Zero-temperature Glauber dynamics on \({\mathbb{Z}^d}\) (Q639872): Difference between revisions

The zero-temperature Glauber dynamics on \(\mathbb{Z}^d\) is investigated, with Ising spins initially chosen according to a Bernoulli distribution with density \(p\). The dynamics is implemented by a continuous (and random) updating of states according to the majority rule. This corresponds to the sudden quenching of a ferromagnetic system at high temperature with an external field to one at zero temperature with no external field. The conjecture by \textit{L. R. Fontes, R. H. Schonmann} and \textit{V. Sidoravicius} [Commun. Math. Phys. 228, No. 3, 495--518 (2002; Zbl 1004.82013)] that the critical threshold for fixation at the Gibbs state is actually equal to \(1/2\) in all dimensions is proven to hold true asymptotically as \(d\rightarrow \infty \).
