Improved mixing bounds for the anti-ferromagnetic Potts model on Z^2
Leslie Ann Goldberg, Markus Jalsenius, Russell Martin +1
We consider the anti-ferromagnetic Potts model on the the integer lattice Z^2. The model has two parameters, q, the number of spins, and λ=\exp(-β), where βis ``inverse temperature…
