Geometry and Dynamics in Zero Temperature Statistical Mechanics Models

We consider several models whose motivation arises from statistical mechanics. We begin by investigating some families of distributions of translation invariant subgraphs of some Cayley graphs, and in particular subgraphs of the square lattice. We then discuss some properties of the Spin-Glass model in that lattice. We continue in describing some properties of the Spin-Glass models in some other graphs. The last two parts of this work are devoted to the understanding of two dynamical processes on graphs. The first one is the well known zero-temperature Glauber dynamics on some families of graphs. The second dynamics, which we call the Loop Dynamics, is a natural generalization of the zero-temperature Glauber dynamics, which appears to have some interesting properties. We analyzed some of its properties for planar lattices, though the exact same techniques are applied for larger families of graphs as well
