Jesper-Lykke Jacobsen 1, Paul Zinn-Justin 1 Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications 10 (2001) 1233-1267 We propose a transfer matrix algorithm for the enumeration of alternating link diagrams with external legs, giving a weight $n$ to each connected component. Considering more general tetravalent diagrams with self-intersections and tangencies allows us to treat topological (flype) equivalences. This is done […]

Jérôme Houdayer 1, Olivier C. Martin 2 Physical Review E: Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics 64 (2001) 056704 We describe a numerical algorithm for computing spin glass ground states with a high level of reliability. The method uses a population based search and applies optimization on multiple scales. Benchmarks are given leading to estimates of the performance on large

Silvio Franz 1, Marc Mézard 2, Federico Ricci-Tersenghi 1, Martin Weigt 3, Riccardo Zecchina 1 Europhysics Letters (EPL) 55 (2001) 465 We introduce a finite-connectivity ferromagnetic model with a three-spin interaction which has a crystalline (ferromagnetic) phase as well as a glass phase. The model is not frustrated, it has a ferromagnetic equilibrium phase at low temperature which is not reached dynamically in a quench

Olivier Benichou 1, 2, Jean Desbois 2 Journal of Physics A 33 (2000) 6655-6665 We study long time dynamical properties of a chain of harmonically bound Brownian particles. This chain is allowed to wander everywhere in the plane. We show that the scaling variables for the occupation times T_j, areas A_j and winding angles \theta_j (j=1,…,n labels the particles) take

N. Kirova 1, S. Brazovskii 1 Journal de Physique IV Colloque 10 (2000) 3-189 The rich order parameter of Spin Density Waves allows for unusual object of a complex topological nature: a half-integer dislocation combined with a semi-vortex of a staggered magnetization. It becomes energetically preferable to ordinary dislocation due to enhanced Coulomb interactions in the semiconducting regime. Generation

Olivier Benichou 1, 2, Jean Desbois 2 Journal of Statistical Physics 101 (2000) 921-931 We study various dynamical properties (winding angles, areas) of a set of harmonically bound Brownian particles (monomers), one endpoint of this chain being kept fixed at the origin 0. In particular, we show that, for long times t, the areas {A_i} enclosed by the monomers scale
