We consider near-critical two-dimensional statistical systems at phase coexistence on the half plane with boundary conditions leading to the formation of a droplet separating coexisting phases. General low-energy properties of two-dimensional field theories are used in order to find exact analytic results for one- and two-point correlation functions of both the energy density and order parameter fields. The subleading finite-size corrections are also computed and interpreted within an exact probabilistic picture in which interfacial fluctuations are characterized by the probability density of a Brownian excursion. The analytical results are compared against high-precision Monte Carlo simulations we performed for the specific case of the Ising model. The numerical results are found to be in good agreement with the analytic results in absence of adjustable parameters. The explicit analysis of the closed-form expression for order parameter correlations reveals the long-ranged character of interfacial correlations and their confinement within the interfacial region. The analysis of correlations is then carried out in momentum space through the notion of interface structure factor, which we extend to the case of systems bounded by a flat wall. The presence of the wall and its associated entropic repulsion leads to a specific term in the interface structure factor which we identify.

We derive exact analytic results for several four-point correlation functions for statistical models exhibiting phase separation in two-dimensions. Our theoretical results are then specialized to the Ising model on the two-dimensional strip and found to be in excellent agreement with high-precision Monte Carlo simulations.
We consider systems confined to a $d$-dimensional slab of macroscopic lateral extension and finite thickness $L$ that undergo a continuous bulk phase transition in the limit $Ltoinfty$ and are describable by an O(n) symmetrical Hamiltonian. Periodic boundary conditions are applied across the slab. We study the effects of long-range pair interactions whose potential decays as $b x^{-(d+sigma)}$ as $xtoinfty$, with $2<sigma<4$ and $2<d+sigmaleq 6$, on the Casimir effect at and near the bulk critical temperature $T_{c,infty}$, for $2<d<4$. For the scaled reduced Casimir force per unit cross-sectional area, we obtain the form $L^{d} {mathcal F}_C/k_BT approx Xi_0(L/xi_infty) + g_omega L^{-omega}Xiomega(L/xi_infty) + g_sigma L^{-omega_sigm a} Xi_sigma(L xi_infty)$. The contribution $propto g_sigma$ decays for $T eq T_{c,infty}$ algebraically in $L$ rather than exponentially, and hence becomes dominant in an appropriate regime of temperatures and $L$. We derive exact results for spherical and Gaussian models which confirm these findings. In the case $d+sigma =6$, which includes that of nonretarded van-der-Waals interactions in $d=3$ dimensions, the power laws of the corrections to scaling $propto b$ of the spherical model are found to get modified by logarithms. Using general RG ideas, we show that these logarithmic singularities originate from the degeneracy $omega=omega_sigma=4-d$ that occurs for the spherical model when $d+sigma=6$, in conjunction with the $b$ dependence of $g_omega$.
An initially homogeneous freely evolving fluid of inelastic hard spheres develops inhomogeneities in the flow field (vortices) and in the density field (clusters), driven by unstable fluctuations. Their spatial correlations, as measured in molecular dynamics simulations, exhibit long range correlations; the mean vortex diameter grows as the square root of time; there occur transitions to macroscopic shearing states, etc. The Cahn--Hilliard theory of spinodal decomposition offers a qualitative understanding and quantitative estimates of the observed phenomena. When intrinsic length scales are of the order of the system size, effects of physical boundaries and periodic boundaries (finite size effects in simulations) are important.
In this paper we study bond percolation on a one-dimensional chain with power-law bond probability $C/ r^{1+sigma}$, where $r$ is the distance length between distinct sites. We introduce and test an order $N$ Monte Carlo algorithm and we determine as a function of $sigma$ the critical value $C_{c}$ at which percolation occurs. The critical exponents in the range $0<sigma<1$ are reported and compared with mean-field and $varepsilon$-expansion results. Our analysis is in agreement, up to a numerical precision $approx 10^{-3}$, with the mean field result for the anomalous dimension $eta=2-sigma$, showing that there is no correction to $eta$ due to correlation effects.
We examine the Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA), which is a well-established method for the detection of long-range correlations in time series. We show that deviations from scaling that appear at small time scales become stronger in higher orders of DFA, and suggest a modified DFA method to remove them. The improvement is necessary especially for short records that are affected by non-stationarities. Furthermore, we describe how crossovers in the correlation behavior can be detected reliably and determined quantitatively and show how several types of trends in the data affect the different orders of DFA.
