We define a multi-group version of the mean-field or Curie-Weiss spin model. For this model, we show how, analogously to the classical (single-group) model, the three temperature regimes are defined. Then we use the method of moments to determine for each regime how the vector of the group magnetisations behaves asymptotically. Some possible applications to social or political sciences are discussed.
We define a multi-group version of the mean-field spin model, also called Curie-Weiss model. It is known that, in the high temperature regime of this model, a central limit theorem holds for the vector of suitably scaled group magnetisations, that is the sum of spins belonging to each group. In this article, we prove a local central limit theorem for the group magnetisations in the high temperature regime.
In this paper we study the metastable behavior of one of the simplest disordered spin system, the random field Curie-Weiss model. We will show how the potential theoretic approach can be used to prove sharp estimates on capacities and metastable exit times also in the case when the distribution of the random field is continuous. Previous work was restricted to the case when the random field takes only finitely many values, which allowed the reduction to a finite dimensional problem using lumping techniques. Here we produce the first genuine sharp estimates in a context where entropy is important.
In this paper we study the moderate deviations for the magnetization of critical Curie-Weiss model. Chen, Fang and Shao considered a similar problem for non-critical model by using Stein method. By direct and simple arguments based on Laplace method, we provide an explicit formula of the error and deduce a Cramer-type result.
We prove laws of large numbers as well as central and non-central limit theorems for the Curie-Weiss model of magnetism. The rather elementary proofs are based on the method of moments.
We derive and compare various forms of local semicircle laws for random matrices with exchangeable entries which exhibit correlations that decay at a very slow rate. In fact, any $l$-point correlation will decay at a rate of $N^{-l/2}$. We call our ensembles emph{of Curie-Weiss type}, and Curie-Weiss($beta$)-distributed entries are admissible as long as $betaleq 1$.
