Bayesian critical points in classical lattice models
read the original abstract
The Boltzmann distribution encodes our subjective knowledge of the configuration in a classical lattice model, given only its Hamiltonian. If we acquire further information about the configuration from measurement, our knowledge is updated according to Bayes' theorem. We examine the resulting "conditioned ensembles", finding that they show many new phase transitions and new renormalization-group fixed points. (Similar conditioned ensembles also describe "partial quenches" in which some of the system's degrees of freedom are instantaneously frozen, while the others continue to evolve.) After describing general features of the replica field theories for these problems, we analyze the effect of measurement on illustrative critical systems, including: critical Ising and Potts models, which show surprisingly rich phase diagrams, with RG fixed points at weak, intermediate, and infinite measurement strength; various models involving free fields, XY spins, or flux lines in 2D or 3D; and geometrical models such as polymers or clusters. We make connections with quantum dynamics, in particular with "charge sharpening" in 1D, by giving a formalism for measurement of classical stochastic processes: e.g. we give a purely hydrodynamic derivation of the known effective field theory for charge sharpening. We discuss qualitative differences between RG flows for the above measured systems, described by $N\to 1$ replica limits, and those for disordered systems, described by $N\to 0$ limits. In addition to discussing measurement of critical states, we give a unifying treatment of a family of inference problems for non-critical states. These are related to the Nishimori line in the phase diagram of the random-bond Ising model, and are relevant to various quantum error correction problems. We describe distinct physical interpretations of conditioned ensembles and note interesting open questions.

Bayesian phase transition for the critical Ising model: Enlarged replica symmetry in the epsilon expansion and in 2D
Measurement phases in the critical Ising model exhibit an enlarged replica symmetry, analogous to the Nishimori phenomenon, that exactly determines the Edwards-Anderson correlator exponent in 2D and near six dimensions.

Measurement-Induced Entanglement in Conformal Field Theory
Measurement-induced entanglement in Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids is universal, conformally invariant, and arises from Born-rule averaging over conformally invariant boundary conditions in the CFT.

Local Markov Order and Global Inference in Many-Body Dynamics
In the monitored symmetric exclusion process, the local Markovianization timescale tracks the global-charge learnability timescale and diverges in the charge-fuzzy phase.

Universality of Measurement-Induced Criticality under Symmetry-Breaking Measurements
In U(1)-symmetric monitored random circuits, symmetry-breaking measurements drive the entanglement transition to the non-symmetric universality class and keep the charge correlation length finite at any measurement rate.
