A Solvable 2D Quantum Gravity Model with \GAMMA >0

We consider a model of discretized 2d gravity interacting with Ising spins where phase boundaries are restricted to have minimal length and show analytically that the critical exponent $\gamma= 1/3$ at the spin transition point. The model captures the numerically observed behavior of standard multiple Ising spins coupled to 2d gravity.Comment: Latex, 9 pages, NBI-HE-94-0

Loop transfer matrix and gonihedric loop diffusion

We study a class of statistical systems which simulate 3D gonihedric system on euclidean lattice. We have found the exact partition function of the 3D-model and the corresponding critical indices analysing the transfer matrix $K(P_{i},P_{f})$ which describes the propagation of loops on a lattice. The connection between 3D gonihedric system and 2D-Ising model is clearly seen.Comment: 14 pages, Late

The spectral dimension of generic trees

We define generic ensembles of infinite trees. These are limits as $N\to\infty$ of ensembles of finite trees of fixed size $N$, defined in terms of a set of branching weights. Among these ensembles are those supported on trees with vertices of a uniformly bounded order. The associated probability measures are supported on trees with a single spine and Hausdorff dimension $d_h =2$. Our main result is that their spectral dimension is $d_s=4/3$, and that the critical exponent of the mass, defined as the exponential decay rate of the two-point function along the spine, is 1/3

Condensation in nongeneric trees

We study nongeneric planar trees and prove the existence of a Gibbs measure on infinite trees obtained as a weak limit of the finite volume measures. It is shown that in the infinite volume limit there arises exactly one vertex of infinite degree and the rest of the tree is distributed like a subcritical Galton-Watson tree with mean offspring probability $m<1$. We calculate the rate of divergence of the degree of the highest order vertex of finite trees in the thermodynamic limit and show it goes like $(1-m)N$ where $N$ is the size of the tree. These trees have infinite spectral dimension with probability one but the spectral dimension calculated from the ensemble average of the generating function for return probabilities is given by $2\beta -2$ if the weight $w_n$ of a vertex of degree $n$ is asymptotic to $n^{-\beta}$.Comment: 57 pages, 14 figures.
