Explore the phenomenon of mixed order phase transitions in physical systems as discussed by David Mukamel and Amir Bar. Examples include the Ising model, Poland-Scheraga model, and jamming transitions. Discover insights into the IDSI model and its exact solubility, as well as the extreme Thouless effect observed.

Phase transitions of mixed order (a) diverging length ? as in second order transitions ?~? ? or ?~?1/?? (b) discontinuous order parameter as in first order transitions

Summary Some models exhibiting mixed order transitions are discussed. A variant of the inverse distance square Ising model is studied and shown to have an extreme Thouless effect, even in the presence of a magnetic field Relation to the IDSI model is studies by comparing the renormalization group transformation of the two models. The model exhibits interesting coarsening dynamics at criticality.
