A Personal List of Unsolved Problems Concerning Potts Models and Lattice Gases

چکیده

I review recent results and unsolved problems concerning the hard-core lattice gas and the q-coloring model (antiferromagnetic Potts model at zero temperature). For each model, I consider its equilibrium properties (uniqueness/nonuniqueness of the infinite-volume Gibbs measure, complex zeros of the partition function) and the dynamics of local and nonlocal Monte Carlo algorithms (ergodicity, rapid mixing, mixing at complex fugacity). These problems touch on mathematical physics, probability, combinatorics and theoretical computer science. [Pour M. Toubon] Je passe en revue des résultats récents et des problèmes non résolus concernant le gaz sur réseau avec exclusion et le modèle de qcoloriage (modèle de Potts antiferromagnétique à température zéro). Pour chacun des deux modèles, je considère ses propriétés d’équilibre (unicité/nonunicité de la mesure de Gibbs en volume infini, zéros complexes de la fonction de partition) et la dynamique des algorithmes Monte Carlo locaux et non-locaux (ergodicité, mélange rapide, mélange à fugacité complexe). Ces problèmes touchent à la physique mathématique, à la probabilité, à la combinatoire et à l’informatique théorique. Running title: Potts Models and Lattice Gases

Solved and unsolved problems in generalized notions of Connes amenability

We survey the recent investigations on (bounded, sequential) approximate Connes amenability and pseudo-Connes amenability for dual Banach algebras. We will discuss the core problems concerning these notions and address the signicance of any solutions to them to the development of the eld.

Integrable models in statistical mechanics: The hidden field with unsolved problems

In the past 30 years there have been extensive discoveries in the theory of integrable statistical mechanical models including the discovery of non-linear differential equations for Ising model correlation functions, the theory of random impurities, level crossing transitions in the chiral Potts model and the use of Rogers-Ramanujan identities to generalize our concepts of Bose/Fermi statistics...

Test of Guttmann and Enting’s conjecture in the eight-vertex model

We investigate the analyticity property of the partially resummed series expansion(PRSE) of the partition function for the eight-vertex model. Developing a graphical technique, we have obtained a first few terms of the PRSE and found that these terms have a pole only at one point in the complex plane of the coupling constant. This result supports the conjecture proposed by Guttmann and Enting c...
