We find a first order Coulomb--Higgs phase transition at moderately large values of the coupling $\lambda$, and no evidence for a change of order at any finite value of it.
We give a potential-theoretic characterization of priors which have the property that the corresponding Coulomb gas is "well-behaved" and similarly for more general Riesz gases. This means that the laws of the empirical measures of the…
We have considered the model of the phase transition of the second order for the Coulomb frustrated 2D charged system. The coupling of the order parameter with the charge was considered as the local temperature. We have found that in such…
