We present the reduction of the correlation functions of the Ising model on the anisotropic square lattice to complete elliptic integrals of the first, second and third kind, the extension of Kramers-Wannier duality to anisotropic correlation functions, and the linear differential equations for these anisotropic correlations. More precisely, we show that the anisotropic correlation functions are homogeneous polynomials of the complete elliptic integrals of the first, second and third kind. We give the exact dual transformation matching the correlation functions and the dual correlation functions. We show that the linear differential operators annihilating the general two-point correlation functions are factorised in a very simple way, in operators of decreasing orders.
We introduce some multiple integrals that are expected to have the same singularities as the singularities of the $ n$-particle contributions $chi^{(n)}$ to the susceptibility of the square lattice Ising model. We find the Fuchsian linear differential equation satisfied by these multiple integrals for $ n=1, 2, 3, 4$ and only modulo some primes for $ n=5$ and $ 6$, thus providing a large set of (possible) new singularities of the $chi^{(n)}$. We discuss the singularity structure for these multiple integrals by solving the Landau conditions. We find that the singularities of the associated ODEs identify (up to $n= 6$) with the leading pinch Landau singularities. The second remarkable obtained feature is that the singularities of the ODEs associated with the multiple integrals reduce to the singularities of the ODEs associated with a {em finite number of one dimensional integrals}. Among the singularities found, we underline the fact that the quadratic polynomial condition $ 1+3 w +4 w^2 = 0$, that occurs in the linear differential equation of $ chi^{(3)}$, actually corresponds to a remarkable property of selected elliptic curves, namely the occurrence of complex multiplication. The interpretation of complex multiplication for elliptic curves as complex fixed points of the selected generators of the renormalization group, namely isogenies of elliptic curves, is sketched. Most of the other singularities occurring in our multiple integrals are not related to complex multiplication situations, suggesting an interpretation in terms of (motivic) mathematical structures beyond the theory of elliptic curves.
We give the exact expressions of the partial susceptibilities $chi^{(3)}_d$ and $chi^{(4)}_d$ for the diagonal susceptibility of the Ising model in terms of modular forms and Calabi-Yau ODEs, and more specifically, $_3F_2([1/3,2/3,3/2],, [1,1];, z)$ and $_4F_3([1/2,1/2,1/2,1/2],, [1,1,1]; , z)$ hypergeometric functions. By solving the connection problems we analytically compute the behavior at all finite singular points for $chi^{(3)}_d$ and $chi^{(4)}_d$. We also give new results for $chi^{(5)}_d$. We see in particular, the emergence of a remarkable order-six operator, which is such that its symmetric square has a rational solution. These new exact results indicate that the linear differential operators occurring in the $n$-fold integrals of the Ising model are not only Derived from Geometry (globally nilpotent), but actually correspond to Special Geometry (homomorphic to their formal adjoint). This raises the question of seeing if these special geometry Ising-operators, are special ones, reducing, in fact systematically, to (selected, k-balanced, ...) $_{q+1}F_q$ hypergeometric functions, or correspond to the more general solutions of Calabi-Yau equations.
We consider families of multiple and simple integrals of the ``Ising class and the linear ordinary differential equations with polynomial coefficients they are solutions of. We compare the full set of singularities given by the roots of the head polynomial of these linear ODEs and the subset of singularities occurring in the integrals, with the singularities obtained from the Landau conditions. For these Ising class integrals, we show that the Landau conditions can be worked out, either to give the singularities of the corresponding linear differential equation or the singularities occurring in the integral. The singular behavior of these integrals is obtained in the self-dual variable $w= s/2/(1+s^2)$, with $s= sinh(2K)$, where $K=J/kT$ is the usual Ising model coupling constant. Switching to the variable $s$, we show that the singularities of the analytic continuation of series expansions of these integrals actually break the Kramers-Wannier duality. We revisit the singular behavior (J. Phys. A {bf 38} (2005) 9439-9474) of the third contribution to the magnetic susceptibility of Ising model $chi^{(3)}$ at the points $1+3w+4w^2= 0$ and show that $chi^{(3)}(s)$ is not singular at the corresponding points inside the unit circle $| s |=1$, while its analytical continuation in the variable $s$ is actually singular at the corresponding points $ 2+s+s^2=0$ oustside the unit circle ($| s | > 1$).
We give an example of infinite order rational transformation that leaves a linear differential equation covariant. This example can be seen as a non-trivial but still simple illustration of an exact representation of the renormalization group.
We consider an ensemble of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes featuring a population of relaxation times and a population of noise amplitudes that characterize the heterogeneity of the ensemble. We show that the centre-of-mass like variable corresponding to this ensemble is statistically equivalent to a process driven by a non-autonomous stochastic differential equation with time- dependent drift and a white noise. In particular, the time scaling and the density function of such variable are driven by the population of timescales and of noise amplitudes, respectively. Moreover, we show that this variable is equivalent in distribution to a randomly-scaled Gaussian process, i.e., a process built by the product of a Gaussian process times a non-negative independent random variable. This last result establishes a connection with the so-called generalized gray Brownian motion and suggests application to model fractional anomalous diffusion in biological systems.
