J. Boutet De Monvel 1, Olivier C. Martin 2 COMBINATORICA 22 (2002) 523-530 Let $L_N = L_{MBM}(X_1,…, X_N; Y_1,…, Y_N)$ be the minimum length of a bipartite matching between two sets of points in $\mathbf{R}^d$, where $X_1,…, X_N,…$ and $Y_1,…, Y_N,…$ are random points independently and uniformly distributed in $[0,1]^d$. We prove that for $d \ge 3$, $L_N/N^{1-1/d}$ converges with […]

Florent Krzakala 1, Olivier C. Martin 1 Physical Review Letters 89 (2002) 267202 Using ground state computations, we study the transition from a spin glass to a ferromagnet in 3-d spin glasses when changing the mean value of the spin-spin interaction. We find good evidence for replica symmetry breaking up till the critical value where ferromagnetic ordering sets in, and

Jesper-Lykke Jacobsen 1, Paul Zinn-Justin 1 Journal of Physics A 35 (2002) 2131-2144 Rephrasing the backbone of two-dimensional percolation as a monochromatic path crossing problem, we investigate the latter by a transfer matrix approach. Conformal invariance links the backbone dimension D_b to the highest eigenvalue of the transfer matrix T, and we obtain the result D_b=1.6431 \pm 0.0006. For

Jesper-Lykke Jacobsen 1, Paul Zinn-Justin 1 Journal of Knot and its Theoretical Ramifications 11 (2002) 739-758 We propose a new method to enumerate alternating knots using a transfer matrix approach. We apply it to count numerically various objects, including prime alternating tangles with two connected components, up to order 18–22, and comment on the large-order behavior in connection with

Serguei Matveenko 1, Serguei Brazovskii 2 Physical Review B 65 (2002) 245108 For a one-dimensional electron-phonon system we consider the photon absorption involving electronic excitations within the pseudogap energy range. Within the adiabatic approximation for the electron – phonon interactions these processes are described by nonlinear configurations of an instanton type. We calculate intensities of the photoelectron spectroscopy PES

Journal of Statistical Physics, Springer Verlag, 2001, 103 (1-2), pp.269-282. ⟨10.1023/A:1004875804376⟩. ⟨hal-03282975⟩ We study the effect of the noise due to microscopic fluctuations on the position of a one dimensional front propagating from a stable to an unstable region

Florent Krzakala 1, Jérôme Houdayer 2, Enzo Marinari 3, Olivier C. Martin 1, Giorgio Parisi 3 Physical Review Letters 87 (2001) 197204 We probe the energy landscape of the 3D Edwards-Anderson spin glass in a magnetic field to test for a spin glass ordering. We find that the spin glass susceptibility is anomalously large on the lattice sizes we can reach. Our data suggest that a

We show that structural defects and intentionally X-ray radiation-damaged regions

John Cardy 1, Jesper-Lykke Jacobsen 2, Alan D. Sokal 3 Journal of Statistical Physics 105 (2001) 25-47 At zero temperature, the 3-state antiferromagnetic Potts model on a square lattice maps exactly onto a point of the 6-vertex model whose long-distance behavior is equivalent to that of a free scalar boson. We point out that at nonzero temperature there are two distinct types
