The wave equation in random domains : localization of the normal modes in the small frequency region
We considerably improve upon the recent result of [37] on the mixing time of Glauber dynamics for the 2D Ising model in a box of side at low temperature and with random boundary conditions whose distribution stochastically dominates the extremal plus phase. An important special case is when is concentrated on the homogeneous all-plus configuration, where the mixing time is conjectured to be polynomial in . In [37] it was shown that for a large enough inverse-temperature and any there...
Consider the classical -dimensional Solid-On-Solid model above a hard wall on an box of . The model describes a crystal surface by assigning a non-negative integer height to each site in the box and 0 heights to its boundary. The probability of a surface configuration is proportional to , where is the inverse-temperature and sums the absolute values of height differences between neighboring sites. We give a full description of the shape of the SOS surface for low enough temperatures....
