ABSTRACT
We calculate exact analytic expressions for the average cluster numbers ãkã_{Λ_{s}} on infinite-length strips Λ_{s}, with various widths, of several different lattices, as functions of the bond occupation probability p. It is proved that these expressions are rational functions of p. As special cases of our results, we obtain exact values of ãkã_{Λ_{s}} and derivatives of ãkã_{Λ_{s}} with respect to p, evaluated at the critical percolation probabilities p_{c,Λ} for the corresponding infinite two-dimensional lattices Λ. We compare these exact results with an analytic finite-size correction formula and find excellent agreement. We also analyze how unphysical poles in ãkã_{Λ_{s}} determine the radii of convergence of series expansions for small p and for p near to unity. Our calculations are performed for infinite-length strips of the square, triangular, and honeycomb lattices with several types of transverse boundary conditions.
ABSTRACT
We present generalized methods for calculating lower bounds on the ground-state entropy per site, S(0), or equivalently, the ground-state degeneracy per site, W=e(S(0)/k(B)), of the antiferromagnetic Potts model. We use these methods to derive improved lower bounds on W for several lattices.
ABSTRACT
We present exact calculations of the chromatic polynomial and resultant ground state entropy of the q-state Potts antiferromagnet on lattice strips that are homeomorphic expansions of a strip of the kagomé lattice. The dependence of the ground state entropy on the form of homeomorphic expansion is elucidated.
ABSTRACT
We calculate rigorous lower bounds for the ground-state degeneracy per site, W, of the q-state Potts antiferromagnet on slabs of the simple cubic lattice that are infinite in two directions and finite in the third and that thus interpolate between the square (sq) and simple cubic (sc) lattices. We give a comparison with large-q series expansions for the sq and sc lattices and also present numerical comparisons.

ABSTRACT
We construct asymptotically free gauge theories exhibiting dynamical breaking of the left-right gauge group G(LR)=SU(3)(c) x SU(2)(L) x SU(2)(R) x U(1)(B-L), and its extension to the Pati-Salam gauge group G(422)=SU(4)(PS) x SU(2)(L) x SU(2)(R). The models incorporate technicolor for electroweak breaking, and extended technicolor for the breaking of G(LR) and G422 and the generation of fermion masses. They include a seesaw mechanism for neutrino masses, without a grand unified theory (GUT) scale. These models explain why G(LR) and G422 break to SU(3)(c) x SU(2)(L) x U(1)(Y), and why this takes place at a scale (approximately 10(3) TeV) large compared to the electroweak scale, but much smaller than a GUT scale.
ABSTRACT
We analyze n-n* oscillations in generic models with large extra dimensions in which standard-model fields propagate and fermion wave functions have strong localization. We find that in these models n-n* oscillations might occur at levels not too far below the current limit.
