We recently introduced a robust approach to the derivation of sharp asymptotic formula for correlation functions of statistical mechanics models in the high-temperature regime. We describe its application to the nonperturbative proof of Ornstein-Zernike asymptotics of 2-point functions for self-avoiding walks, Bernoulli percolation and ferromagnetic Ising models. We then extend the proof, in the Ising case, to arbitrary odd-odd correlation functions. We discuss the fluctuatio...

The scattering theory of quantum transport relates transport properties of disordered mesoscopic conductors to their transfer matrix $\bbox{T}$. We introduce a novel approach to the statistics of transport quantities which expresses the probability distribution of $\bbox{T}$ as a path integral. The path integal is derived for a model of conductors with broken time reversal invariance in arbitrary dimensions. It is applied to the Dorokhov-Mello-Pereyra-Kumar (DMPK) equation wh...

A four part series of lectures on the connection of statistical mechanics and quantum field theory. The general principles relating statistical mechanics and the path integral formulation of quantum field theory are presented in the first lecture. These principles are then illustrated in lecture 2 by a presentation of the theory of the Ising model for $H=0$, where both the homogeneous and randomly inhomogeneous models are treated and the scaling theory and the relation with F...

We present a general method to calculate the connected correlation function of random Ising chains at zero temperature. This quantity is shown to relate to the surviving probability of some one-dimensional, adsorbing random walker on a finite intervall, the size of which is controlled by the strength of the randomness. For different random field and random bond distributions the correlation length is exactly calculated.

We study the synchronous stochastic dynamics of the random field and random bond Ising chain. For this model the generating functional analysis methods of De Dominicis leads to a formalism with transfer operators, similar to transfer matrices in equilibrium studies, but with dynamical paths of spins and (conjugate) fields as arguments, as opposed to replicated spins. In the thermodynamic limit the macroscopic dynamics is captured by the dominant eigenspace of the transfer ope...

In this paper, we first rework B. Kaufman's 1949 paper, "Crystal Statistics. II. Partition Function Evaluated by Spinor Analysis", by using representation theory. Our approach leads to a simpler and more direct way of deriving the spectrum of the transfer matrix for the finite periodic Ising model. We then determine formulas for the spin correlation functions that depend on the matrix elements of the induced rotation associated with the spin operator in a basis of eigenvector...

This PhD thesis deals with a number of different problems in mathematical physics with the common thread that they have probabilistic aspects. The problems all stem from mathematical studies of lattice systems in statistical and quantum physics; however beyond that, the selection of the concrete problems is to a certain extent arbitrary. This thesis consists of an introduction and seven papers.

Here is the first part of the summary of my work on random Ising model using real-space renormalization group (RSRG), also known as a Migdal-Kadanoff one. This approximate renormalization scheme was applied to the analysis thermodynamic properties of the model, and of probabilistic properties of a pair correlator, which is a fluctuating object in disordered systems.

Using the non-interacting Anderson tight-binding model on the Bethe lattice as a toy model for the many-body quantum dynamics, we propose a novel and transparent theoretical explanation of the anomalously slow dynamics that emerges in the bad metal phase preceding the Many-Body Localization transition. By mapping the time-decorrelation of many-body wave-functions onto Directed Polymers in Random Media, we show the existence of a glass transition within the extended regime sep...
