Statistical mechanics approach to the electric polarization and dielectric constant of band insulators
Frédéric Combes, Maximilian Trescher, Frédéric Piéchon +1
We develop a theory for the analytic computation of the free energy of band insulators in the presence of a uniform and constant electric field. The two key ingredients are a pertu…
Tensor models from the viewpoint of matrix models: the case of the Gaussian distribution
Valentin Bonzom, Frédéric Combes
Observables in random tensor theory are polynomials in the entries of a tensor of rank which are invariant under . It is notoriously difficult to evaluate the expectati…
The calculation of expectation values in Gaussian random tensor theory via meanders
Valentin Bonzom, Frederic Combes
A difficult problem in the theory of random tensors is to calculate the expectation values of polynomials in the tensor entries, even in the large N limit and in a Gaussian distrib…
Tensor models from the viewpoint of matrix models: the case of loop models on random surfaces
Valentin Bonzom, Frédéric Combes
We study a connection between random tensors and random matrices through matrix models which generate fully packed, oriented loops on random surfaces. The latter are found t…
