On the minimizers of the Ginzburg-Landau energy for high kappa : the axially symmetric case
In this note, we prove an asymptotic expansion and a central limit theorem for the multiple overlap R1, ..., s of the SK model, defined for given N, s ≥ 1 by R1, ..., s = N-1Σi≤N σ1i ... σsi. These results are obtained by a careful analysis of the terms appearing in the cavity derivation formula, as well as some graph induction procedures. Our method could hopefully be applied to other spin glasses models.
Ground states of the Edwards–Anderson (EA) spin glass model are studied on infinite graphs with finite degree. Ground states are spin configurations that locally minimize the EA Hamiltonian on each finite set of vertices. A problem with far-reaching consequences in mathematics and physics is to determine the number of ground states for the model on for any . This problem can be seen as the spin glass version of determining the number of infinite geodesics in first-passage percolation or the number...
This short report is a review on recent results of S. Caprino, C. Marchioro, E. Miot and the author on the initial value problem associated to the evolution of a continuous distribution of charges (plasma) in presence of a finite number of point charges.
Slightly below the transition temperatures, the behavior of superconducting materials is governed by the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equation which characterizes the dynamical interaction of the density of superconducting electron pairs and the exited electromagnetic potential. In this paper, an optimal control problem of the strength of external magnetic field for one-dimensional thin film superconductors with respect to a convex criterion functional is considered. It is formulated as a nonlinear coefficient...
A new numerical scheme called particle-in-wavelets is proposed for the Vlasov-Poisson equations, and tested in the simplest case of one spatial dimension. The plasma distribution function is discretized using tracer particles, and the charge distribution is reconstructed using wavelet-based density estimation. The latter consists in projecting the Delta distributions corresponding to the particles onto a finite dimensional linear space spanned by...
We consider a bounded step size random walk in an ergodic random environment with some ellipticity, on an integer lattice of arbitrary dimension. We prove a level 3 large deviation principle, under almost every environment, with rate function related to a relative entropy.
