The scaling limit of boundary spin correlations in non-integrable Ising models

Giulia Cava, Alessandro Giuliani, Rafael Leon Greenblatt

We consider a class of non-integrable 2D Ising models obtained by perturbing the nearest-neighbor model via a weak, finite range potential which preserves translation and spin-flip…

The zeros of the partition function of the pinning model

Giambattista Giacomin, Rafael L. Greenblatt

We aim at understanding for which (complex) values of the potential the pinning partition function vanishes. The pinning model is a Gibbs measure based on discrete renewal processe…
