On three-dimensional topological field theories constructed from for finite group
We investigate the 3d lattice topological field theories defined by Chung,
Fukuma and Shapere. We concentrate on the model defined by taking a deformation
\D{G} of the quantum double of a finite commutative group as the
underlying Hopf algebra. It is suggested that Chung-Fukuma-Shapere partition
function is related to that of Dijkgraaf-Witten by \zcfs = |\zdw|^2 when
. For , such a relation does not hold.Comment: 13 pages, 3 PS figures include
Anomalous diffusion analysis of the lifting events in the event-chain Monte Carlo for the classical XY models
We introduce a novel random walk model that emerges in the event-chain Monte
Carlo (ECMC) of spin systems. In the ECMC, the lifting variable specifying the
spin to be updated changes its value to one of its interacting neighbor spins.
This movement can be regarded as a random walk in a random environment with a
feedback. We investigate this random walk numerically in the case of the
classical XY model in 1,2, and 3 dimensions to find that it is superdiffusive
near the critical point of the underlying spin system. It is suggested that the
performance improvement of the ECMC is related to this anomalous behavior.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures. (v2) Presentation including plots reorganized.

Renormalization group approach to multiple-arc random matrix models
We study critical and universal behaviors of unitary invariant non-gaussian
random matrix ensembles within the framework of the large-N renormalization
group. For a simple double-well model we find an unstable fixed point and a
stable inverse-gaussian fixed point. The former is identified as the critical
point of single/double-arc phase transition with a discontinuity of the third
derivative of the free energy. The latter signifies a novel universality of
large-N correlators other than the usual single arc type. This phase structure
is consistent with the universality classification of two-level correlators for
multiple-arc models by Ambjorn and Akemann. We also establish the stability of
the gaussian fixed point in the multi-coupling model.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure, LaTeX + a4.sty, epsf.st
Field theoretic approach to the counting problem of Hamiltonian cycles of graphs
A Hamiltonian cycle of a graph is a closed path that visits each site once
and only once. I study a field theoretic representation for the number of
Hamiltonian cycles for arbitrary graphs. By integrating out quadratic
fluctuations around the saddle point, one obtains an estimate for the number
which reflects characteristics of graphs well. The accuracy of the estimate is
verified by applying it to 2d square lattices with various boundary conditions.
This is the first example of extracting meaningful information from the
quadratic approximation to the field theory representation.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, uses epsf.sty. Estimates for the site entropy and
