Geometry, thermodynamics, and finite-size corrections in the critical Potts model

We establish an intriguing connection between geometry and thermodynamics in the critical q-state Potts model on two-dimensional lattices, using the q-state bond-correlated percolation model (QBCPM) representation. We find that the number of clusters of the QBCPM has an energy-like singularity for q different from 1, which is reached and supported by exact results, numerical simulation, and scaling arguments. We also establish that the finite-size correction to the number of bonds, has no constant term and explains the divergence of related quantities as q --> 4, the multicritical point. Similar analyses are applicable to a variety of other systems.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figure

Auditing Interval-based Inference

In this paper we study the feasibility of auditing inteval - based inference. Sensitive information about individuals is said to be compromised if an accurate enough interval, called inference inteval, is obtained into which the value of the sensitive information must fall

Cardinality-based Inference Control in Sum-only Data Cubes
