Metastability for the Ising model on the hexagonal lattice
@article{Apollonio2021MetastabilityFT, title={Metastability for the Ising model on the hexagonal lattice}, author={Valentina Apollonio and Vanessa Jacquier and Francesca R. Nardi and Alessio Troiani}, journal={Electronic Journal of Probability}, year={2021} }
We consider the Ising model on the hexagonal lattice evolving according to Metropolis dynamics. We study its metastable behavior in the limit of vanishing temperature when the system is immersed in a small external magnetic field. We determine the asymptotic properties of the transition time from the metastable to the stable state up to a multiplicative factor and study the mixing time and the spectral gap of the Markov process. We give a geometrical description of the critical configurations…
