Rounding of First-Order Phase Transitions in Systems with Quenched Disorder
Michael Aizenman,Jan Wehr +1 more
TL;DR: For random-field models, this work rigorously proves uniqueness of the Gibbs state 2D Ising systems, and absence of continuous symmetry breaking in the Heisenberg model in d\ensuremath{\le}4, as predicted by Imry and Ma.

Sharpness of the phase transition in percolation models
Michael Aizenman,David J. Barsky +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the equality of two critical points -the percolation threshold pH and the point pτ where the cluster size distribution ceases to decay exponentially -is proven for all translation invariant independent per-colation models on homogeneous d-dimensional lattices.
Geometric analysis of φ4 fields and Ising models. Parts I and II
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the φ4 Euclidean field theory with a lattice cut-off is inevitably free in the single phase regime in ind>4 dimensions, and that the critical behavior in Ising models is in exact agreement with the mean-field approximation in high dimensions, but not in the low dimensiond=2.
Rounding effects of quenched randomness on first-order phase transitions
Michael Aizenman,Jan Wehr +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the Gibbs state is unique for almost all field configurations, and that the vanishing of the latent heat at the transition point can be explained by the randomness in dimensions d ≥ 4.
