Critical Casimir Interactions and Percolation: the quantitative description of critical fluctuations

Casimir forces in a critical media are produced by spatial suppression of order parameter fluctuations. In this paper we address the question how fluctuations of a critical media relates the magnitude of critical Casimir interactions. Namely, for the Ising model we express the potential of critical Casimir interactions in terms of Fortuin-Kasteleyn site-bond correlated percolation clusters. These clusters are quantitative representation of fluctuations in the media. New Monte Carlo method for the computation of the Casimir force potential which is based on this relation is proposed. We verify this method by computation of Casimir interactions between two disks for 2D Ising model. The new method is also applied to the investigation of non-additivity of the critical Casimir potential. The non-additive contribution to three-particles interaction is computed as a function of the temperature.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure

On factorized Lax pairs for classical many-body integrable systems

In this paper we study factorization formulae for the Lax matrices of the classical Ruijsenaars-Schneider and Calogero-Moser models. We review the already known results and discuss their possible origins. The first origin comes from the IRF-Vertex relations and the properties of the intertwining matrices. The second origin is based on the Schlesinger transformations generated by modifications of underlying vector bundles. We show that both approaches provide explicit formulae for $M$-matrices of the integrable systems in terms of the intertwining matrices (and/or modification matrices). In the end we discuss the Calogero-Moser models related to classical root systems. The factorization formulae are proposed for a number of special cases.Comment: 42 pages, minor change
