
analysis of the q= 4 case, showing that the corresponding series is quite
certainly non-holonomic. Along the line of a previous work on the
susceptibility of the Ising model, we consider this q=4 series modulo the first
eight primes 2, 3, ... 19, and show that this (probably non-holonomic) function
reduces, modulo these primes, to algebraic functions. We conjecture that this
probably non-holonomic function reduces to algebraic functions modulo (almost)
every prime, or power of prime numbers. This raises the question to see whether
such remarkable non-holonomic functions can be seen as ratio of diagonals of
rational functions, or algebraic, functions of diagonals of rational functions.Comment: 27 page
The Ising model and Special Geometries
We show that the globally nilpotent G-operators corresponding to the factors
of the linear differential operators annihilating the multifold integrals
of the magnetic susceptibility of the Ising model () are
homomorphic to their adjoint. This property of being self-adjoint up to
operator homomorphisms, is equivalent to the fact that their symmetric square,
or their exterior square, have rational solutions. The differential Galois
groups are in the special orthogonal, or symplectic, groups. This self-adjoint
(up to operator equivalence) property means that the factor operators we
already know to be Derived from Geometry, are special globally nilpotent
operators: they correspond to "Special Geometries".
Beyond the small order factor operators (occurring in the linear differential
operators associated with and ), and, in particular,
those associated with modular forms, we focus on the quite large order-twelve
and order-23 operators. We show that the order-twelve operator has an exterior
square which annihilates a rational solution. Then, its differential Galois
group is in the symplectic group . The order-23 operator
is shown to factorize in an order-two operator and an order-21 operator. The
symmetric square of this order-21 operator has a rational solution. Its
differential Galois group is, thus, in the orthogonal group
.Comment: 33 page
Landau singularities and singularities of holonomic integrals of the Ising class
We consider families of multiple and simple integrals of the ``Ising class''
and the linear ordinary differential equations with polynomial coefficients
they are solutions of. We compare the full set of singularities given by the
roots of the head polynomial of these linear ODE's and the subset of
singularities occurring in the integrals, with the singularities obtained from
the Landau conditions. For these Ising class integrals, we show that the Landau
conditions can be worked out, either to give the singularities of the
corresponding linear differential equation or the singularities occurring in
the integral. The singular behavior of these integrals is obtained in the
self-dual variable , with , where is the
usual Ising model coupling constant. Switching to the variable , we show
that the singularities of the analytic continuation of series expansions of
these integrals actually break the Kramers-Wannier duality. We revisit the
singular behavior (J. Phys. A {\bf 38} (2005) 9439-9474) of the third
contribution to the magnetic susceptibility of Ising model at the
points and show that is not singular at the
corresponding points inside the unit circle , while its analytical
continuation in the variable is actually singular at the corresponding
points oustside the unit circle ().Comment: 34 pages, 1 figur
High order Fuchsian equations for the square lattice Ising model:
This paper deals with , the six-particle contribution to
the magnetic susceptibility of the square lattice Ising model. We have
generated, modulo a prime, series coefficients for . The
length of the series is sufficient to produce the corresponding Fuchsian linear
differential equation (modulo a prime). We obtain the Fuchsian linear
differential equation that annihilates the "depleted" series
. The factorization of the corresponding differential
operator is performed using a method of factorization modulo a prime introduced
in a previous paper. The "depleted" differential operator is shown to have a
structure similar to the corresponding operator for . It
splits into factors of smaller orders, with the left-most factor of order six
being equivalent to the symmetric fifth power of the linear differential
operator corresponding to the elliptic integral . The right-most factor has
a direct sum structure, and using series calculated modulo several primes, all
the factors in the direct sum have been reconstructed in exact arithmetics.Comment: 23 page
Integrable mappings and polynomial growth
We describe birational representations of discrete groups generated by
involutions, having their origin in the theory of exactly solvable
vertex-models in lattice statistical mechanics. These involutions correspond
respectively to two kinds of transformations on matrices: the
inversion of the matrix and an (involutive) permutation of the
entries of the matrix. We concentrate on the case where these permutations are
elementary transpositions of two entries. In this case the birational
transformations fall into six different classes. For each class we analyze the
factorization properties of the iteration of these transformations. These
