A detailed analysis of the finite-size effects on the bulk critical behaviour of the $d$-dimensional mean spherical model confined to a film geometry with finite thickness $L$ is reported. Along the finite direction different kinds of boundary conditions are applied: periodic $(p)$, antiperiodic $(a)$ and free surfaces with Dirichlet $(D)$, Neumann $(N)$ and a combination of Neumann and Dirichlet $(ND)$ on both surfaces. A systematic method for the evaluation of the finite-size corrections to the free energy for the different types of boundary conditions is proposed. The free energy density and the equation for the spherical field are computed for arbitrary $d$. It is found, for $2<d<4$, that the singular part of the free energy has the required finite-size scaling form at the bulk critical temperature only for $(p)$ and $(a)$. For the remaining boundary conditions the standard finite-size scaling hypothesis is not valid. At $d=3$, the critical amplitude of the singular part of the free energy (related to the so called Casimir amplitude) is estimated. We obtain $Delta^{(p)}=-2zeta(3)/(5pi)=-0.153051...$, $Delta^{(a)}=0.274543...$ and $Delta^{(ND)}=0.01922...$, implying a fluctuation--induced attraction between the surfaces for $(p)$ and repulsion in the other two cases. For $(D)$ and $(N)$ we find a logarithmic dependence on $L$.

We revisit the gradient descent dynamics of the spherical Sherrington-Kirkpatrick ($p=2$) model with finite number of degrees of freedom. For fully random initial conditions we confirm that the relaxation takes place in three time regimes: a first al
gebraic one controlled by the decay of the eigenvalue distribution of the random exchange interaction matrix at its edge in the infinite size limit; a faster algebraic one determined by the distribution of the gap between the two extreme eigenvalues; and a final exponential one determined by the minimal gap sampled in the disorder average. We also analyse the finite size effects on the relaxation from initial states which are almost projected on the saddles of the potential energy landscape, and we show that for deviations scaling as $N^{- u}$ from perfect alignment the system escapes the initial configuration in a time-scale scaling as $ln N$ after which the dynamics no longer self-averages with respect to the initial conditions. We prove these statements with a combination of analytic and numerical methods.
Using Monte Carlo simulations, finite-size effects of interfacial properties in the rough phase of the Ising on a cubic lattice with $Ltimes Ltimes R$ sites are studied. In particular, magnetization profiles perpendicular to the flat interface of siz
e L$times$R are studied, with $L$ being considerably larger than $R$, in the (pre)critical temperature range. The resulting $R$-dependences are compared with predictions of the standard capillary-wave theory, in the Gaussian approximation, and with a field theory based on effective string actions, for $L$=$infty$.
Motivated by the recently observed phenomenon of topology trivialization of potential energy landscapes (PELs) for several statistical mechanics models, we perform a numerical study of the finite size $2$-spin spherical model using both numerical pol
ynomial homotopy continuation and a reformulation via non-hermitian matrices. The continuation approach computes all of the complex stationary points of this model while the matrix approach computes the real stationary points. Using these methods, we compute the average number of stationary points while changing the topology of the PEL as well as the variance. Histograms of these stationary points are presented along with an analysis regarding the complex stationary points. This work connects topology trivialization to two different branches of mathematics: algebraic geometry and catastrophe theory, which is fertile ground for further interdisciplinary research.
The equilibrium properties of a Janus fluid made of two-face particles confined to a one-dimensional channel are revisited. The exact Gibbs free energy for a finite number of particles $N$ is exactly derived for both quenched and annealed realization
s. It is proved that the results for both classes of systems tend in the thermodynamic limit ($Ntoinfty$) to a common expression recently derived (Maestre M A G and Santos A 2020 J Stat Mech 063217). The theoretical finite-size results are particularized to the Kern--Frenkel model and confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations for quenched and (both biased and unbiased) annealed systems.
Lipkin model of arbitrary particle-number N is studied in terms of exact differential-operator representation of spin-operators from which we obtain the low-lying energy spectrum with the instanton method of quantum tunneling. Our new observation is
that the well known quantum phase transition can also occur in the finite-N model only if N is an odd-number. We furthermore demonstrate a new type of quantum phase transition characterized by level-crossing which is induced by the geometric phase interference and is marvelously periodic with respect to the coupling parameter. Finally the conventional quantum phase transition is understood intuitively from the tunneling formulation in the thermodynamic limit.
