OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
High-density hard-core configurations on a triangular lattice
The high-density hard-core configuration model has attracted attention for quite a long time. The first rigorous results about the phase transition on a lattice with a nearest-neighbor exclusion where published by Dobrushin in 1968. In 1979, Baxter calculated the free energy and specified the critical point on a triangular lattice with a nearest-neighbor exclusion; in 1980 Andrews gave a rigorous proof of Baxter’s calculation with the help of Ramanujan’s identities. On a square lattice the nearest-neighbor exclusion critical point has been estimated from above and below in a series by a number of authors.
We analyze the hard-core model on a triangular lattice and identify the extreme Gibbs measures (pure phases) for high densities. Depending on arithmetic properties of the hard-core diameter $D$, the number of pure phases equals either $D^2$ or $2D^2$. A classification of possible cases can be given in terms of Eisenstein primes.
If the time allows, I will mention 3D analogs of some of these results.
This is a joint work with A Mazel and I Stuhl; cf. arXiv:1803.04041. No special knowledge will be assumed from the audience.
