Topological Phase Transitions in the Golden String-Net Model

M. D. Schulz, S. Dusuel, K. P. Schmidt +1

We examine the zero-temperature phase diagram of the two-dimensional Levin-Wen string-net model with Fibonacci anyons in the presence of competing interactions. Combining high-orde…

Taylor Dispersion with Adsorption and Desorption

Maximilien Levesque, Olivier Bénichou, Raphaël Voituriez +1

We use a stochastic approach to show how Taylor dispersion is affected by kinetic processes of adsorption and desorption onto surfaces. A general theory is developed, from which we…

Exact mean exit time for surface-mediated diffusion

J. -F. Rupprecht, O. Bénichou, D. S. Grebenkov +1

We present an exact expression for the mean exit time through the cap of a confining sphere for particles alternating phases of surface and of bulk diffusion. The present approach…

The Quantum Adiabatic Algorithm applied to random optimization problems: the quantum spin glass perspective

Victor Bapst, Laura Foini, Florent Krzakala +2

Among various algorithms designed to exploit the specific properties of quantum computers with respect to classical ones, the quantum adiabatic algorithm is a versatile proposition…

Free energy landscapes for the thermodynamic understanding of adsorption-induced deformations and structural transitions in porous materials

David Bousquet, François-Xavier Coudert, Anne Boutin

Soft porous crystals are flexible metal-organic frameworks that respond to physical stimuli such as temperature, pressure, and gas adsorption by large changes in their structure an…

Dynamic fluctuations in unfrustrated systems: random walks, scalar fields and the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase

Federico Corberi, Leticia F. Cugliandolo

We study analytically the distribution of fluctuations of the quantities whose average yield the usual two-point correlation and linear response functions in three unfrustrated mod…

Static properties of 2D spin-ice as a sixteen-vertex model

Laura Foini, Demian Levis, Marco Tarzia +1

We present a thorough study of the static properties of 2D models of spin-ice type on the square lattice or, in other words, the sixteen-vertex model. We use extensive Monte Carlo…

Two-dimensional Potts antiferromagnets with a phase transition at arbitrarily large q

Yuan Huang, Kun Chen, Youjin Deng +5

We exhibit infinite families of two-dimensional lattices (some of which are triangulations or quadrangulations of the plane) on which the q-state Potts antiferromagnet has a finite…

Geometrical Frustration and Static Correlations in Hard-Sphere Glass Formers

Benoit Charbonneau, Patrick Charbonneau, Gilles Tarjus

We analytically and numerically characterize the structure of hard-sphere fluids in order to review various geometrical frustration scenarios of the glass transition. We find gener…

Logarithmic observables in critical percolation

Romain Vasseur, Jesper Lykke Jacobsen, Hubert Saleur

Although it has long been known that the proper quantum field theory description of critical percolation involves a logarithmic conformal field theory (LCFT), no direct consequence…

Finite-temperature and finite-time scaling of the directed polymer free-energy with respect to its geometrical fluctuations

Elisabeth Agoritsas, Sebastian Bustingorry, Vivien Lecomte +2

We study the fluctuations of the directed polymer in 1+1 dimensions in a Gaussian random environment with a finite correlation length ξ and at finite temperature. We address the co…

Kinetics of active surface-mediated diffusion in spherically symmetric domains

J. -F. Rupprecht, O. Bénichou, D. S. Grebenkov +1

We present an exact calculation of the mean first-passage time to a target on the surface of a 2D or 3D spherical domain, for a molecule alternating phases of surface diffusion on…

Diffusion coefficient and shear viscosity of rigid water models

Sami Tazi, Alexandru Botan, Mathieu Salanne +3

We report the diffusion coefficient and viscosity of popular rigid water models: Two non polarizable ones (SPC/E with 3 sites, and TIP4P/2005 with 4 sites) and a polarizable one (D…

Including many-body effects in models for ionic liquids

Mathieu Salanne, Benjamin Rotenberg, Sandro Jahn +3

Realistic modeling of ionic systems necessitates taking explicitly account of many-body effects. In molecular dynamics simulations, it is possible to introduce explicitly these eff…

Finite size effects in the dynamics of glass-forming liquids

Ludovic Berthier, Giulio Biroli, Daniele Coslovich +2

We present a comprehensive theoretical study of finite size effects in the relaxation dynamics of glass-forming liquids. Our analysis is motivated by recent theoretical progress re…

On the relation between kinetically constrained models of glass dynamics and the random first-order transition theory

Laura Foini, Florent Krzakala, Francesco Zamponi

In this paper we revisit and extend the mapping between two apparently different classes of models. The first class contains the prototypical models described --at the mean-field l…

Branching rate expansion around annihilating random walks

Federico Benitez, Nicolas Wschebor

We present some exact results for branching and annihilating random walks. We compute the nonuniversal threshold value of the annihilation rate for having a phase transition in the…
