Abstract We present a high-precision Monte Carlo study of the classical Heisenberg model in four dimensions. We investigate the properties of monopole-like topological excitations that are enforced in the broken-symmetry phase by imposing suitable boundary conditions. We show that the corresponding magnetization and energy-density profiles are accurately predicted by previous analytical calculations derived in quantum field theory, while the scaling of the low-energy parameters of this description questions an interpretation in terms of particle excitations. We discuss the relevance of these findings and their possible experimental applications in condensed-matter physics.

AbstractWe study long-range Bernoulli percolation on $${\mathbb {Z}}^d$$ Z d in which each two vertices x and y are connected by an edge with probability $$1-\exp (-\beta \Vert x-y\Vert ^{-d-\alpha })$$ 1 - exp ( - β ‖ x - y ‖ - d - α ) . It is a theorem of Noam Berger (Commun. Math. Phys., 2002) that if $$0<\alpha <d$$ 0 < α < d then there is no infinite cluster at the critical parameter $$\beta _c$$ β c . We give a new, quantitative proof of this theorem establishing the power-law upper bound $$\begin{aligned} {\mathbf {P}}_{\beta _c}\bigl (|K|\ge n\bigr ) \le C n^{-(d-\alpha )/(2d+\alpha )} \end{aligned}$$ P β c ( | K | ≥ n ) ≤ C n - ( d - α ) / ( 2 d + α ) for every $$n\ge 1$$ n ≥ 1 , where K is the cluster of the origin. We believe that this is the first rigorous power-law upper bound for a Bernoulli percolation model that is neither planar nor expected to exhibit mean-field critical behaviour. As part of the proof, we establish a universal inequality implying that the maximum size of a cluster in percolation on any finite graph is of the same order as its mean with high probability. We apply this inequality to derive a new rigorous hyperscaling inequality $$(2-\eta )(\delta +1)\le d(\delta -1)$$ ( 2 - η ) ( δ + 1 ) ≤ d ( δ - 1 ) relating the cluster-volume exponent $$\delta $$ δ and two-point function exponent $$\eta $$ η .

I investigate the nature of the upper critical dimension for isotropic conservative sandpile models and calculate the emerging logarithmic corrections to power-law distributions. I check the results experimentally using the case of Manna model with the theoretical solution known for all statement starting from the two-dimensional one. In addition, based on this solution, I construct a non-trivial super-universal indicator for this model. It characterizes the distribution of avalanches by time the border of their region needs to pass its width.

This chapter traces Anderson’s work from his invention of an impurity model to understand the fate of a magnetic atom immersed in a non-magnetic metal to his solution of the Kondo problem using an early version of the renormalization group invented by him and later generalized by Ken Wilson. Important events on this path are the experimental impetus provided by Bernd Matthias, the Coulomb repulsion model of insulating behavior due to Nevill Mott, and Jacques Friedel’s ideas about treating atoms embedded in metals. Speculation is offered about the award of the 1977 Nobel Prize to Anderson, Mott, and Van Vleck.
