Complete analysis of phase transitions and ensemble equivalence for the Curie-Weiss-Potts model

چکیده
Using the theory of large deviations, we analyze the phase transition structure of the Curie-WeissPotts spin model, which is a mean-field approximation to the Potts model. This analysis is carried out both for the canonical ensemble and the microcanonical ensemble. Besides giving explicit formulas for the microcanonical entropy and for the equilibrium macrostates with respect to the two ensembles, we analyze ensemble equivalence and nonequivalence at the level of equilibrium macrostates, relating these to concavity and support properties of the microcanonical entropy. The Curie-WeissPotts model is the first statistical mechanical model for which such a detailed and rigorous analysis has been carried out.

Path Coupling and Aggregate Path Coupling
In this survey paper, we describe and characterize an extension to the classical path coupling method applied to statistical mechanical models, referred to as aggregate path coupling. In conjunction with large deviations estimates, we use this aggregate path coupling method to prove rapid mixing of Glauber dynamics for a large class of statistical mechanical models, including models that exhibi...

In this paper, we present a novel extension to the classical path coupling method to statistical mechanical models which we refer to as aggregate path coupling. In conjunction with large deviations estimates, we use this aggregate path coupling method to prove rapid mixing of Glauber dynamics for a large class of statistical mechanical models, including models that exhibit discontinuous phase t...
متن کاملLimit Theorems and Coexistence Probabilities for the Curie-Weiss Potts Model with an external field
The Curie-Weiss Potts model is a mean field version of the well-known Potts model. In this model, the critical line β = βc(h) is explicitly known and corresponds to a first order transition when q > 2. In the present paper we describe the fluctuations of the density vector in the whole domain β > 0 and h > 0, including the conditional fluctuations on the critical line and the non-Gaussian fluct...
متن کاملStatistical Mechanical Systems on Complete Graphs, Infinite Exchangeability, Finite Extensions and a Discrete Finite Moment Problem
We show that a large collection of statistical mechanical systems with quadratically represented Hamiltonians on the complete graph can be extended to infinite exchangeable processes. This extends a known result for the ferromagnetic Curie–Weiss Ising model and includes as well all ferromagnetic Curie–Weiss Potts and Curie–Weiss Heisenberg models. By de Finetti’s theorem, this is equivalent to ...
