Abstract:

We study ferromagnetic Ising models on finite graphs with an inhomogeneous external field, where a subset of vertices is designated as the boundary. We show that the influence of boundary conditions on any given spin is maximised when the external field is identically 0. One corollary is that spin–spin correlations are maximised when the external field vanishes and the boundary condition is free, which proves a conjecture of Shlosman. In particular, the random field Ising model on Z^d, d ≥ 3, exhibits exponential decay of correlations in the entire high temperature regime of the pure Ising model. Another corollary is that the pure Ising model in d ≥ 3 satisfies the conjectured strong spatial mixing property in the entire high temperature regime.

      Systolic Inequality and Topological Complexity of Manifolds

      Abstract:The systole of a closed Riemannian manifold is defined to be the length of a shortest noncontractible loop. Gromov's systolic inequality relates systole to volume, which is a curvature free inequality. Gromov proved that systolic inequality holds on closed essential manifolds. Gromov's further work indicates that systolic inequality is related to topological complicatedness of manifol...

      YMSC seminar on complex algebraic geometry | Slope inequalities and a Miyaoka-Yau type inequality

      AbstractAfter a review about Xiao's approach of Slope inequalities and its generalization to positive characteristic, a Miyaoka-Yau type inequality for a minimal smooth surface of general type is given as an application. This is based on some work with Professor Yi Gu, Hao Sun and Xiaotao Sun.SpeakerResearch Interestsmoduli of vector bundle
