Metastability for the Ising Model on the hypercube

Abstract

We consider Glauber dynamics for the low-temperature, ferromagnetic Ising Model set on the n-dimensional hypercube. We derive precise asymptotic results for the crossover time (the time it takes for the dynamics to go from the configuration with a "-1" at every vertex, to the configuration with a "+1" at each vertex) in the limit as the inverse temperature $\beta \to \infty$.
