Rényi Entropy of Zeta-Urns

Piotr Bialas, Zdzislaw Burda, Desmond A. Johnston

We calculate analytically the Renyi entropy for the zeta-urn model with a Gibbs measure definition of the micro-state probabilities. This allows us to obtain the singularities in t…

On Random Allocation Models in the Thermodynamic Limit

Piotr Bialas, Zdzislaw Burda, Desmond A. Johnston

We discuss the phase transition and critical exponents in the random allocation model (urn model) for different statistical ensembles. We provide a unified presentation of the stat…

(Four) Dual Plaquette 3D Ising Models

Desmond A. Johnston, R. P. K. C. M. Ranasinghe

A characteristic feature of the 3d plaquette Ising model is its planar subsystem symmetry. The quantum version of this model has been shown to be related via a duality to the X-Cub…

Lattice SUSY for the DiSSEP at (and )

Desmond A. Johnston

We investigate whether the dynamical lattice supersymmetry discussed for various Hamiltonians, including one-dimensional quantum spin chains, by Fendley et.al. and Hagendorf et.al.…

Plaquette Ising models, degeneracy and scaling

Desmond A. Johnston, Marco Mueller, Wolfhard Janke

We review some recent investigations of the 3d plaquette Ising model. This displays a strong first-order phase transition with unusual scaling properties due to the size-dependent…

Exact solutions to plaquette Ising models with free and periodic boundaries

Marco Mueller, Wolfhard Janke, Desmond A. Johnston

An anisotropic limit of the 3d plaquette Ising model, in which the plaquette couplings in one direction were set to zero, was solved for free boundary conditions by Suzuki (Phys. R…
