Non-amenability and spontaneous symmetry breaking -- The hyperbolic spin-chain
Max Niedermaier, Erhard Seiler
The hyperbolic spin chain is used to elucidate the notion of spontaneous symmetry breaking for a non-amenable internal symmetry group, here SO(1,2). The noncompact symmetry is show…
The case against asymptotic freedom
Erhard Seiler
In this talk I give an overview of the work done during the last 15 years in collaboration with the late Adrian Patrascioiu. In this work we accumulated evidence against the common…
Critical behavior in a quasi D dimensional spin model
Erhard Seiler, Karim Yildirim
We study a classical spin model (more precisely a class of models) with O(N) symmetry that can be viewed as a simplified dimensional lattice model. It is equivalent to a non-tr…
Percolation and the existence of a soft phase in the classical Heisenberg model
Adrian Patrascioiu, Erhard Seiler
We present the results of a numerical investigation of percolation properties in a version of the classical Heisenberg model. In particular we study the percolation properties of t…
Absence of Asymptotic Freedom in Non-Abelian Models
A. Patrascioiu, E. Seiler
The percolation properties of equatorial strips of the two dimensional O(3) nonlinear model are investigated numerically. Convincing evidence is found that a sufficently narrow…
The Difference between Abelian and Non-Abelian Models: Fact and Fancy
Adrian Patrascioiu, Erhard Seiler
The commonly accepted belief that non-Abelian and Abelian models are different because of the presence/absence of instantons and/or perturbative asymptotic freedom is analyzed from…
