Dimers and cluster integrable systems

Alexander B. Goncharov, Richard Kenyon (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We show that the dimer model on a bipartite graph Γ on a torus gives rise to a quantum integrable system of special type, which we call acluster integrable system. The phase space of the classical system contains, as an open dense subset, the moduli space Ł Γ of line bundles with connections on the graph Γ . The sum of Hamiltonians is essentially the partition function of the dimer model. We say that two such graphs Γ 1 and Γ 2 areequivalentif the Newton polygons of the corresponding partition functions...

Directed polymer in random environment and last passage percolation*

Philippe Carmona (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

The sequence of random probability measures νn that gives a path of length n, 1 n times the sum of the random weights collected along the paths, is shown to satisfy a large deviations principle with good rate function the Legendre transform of the free energy of the associated directed polymer in a random environment. Consequences on the asymptotics of the typical number of paths whose collected weight is above a fixed proportion are then drawn.

Discrete Dirac operators on Riemann surfaces and Kasteleyn matrices

David Cimasoni (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let be a flat surface of genus g with cone type singularities. Given a bipartite graph Γ isoradially embedded in , we define discrete analogs of the 2 2 g Dirac operators on . These discrete objects are then shown to converge to the continuous ones, in some appropriate sense. Finally, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on the pair Γ for these discrete Dirac operators to be Kasteleyn matrices of the graph Γ . As a consequence, if these conditions are met, the partition function of the dimer...

Disorder relevance at marginality and critical point shift

Giambattista Giacomin, Hubert Lacoin, Fabio Lucio Toninelli (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Recently the renormalization group predictions on the effect of disorder on pinning models have been put on mathematical grounds. The picture is particularly complete if the disorder is relevant or irrelevant in the Harris criterion sense: the question addressed is whether quenched disorder leads to a critical behavior which is different from the one observed in the pure, i.e. annealed, system. The Harris criterion prediction is based on the sign of the specific heat exponent of the pure system,...

Disorder relevance for the random walk pinning model in dimension 3

Matthias Birkner, Rongfeng Sun (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We study the continuous time version of the random walk pinning model, where conditioned on a continuous time random walk (Ys)s≥0 on ℤd with jump rate ρ > 0, which plays the role of disorder, the law up to time t of a second independent random walk (Xs)0≤s≤t with jump rate 1 is Gibbs transformed with weight eβLt(X,Y), where Lt(X, Y) is the collision local time between X and Y up to time t. As the inverse temperature β varies, the model undergoes a localization–delocalization transition at...

Duality of Schramm-Loewner evolutions

Julien Dubédat (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

In this note, we prove a version of the conjectured duality for Schramm-Loewner Evolutions, by establishing exact identities in distribution between some boundary arcs of chordal SLE κ , κ > 4 , and appropriate versions of SLE κ ^ , κ ^ = 16 / κ .