factorization properties enable to define some canonical homogeneous
polynomials associated with these factorization properties. Some mappings yield
a polynomial growth of the complexity of the iterations. For three classes the
successive iterates, for , actually lie on elliptic curves. This analysis
also provides examples of integrable mappings in arbitrary dimension, even
infinite. Moreover, for two classes, the homogeneous polynomials are shown to
satisfy non trivial non-linear recurrences. The relations between
factorizations of the iterations, the existence of recurrences on one or
several variables, as well as the integrability of the mappings are analyzed.Comment: 45 page
Mise en valeur des minerais de phosphate par flottation
La flottation est une méthode de séparation des solides qui utilise les différences de propriétés des interfaces entre les solides, une solution aqueuse et un gaz généralement l’air. Ce procédé est favorisé par l’introduction de réactifs spécifiques appelés les collecteurs. Dans notre travail, on tient à déterminer les formes d’adsorption des collecteurs sur les surfaces minérales des carbonates (calcite et dolomite) et le quartz en utilisant la spectroscopie IR et la spectrométrie à gamme visible. Les acides gras fractions C10-C16 jouent le rôle de collecteurs anioniques dans la flottation des carbonates alors que le triazine est utilisé comme collecteur cationique pour flotter le quartz. Le concentré de phosphate obtenu pourra être utilisé pour la fabrication de l’acide phosphorique et de superphosphate en qualité d’engrais.Mots-clés : flottation, adsorption, carbonates, collecteurs, quartz, spectrométrieFTI
The importance of the Ising model
Understanding the relationship which integrable (solvable) models, all of
which possess very special symmetry properties, have with the generic
non-integrable models that are used to describe real experiments, which do not
have the symmetry properties, is one of the most fundamental open questions in
both statistical mechanics and quantum field theory. The importance of the
two-dimensional Ising model in a magnetic field is that it is the simplest
system where this relationship may be concretely studied. We here review the
advances made in this study, and concentrate on the magnetic susceptibility
which has revealed an unexpected natural boundary phenomenon. When this is
combined with the Fermionic representations of conformal characters, it is
suggested that the scaling theory, which smoothly connects the lattice with the
correlation length scale, may be incomplete for .Comment: 33 page
The diagonal Ising susceptibility
We use the recently derived form factor expansions of the diagonal two-point
correlation function of the square Ising model to study the susceptibility for
a magnetic field applied only to one diagonal of the lattice, for the isotropic
Ising model.
We exactly evaluate the one and two particle contributions
and of the corresponding susceptibility, and obtain linear
differential equations for the three and four particle contributions, as well
as the five particle contribution , but only modulo a given
prime. We use these exact linear differential equations to show that, not only
the russian-doll structure, but also the direct sum structure on the linear
differential operators for the -particle contributions are
quite directly inherited from the direct sum structure on the form factors .
We show that the particle contributions have their
singularities at roots of unity. These singularities become dense on the unit
circle as .Comment: 18 page
Canonical decomposition of linear differential operators with selected differential Galois groups
We revisit an order-six linear differential operator having a solution which
is a diagonal of a rational function of three variables. Its exterior square
has a rational solution, indicating that it has a selected differential Galois
group, and is actually homomorphic to its adjoint. We obtain the two
corresponding intertwiners giving this homomorphism to the adjoint. We show
that these intertwiners are also homomorphic to their adjoint and have a simple
decomposition, already underlined in a previous paper, in terms of order-two
self-adjoint operators. From these results, we deduce a new form of
decomposition of operators for this selected order-six linear differential
operator in terms of three order-two self-adjoint operators. We then generalize
the previous decomposition to decompositions in terms of an arbitrary number of
self-adjoint operators of the same parity order. This yields an infinite family
of linear differential operators homomorphic to their adjoint, and, thus, with
a selected differential Galois group. We show that the equivalence of such
operators is compatible with these canonical decompositions. The rational
solutions of the symmetric, or exterior, squares of these selected operators
are, noticeably, seen to depend only on the rightmost self-adjoint operator in
the decomposition. These results, and tools, are applied on operators of large
orders. For instance, it is seen that a large set of (quite massive) operators,
associated with reflexive 4-polytopes defining Calabi-Yau 3-folds, obtained
recently by P. Lairez, correspond to a particular form of the decomposition
detailed in this paper.Comment: 40 page
