  • Universality in Statistical Mechanics

    In statistical mechanics, universality is usually associated to the behavior of systemsat a critical point. Among its many features:

    I Many quantities exhibiting power-law behavior with universal exponents, sharedby all systems in large universality classes.

    I These exponents often exhibit nontrivial dependence on the spatial dimension d.I Existence of an upper critical dimension du:

    I When d > du, the dependence on d has a “simple” functional form (mean �eld).I When d = du, often presence of logarithmic corrections.I When d < du, the dependence on the dimension does not display a simple pattern.

    However, universal behavior can also be observed away from the critical point andcan display a similar phenomenology. We are now going to discuss some examples inthe Ising and Potts models.

  • Ising model on Zd

    For any d ≥ 2, there exists βc = βc(d) ∈ (0,∞) such that

    ∀β < βc There is no long-range order:

    lim‖i‖→∞

    µβ(σ0 = σi) =12

    ∀β > βc There is long-range order:

    lim‖i‖→∞

    µβ(σ0 = σi) >12

    We assume that d ≥ 2 and β < βc(d) . We denote by 〈·〉β the expectation w.r.t. µβ .

  • Decay of correlations

    As mentioned in the previous slide, when β < βc,

    lim‖i‖→∞

    〈σ0σi〉β = lim‖i‖→∞

    2µβ(σ0 = σi)− 1 = 0.

    Question: how fast is this decay?

    Let [x] ∈ Zd be the coordinate-wise integer part of x ∈ Rd.

    Theorem [Aizenman, Barsky, Fernández 1987]

    For all β < βc(d) and any unit-vector u in Rd, the inverse correlation length

    ξβ(u) = − limn→∞

    1n

    log〈σ0σ[nu]〉β

    exists and is positive.

    What about sharper asymptotics and more general functions?

  • Asymptotics of correlations

    Let f , g be two local functions and denote by θx the translation by x ∈ Zd.Let Covβ(f , g) = 〈fg〉β − 〈f〉β〈g〉β .

    What is the asymptotic behavior of

    Covβ(f , θ[nu]g)as n→∞?

    Let σA =∏

    i∈A σi. Writing

    f =∑

    A⊂supp(f)

    f̂AσA, g =∑

    B⊂supp(g)

    ĝBσB,

    yieldsCovβ(f , θ[nu]g) =

  • Decay of correlations

    This motivates the following

    Main question

    What is the asymptotic behavior, as n→∞, of

    Covβ(σA, σB+[nu])

    for A, B b Zd and u a unit-vector in Rd?

    Of course, by symmetry, 〈σC〉β = 0 whenever |C| is odd.

    Covβ(σA, σB) = 0 whenever |A|+ |B| is odd.

    We are thus left with two cases to consider:

    Odd-odd correlations

    |A|, |B| both oddEven-even correlations

    |A|, |B| both even

  • Odd-odd correlations

    Best result to date:

    Theorem [Campanino, Io�e, V. 2004]

    Let d ≥ 2 and β < βc(d). Let A, B b Zd with |A| and |B| odd.For any unit-vector u, there exists a constant 0 < C < ∞ (depending onA, B, u, β) such that

    Covβ(σA, σB+[nu]) =C

    n(d−1)/2e−ξβ (u)n (1 + o(1)),

    as n→∞.

    This result has a long history. Some milestones:

  • Even-even correlations

    Substantially more delicate!

    The analysis started with the case |A| = |B| = 2. Physicists quickly understood that

    Covβ(σA, σB+[nu]) = e−2ξβ (u)n (1+o(1)).

    However, concerning the prefactor, two con�icting predictions were put forward:

    Polyakov 1969 Camp, Fisher 1971n−2 d = 2(n log n)−2 d = 3n−(d−1) d ≥ 4

    n−d for all d ≥ 2

    (Note that both coincided with the (already known) exact computation when d = 2.)

    It turns out that Polyakov was right. This was �rst shown in

    I Bricmont–Fröhlich 1985: |A| = |B| = 2 β � 1 d ≥ 4I Minlos–Zhizhina 1988, 1996: |A|, |B| even β � 1 d ≥ 2

    I Using the FK representation, the probability µβ,J(σ0 = σne1) can be expressed interms of a sum over clusters containg 0 and ne1, with some complicated weight.

    I This may be somewhat reminiscent of the pinning problem for a(d− 1)-dimensional random walk.

    I Closer analogy using Ornstein–Zernike theory [Campanino–Io�e–V. 2008, Ott–V. 2017].coupling between FK cluster and a directed random walk on Zd.

    I With some work, one then obtains a variant of the RW pinning problem for adirected random walk interacting (in a non-trivial way) with the line L.

    I One can then adapt some of the methods used to study the RW pinning problem.32/35
