We investigate the QCD phase diagram in the strong-coupling lattice QCD with fluctuation and $1/g^2$ effects by using the auxiliary field Monte-Carlo simulations. The complex phase of the Fermion determinant at finite chemical potential is…
For compact U(1) lattice gauge theory (LGT) we have performed a finite size scaling analysis on $N_{\tau} N_s^3$ lattices for $N_{\tau}$ fixed and $N_s\to\infty$, approaching the phase transition from the confined phase. For $N_{\tau}=4$, 5…

We study the phase diagram and the commensurate-incommensurate transitions in a phase field model of a two-dimensional crystal lattice in the presence of an external pinning potential. The model allows for both elastic and plastic…
The phase diagram of lattice QCD in the strong coupling limit can be measured in the full $\mu$-$T$ plane, also in the chiral limit. In particular, the phase diagram in the chiral limit features a tricritical point at some $(\mu_c,T_c)$.…
A quantum critical point is approached by applying pressure in a number of magnetic metals. The observed dependence of Tc on pressure necessarily means that the magnetic energy is coupled to the lattice. A first order phase transition…
In statistical physics, one of the standard methods to study second order phase transitions is the renormalization group that usually leads to an expansion around the corresponding fully connected solution. Unfortunately, often in…
