Continuous- and discrete-time Glauber dynamics. First- and second-order phase transitions in mean-field Potts models
As is known, at the Gibbs-Boltzmann equilibrium, the mean-field q-state Potts model with a ferromagnetic coupling has only a first-order phase transition when q � 3, while there is no phase transition for an antiferromagnetic coupling. The same equilibrium is asymptotically reached when one consi...
