Phase transition in the spanning-hyperforest model on complete hypergraphs (2009)

Bedini, Andrea, Caracciolo, Sergio, Sportiello, Andrea

By using our novel Grassmann formulation we study the phase transition of the spanning-hyperforest model of the k-uniform complete hypergraph for any k>= 2. The case k=2 reduces to the...

New critical exponents for percolation and the random-cluster model (2009)

Deng, Youjin, Zhang, Wei, Garoni, Timothy M., Sokal, Alan D., Sportiello, Andrea

We introduce several infinite families of new critical exponents for the random-cluster model, and give heuristic scaling arguments determining all but one of these exponents as a function of q in...

Spanning Forests on Random Planar Lattices (2009)

Caracciolo, Sergio, Sportiello, Andrea

The generating function for spanning forests on a lattice is related to the q-state Potts model in a certain q -> 0 limit, and extends the analogous notion for spanning trees, or dense self-avoiding...
