Decay of covariances, uniqueness of ergodic component and scaling limit for a class of φ systems with non-convex potential

Codina Cotar, Jean-Dominique Deuschel (2012)

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

We consider a gradient interface model on the lattice with interaction potential which is a non-convex perturbation of a convex potential. Using a technique which decouples the neighboring vertices into even and odd vertices, we show for a class of non-convex potentials: the uniqueness of ergodic component for φ -Gibbs measures, the decay of covariances, the scaling limit and the strict convexity of the surface tension.

Degenerating Cahn-Hilliard systems coupled with mechanical effects and complete damage processes

Christian Heinemann, Christiane Kraus (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

This paper addresses analytical investigations of degenerating PDE systems for phase separation and damage processes considered on nonsmooth time-dependent domains with mixed boundary conditions for the displacement field. The evolution of the system is described by a degenerating Cahn-Hilliard equation for the concentration, a doubly nonlinear differential inclusion for the damage variable and a quasi-static balance equation for the displacement field. The analysis is performed on a time-dependent...

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.
