Quenched Randomness at First-Order Transitions
John Cardy
A rigorous theorem due to Aizenman and Wehr asserts that there can be no latent heat heat in a two-dimensional system with quenched random impurities. We examine this result, and i…
Asymptotic form of the approach to equilibrium in reversible recombination reactions
Pierre-Antoine Rey, John Cardy
The reversible reactions A+A<=>C and A+B<=>C are investigated. From the exact Langevin equations describing our model, we set up a systematic approximation scheme to compute the ap…
Renormalisation Group Theory of Branching Potts Interfaces
John Cardy
We develop a field-theoretic representation for the configurations of an interface between two ordered phases of a q-state Potts model in two dimensions, in the solid-on-solid appr…
On the Non-Universality of a Critical Exponent for Self-Avoiding Walks
D. Bennett-Wood, J. L. Cardy, I. G. Enting +2
We have extended the enumeration of self-avoiding walks on the Manhattan lattice from 28 to 53 steps and for self-avoiding polygons from 48 to 84 steps. Analysis of this data sugge…
