Quasi-polynomial mixing of the 2D stochastic Ising model with ``plus'' boundary up to criticality (Q1940817): Difference between revisions

One of the most fundamental problems (not yet solved) in the study of the stochastic Ising model is the understanding of the system's behaviour in the phase-coexistence region under homogeneous boundary condition. Among all related questions is the determination of upper bound on the mixing at the phase-coexistence region under the all-plus boundary. Some estimates have been previously derived and here one improves these results into an upper bound of logarithm order \((\log L)\) on the mixing-time (i.e. quasi-polynomial in the side-length \(L\)). The framework refers mainly to the Glauber dynamics for the Ising model.
