On the finite-size behavior of systems with asymptotically large critical shift
Exact results of the finite-size behavior of the susceptibility in
three-dimensional mean spherical model films under Dirichlet-Dirichlet,
Dirichlet-Neumann and Neumann-Neumann boundary conditions are presented. The
corresponding scaling functions are explicitly derived and their asymptotics
close to, above and below the bulk critical temperature are obtained. The
results can be incorporated in the framework of the finite-size scaling theory
where the exponent characterizing the shift of the finite-size
critical temperature with respect to is smaller than , with
being the critical exponent of the bulk correlation length.Comment: 24 pages, late
On the Finite-Temperature Generalization of the C-theorem and the Interplay between Classical and Quantum Fluctuations
The behavior of the finite-temperature C-function, defined by Neto and
Fradkin [Nucl. Phys. B {\bf 400}, 525 (1993)], is analyzed within a d
-dimensional exactly solvable lattice model, recently proposed by Vojta [Phys.
Rev. B {\bf 53}, 710 (1996)], which is of the same universality class as the
quantum nonlinear O(n) sigma model in the limit . The scaling
functions of C for the cases d=1 (absence of long-range order), d=2 (existence
of a quantum critical point), d=4 (existence of a line of finite temperature
critical points that ends up with a quantum critical point) are derived and
analyzed. The locations of regions where C is monotonically increasing (which
depend significantly on d) are exactly determined. The results are interpreted
within the finite-size scaling theory that has to be modified for d=4.

Exact Three Dimensional Casimir Force Amplitude, -function and Binder's Cumulant Ratio: Spherical Model Results
The three dimensional mean spherical model on a hypercubic lattice with a
film geometry under periodic boundary conditions is
considered in the presence of an external magnetic field . The universal
Casimir amplitude and the Binder's cumulant ratio are calculated
exactly and found to be and
A discussion on the relations
between the finite temperature -function, usually defined for quantum
systems, and the excess free energy (due to the finite-size contributions to
the free energy of the system) scaling function is presented. It is
demonstrated that the -function of the model equals 4/5 at the bulk critical
temperature . It is analytically shown that the excess free energy is a
monotonically increasing function of the temperature and of the magnetic
field in the vicinity of This property is supposed to hold for any
classical -dimensional model with a film geometry under periodic
boundary conditions when . An analytical evidence is also presented to
confirm that the Casimir force in the system is negative both below and in the
vicinity of the bulk critical temperature Comment: 12 pages revtex, one eps figure, submitted to Phys. Rev E A set of

BLOOM: A 176B-Parameter Open-Access Multilingual Language Model
Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be able to perform new tasks
based on a few demonstrations or natural language instructions. While these
capabilities have led to widespread adoption, most LLMs are developed by
resource-rich organizations and are frequently kept from the public. As a step
towards democratizing this powerful technology, we present BLOOM, a
176B-parameter open-access language model designed and built thanks to a
collaboration of hundreds of researchers. BLOOM is a decoder-only Transformer
language model that was trained on the ROOTS corpus, a dataset comprising
hundreds of sources in 46 natural and 13 programming languages (59 in total).
We find that BLOOM achieves competitive performance on a wide variety of
benchmarks, with stronger results after undergoing multitask prompted
finetuning. To facilitate future research and applications using LLMs, we
publicly release our models and code under the Responsible AI License
Theory of critical phenomena in finite-size systems: scaling and quantum effects
The aim of this book is to familiarise the reader with the rich collection of ideas, methods and results available in the theory of critical phenomena in systems with confined geometry. The existence of universal features of the finite-size effects arising due to highly correlated classical or quantum fluctuations is explained by the finite-size scaling theory. This theory (1) offers an interpretation of experimental results on finite-size effects in real systems; (2) gives the most reliable tool for extrapolation to the thermodynamic limit of data obtained by computer simulations; (3) reveal
