Magnetic models on various topologies

Abstract

A brief review is given on the study of the thermodynamic properties of spin models defined on different topologies like small-world, scale-free networks, random graphs and regular and random lattices. Ising, Potts and Blume-Capel models are considered. They are defined on complex lattices comprising Appolonian, Barab\'asi-Albert, Voronoi-Delauny and small-world networks. The main emphasis is given on the corresponding phase transitions, transition temperatures, critical exponents and universality, compared to those obtained by the same models on regular Bravais lattices.
