Theorems and Conjectures on the Droplet-Driven Relaxation of Stochastic Ising Models

Abstract

Recent rigorous results on droplet-driven relaxation of stochastic Ising models in the vicinity of the phase transition region are reviewed. Further conjectures are raised based on the same sort of heuristic picture which suggested the proven results, and some new results on these lines are announced and some of their proofs sketched.
