Infinite Random Graphs as Statistical Mechanical Models

Durhuus, Bergfinnur and Napolitano, George LU (2011) In Acta Physica Polonica. Series B: Elementary Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics, Statistical Physics, Theory of Relativity, Field Theory 4(3). p.287-304
Abstract
We discuss two examples of infinite random graphs obtained as limits

of finite statistical mechanical systems: a model of two-dimensional dis-cretized quantum gravity defined in terms of causal triangulated surfaces, and the Ising model on generic random trees. For the former model we describe a relation to the so-called uniform infinite tree and results on the Hausdorff and spectral dimension of two-dimensional space-time obtained in B. Durhuus, T. Jonsson, J.F. Wheater, J. Stat. Phys. 139, 859 (2010) are briefly outlined. For the latter we discuss results on the absence of spontaneous magnetization and argue that, in the generic case, the values of the Hausdorff and spectral dimension of the underlying infinite trees are not...
