Abstract

In this paper, we thoroughly analyze the energy landscape of the Curie-Weiss-Potts model, which is a ferromagnetic spin system consisting of q $\ge$ 3 spins defined on complete graphs. In particular, for the Curie-Weiss-Potts model with q $\ge$ 3 spins and zero external field, we completely characterize all critical temperatures and phase transitions in view of the global structure of the energy landscape. We observe that there are three critical temperatures and four different regimes for q < 5, whereas there are four critical temperatures and five different regimes for q $\ge$ 5. Our analysis extends the investigations performed in [M. Costeniuc, R. S. Ellis, H. Touchette: J. Math. Phys (2005)]; they provide the precise characterization of the second critical temperatures for all q $\ge$ 3 and in [Landim and Seo: J. Stat. Phys. (2016)], which provides a complete analysis of the energy landscape for q = 3. Based on our precise analysis of the energy landscape, we also perform a quantitative investigation of the metastable behavior of the heat-bath Glauber dynamics associated with the Curie-Weiss-Potts model.

Averaging principles for nonautonomous multiscale stochastic Burgers equations with reflection

In this paper, we study averaging principles for nonautonomous multiscale stochastic Burgers equations with reflection. First, we derive a general averaging principle applicable to such equations under minimal assumptions. Subsequently, since the coefficients of the obtained averaged equation still depend on the small scaling parameter $\e$, we impose either periodic or asymptotic conditions on the coefficients, thereby obtain two distinct averaged equations whose coefficients are independent of $\e$ and establish two averaging principles. Stopping times and Khasminskii's time discretization schemes play an important role. Finally, a concrete example is provided to illustrate the applicability and validity of the theoretical results.

Spectral properties of Random Matrices

We give the theoretical foundations of random matrix theory through the definitions of a random matrix, a random probability measure and the corresponding empirical spectral distribution. The technical tool we use is the Stieltjes transform method through which we prove optimal convergence of the empirical spectral distribution of random sample covariance matrices to the deterministic Marchenko-Pastur distribution. We also give new results about the rigidity of the eigenvalues of this random sample covariance matrix and the rate of their convergence. We then define the Dyson equation method to prove new local laws about a random matrix model that interpolates between the Marchenko-Pastur distribution, the elliptical law and the circular law. Through our work these local laws can be considered universal.

Moments approach for the elephant random walk

We discuss the method of moments for the one-dimensional elephant random walk (ERW). We first derive a differential recurrence relation for the characteristic function of the ERW, which yields a corresponding system of recurrence relations for its moments. We then obtain asymptotic approximations for the moments in each of the three parameter regimes of the ERW. Finally, by establishing the convergence of the moments and verifying the corresponding moment-determinacy conditions, we identify the limiting distributions of the ERW in each regime.
