--- res: bibo_abstract: - We consider Ising models in two and three dimensions with nearest neighbor ferromagnetic interactions and long-range, power law decaying, antiferromagnetic interactions. If the strength of the ferromagnetic coupling J is larger than a critical value Jc, then the ground state is homogeneous and ferromagnetic. As the critical value is approached from smaller values of J, it is believed that the ground state consists of a periodic array of stripes (d=2) or slabs (d=3), all of the same size and alternating magnetization. Here we prove rigorously that the ground state energy per site converges to that of the optimal periodic striped or slabbed state, in the limit that J tends to the ferromagnetic transition point. While this theorem does not prove rigorously that the ground state is precisely striped or slabbed, it does prove that in any suitably large box the ground state is striped or slabbed with high probability.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Alessandro foaf_name: Giuliani, Alessandro foaf_surname: Giuliani - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Élliott foaf_name: Lieb, Élliott foaf_surname: Lieb - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Robert foaf_name: Seiringer, Robert foaf_surname: Seiringer foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=4AFD0470-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0002-6781-0521 bibo_doi: 10.1103/PhysRevB.88.064401 bibo_issue: '6' bibo_volume: 88 dct_date: 2013^xs_gYear dct_language: eng dct_publisher: American Physical Society@ dct_title: Realization of stripes and slabs in two and three dimensions@ ...
