  2. Potts model - Wikipedia

    that is, the set of all possible strings where k+1 spins match up exactly to a given, specific set of values ξ 0, ..., ξ k. Explicit representations for the cylinder sets can be gotten by noting that the string of values corresponds to a q -adic number , however the natural topology of the q-adic numbers is finer than the above product topology.

  3. Spin network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_network

    Spin network diagram, after Penrose In physics , a spin network is a type of diagram which can be used to represent states and interactions between particles and fields in quantum mechanics . From a mathematical perspective, the diagrams are a concise way to represent multilinear functions and functions between representations of matrix groups .

  4. Angular momentum coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum_coupling

    In atomic physics, spin–orbit coupling, also known as spin-pairing, describes a weak magnetic interaction, or coupling, of the particle spin and the orbital motion of this particle, e.g. the electron spin and its motion around an atomic nucleus. One of its effects is to separate the energy of internal states of the atom, e.g. spin-aligned and ...

  5. AKLT model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AKLT_model

    In condensed matter physics, an AKLT model, also known as an Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki model is an extension of the one-dimensional quantum Heisenberg spin model.The proposal and exact solution of this model by Ian Affleck, Elliott H. Lieb, Tom Kennedy and Hal Tasaki [] [1] provided crucial insight into the physics of the spin-1 Heisenberg chain.

  6. Spin structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_structure

    When a manifold carries a spin C structure at all, the set of spin C structures forms an affine space. Moreover, the set of spin C structures has a free transitive action of H 2 (M, Z). Thus, spin C-structures correspond to elements of H 2 (M, Z) although not in a natural way.

  7. Spin (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(physics)

    The conventional definition of the spin quantum number is s = ⁠ n / 2 ⁠, where n can be any non-negative integer. Hence the allowed values of s are 0, ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, 1, ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠, 2, etc. The value of s for an elementary particle depends only on the type of particle and cannot be altered in any known way (in contrast to the spin ...

  8. Spin model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_model

    A spin model is a mathematical model used in physics primarily to explain magnetism. Spin models may either be classical or quantum mechanical in nature. Spin models have been studied in quantum field theory as examples of integrable models. Spin models are also used in quantum information theory and computability theory in theoretical computer ...

  9. Classical XY model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_XY_model

    The existence of the thermodynamic limit for the free energy and spin correlations were proved by Ginibre, extending to this case the Griffiths inequality. [3]Using the Griffiths inequality in the formulation of Ginibre, Aizenman and Simon [4] proved that the two point spin correlation of the ferromagnetics XY model in dimension D, coupling J > 0 and inverse temperature β is dominated by (i.e ...
