Glauber Dynamics for the mean-field Potts Model
We study Glauber dynamics for the mean-field (Curie-Weiss) Potts model with
states and show that it undergoes a critical slowdown at an
inverse-temperature strictly lower than the critical
for uniqueness of the thermodynamic limit. The dynamical critical
is the spinodal point marking the onset of metastability.
We prove that when the mixing time is asymptotically
and the dynamics exhibits the cutoff phenomena, a sharp
transition in mixing, with a window of order . At the
dynamics no longer exhibits cutoff and its mixing obeys a power-law of order
. For the mixing time is exponentially large in
. Furthermore, as with , the mixing time
interpolates smoothly from subcritical to critical behavior, with the latter
reached at a scaling window of around . These results
form the first complete analysis of mixing around the critical dynamical
temperature --- including the critical power law --- for a model with a first
order phase transition.Comment: 45 pages, 5 figure

Crustacea decapoda da praia rochosa da Ilha do Farol, Matinhos, Paraná. I: distribuição temporal de densidade das populações
Estrutura populacional de Petrolisthes armatus (Gibbes) (Decapoda, Anomura, Porcellanidae) da Ilha do Farol, Matinhos, Paraná, Brasil Population structure of Petrolisthes armatus (Gibbes) (Decapoda, Anomura, Porcellanidae) from Farol Isle, Matinhos, Paraná, Brazil
<abstract language="eng">Population structure of the porcelain crab Petrolisthes armatus (Gibbes, 1850) from the rocky shore of the Farol isle (25º51'S, 48º32'W) was carried out in the following aspects: annual fluctuation of the density, distribution of the developmental stages and sexes over year round, size composition and recruiting period of juveniles into the population. Monthly collections were made in the three sites of the midlittoral, from November/89 to April/91, with the aid of a trap. The air temperature ranged from 13ºC to 28ºC, that of the surface water from 16ºC lo 29ºC and the salinity of the surface water from 06.7‰ to 31.5‰. A total of 5.585 individuals of Petrolisthes armatus was collected, among which, 116 were in the megalopa stage, 1,579 juveniles, 830 immature males, 729 immature females, 1,161 mature males, 744 mature females and 426 ovigerous females. The population density ranged from 15.3 to 305.0 ind.m-2, with a peak in January. This density is the highest among the porcelain crab populations known from the literature. The species has continuous reproduction, but, there were two main cohorts in the year: summer one that was longer and more abundant and the winter one that was shorter and the less numerous
