Random boundary conditions are one of the simplest realizations of quenched disorder. They have been used as an illustration of various conceptual issues in the theory of disordered spin systems. Here we review some of these results.
In this contribution we discuss the role which incoherent boundary conditions can play in the study of phase transitions. This is a question of particular relevance for the analysis of disordered systems, and in particular of spin glasses. For the mo
ment our mathematical results only apply to ferromagnetic models which have an exact symmetry between low-temperature phases. We give a survey of these results and discuss possibilities to extend them to some situations where many pure states can coexist. An idea of the proofs as well as the reformulation of our results in the language of Newman-Stein metastates are also presented.
In this paper limiting distribution functions of field and density fluctuations are explicitly and rigorously computed for the different phases of the Bose gas. Several Gaussian and non-Gaussian distribution functions are obtained and the dependence
on boundary conditions is explicitly derived. The model under consideration is the free Bose gas subjected to attractive boundary conditions, such boundary conditions yield a gap in the spectrum. The presence of a spectral gap and the method of the coupled thermodynamic limits are the new aspects of this work, leading to new scaling exponents and new fluctuation distribution functions.
I present a general framework allowing to carry out explicit calculation of the moment generating function of random matrix products $Pi_n=M_nM_{n-1}cdots M_1$, where $M_i$s are i.i.d.. Following Tutubalin [Theor. Probab. Appl. {bf 10}, 15 (1965)], t
he calculation of the generating function is reduced to finding the largest eigenvalue of a certain transfer operator associated with a family of representations of the group. The formalism is illustrated by considering products of random matrices from the group $mathrm{SL}(2,mathbb{R})$ where explicit calculations are possible. For concreteness, I study in detail transfer matrix products for the one-dimensional Schrodinger equation where the random potential is a Levy noise (derivative of a Levy process). In this case, I obtain a general formula for the variance of $ln||Pi_n||$ and for the variance of $ln|psi(x)|$, where $psi(x)$ is the wavefunction, in terms of a single integral involving the Fourier transform of the invariant density of the matrix product. Finally I discuss the continuum limit of random matrix products (matrices close to the identity ). In particular, I investigate a simple case where the spectral problem providing the generalized Lyapunov exponent can be solved exactly.
The present paper is devoted to new, improved bounds for the eigenfunctions of random operators in the localized regime. We prove that, in the localized regime with good probability, each eigenfunction is exponentially decaying outside a ball of a ce
rtain radius, which we call the localization onset length. For $ell>0$ large, we count the number of eigenfunctions having onset length larger than $ell$ and find it to be smaller than $exp(-Cell)$ times the total number of eigenfunctions in the system. Thus, most eigenfunctions localize on finite size balls independent of the system size.
We extend a recent analysis of the $q$-states Potts model on an ensemble of random planar graphs with $pleqslant q$ allowed, equally weighted, spins on a connected boundary. In this paper we explore the $(q<4,pleqslant q)$ parameter space of finite-s
heeted resolvents and derive the associated critical exponents. By definition a value of $q$ is allowed if there is a $p=1$ solution, and we reproduce the long-known result that $q= 2(1+cos{frac{m}{n} pi})$ with $m,n$ coprime. In addition we find that there are two distinct sequences of solutions, one of which contains $p=2$ and $p=q/2$ while the other does not. The boundary condition $p=3$ appears only for $q=3$ which also has a $p=3/2$ boundary condition; we conjecture that this new solution corresponds in the scaling limit to the New boundary condition, discovered on the flat lattice by Affleck et al. We also explore Kramers-Wannier duality for $q=3$ in this context and explicitly construct the known boundary conditions; we show that the mixed boundary condition is dual to a boundary condition on dual graphs that corresponds to Affleck et als identification of the New boundary condition on fixed lattices. On the other hand we find that the mixed boundary condition of the dual, and the corresponding New boundary condition of the original theory are not described by conventional resolvents.
