Conventional ordering transitions, described by the Landau paradigm, are characterized by the symmetries broken at the critical point. Within the constrained manifold occurring at low temperatures in certain frustrated systems,…
We analyse the critical properties of a weakly diluted (random) Ising model with the long-range interaction decaying with distance $x$ as $\sim x^{-d-\sigma}$ in a $d$-dimensional space. It is known to belong to a new long-range random…
It is proposed that the $O(n)$ spin and geometrical percolation models can help to study the QCD phase diagram due to the universality properties of the phase transition. In this paper, correlations and fluctuations of various sizes of…
We present a unifying, consistent, finite-size-scaling picture for percolation theory bringing it into the framework of a general, renormalization-group-based, scaling scheme for systems above their upper critical dimensions $d_c$.…
The approach to equilibrium, from a nonequilibrium initial state, in a system at its critical point is usually described by a scaling theory with a single growing length scale, $\xi(t) \sim t^{1/z}$, where z is the dynamic exponent that…

A fluctuating non-ideal fluid at its critical point is simulated with the Lattice Boltzmann method. It is demonstrated that the method, employing a Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional, correctly reproduces the static critical behavior…
A field-theoretical description of the behavior of compressible Ising systems with long-range interactions is presented. The description is performed in the two-loop approximation in three dimensions with the use of the Pade-Borel…
We show that finite size scaling techniques can be employed to study the glass transition. Our results follow from the postulate of a diverging correlation length at the glass transition whose physical manifestation is the presence of…
We explicitly compute the critical exponents associated with logarithmic corrections (the so-called hatted exponents) starting from the renormalization group equations and the mean field behavior for a wide class of models at the upper…
We study numerically the scaling correction to the internal energy per spin as a function of system size and temperature in a variety of Ising and vector spin glasses. From a standard scaling analysis we estimate the effective size…
We present a unified view of finite-size scaling (FSS) in dimension d above the upper critical dimension, for both free and periodic boundary conditions. We find that the modified FSS proposed some time ago to allow for violation of…
Using an approach to analyze the theta dependence of systems with a theta-term we recently proposed, the critical behavior of CP^1 at theta=pi is studied. We find a region outside the strong coupling regime where Haldane's conjecture is…
Recently, a novel model to describe ordering in systems comprising agents which, although matching in their binarity (i.e., maintaining the iconic Ising features of ``+'' or ``-'', ``up'' or ``down'', ``yes'' or ``no''), still differing in…
After having introduced the notion of universality in statistical mechanics and its importance for our comprehension of the macroscopic behavior of interacting systems, I review recent progress in the understanding of the scaling limit of…
