We study fixed points of the easy-plane $\mathbb{CP}^{N-1}$ field theory by combining quantum Monte Carlo simulations of lattice models of easy-plane SU($N$) superfluids with field theoretic renormalization group calculations, by using…
In this letter we study the self-energy of a point-like charge for the electromagnetic field in a non minimal Lorentz symmetry breaking scenario in a $n+1$ dimensional space time. We consider two variations of a model where the Lorentz…

We discuss static particle-like solitons in the 2+1 dimensional CP(1) model with a small mass deformation $m$ preserving a $U(1) \times Z_2$ symmetry in the Lagrangian. Due to the breaking of scale invariance, the energy function becomes a…
The topological susceptibility of $2d$ $\mathrm{CP}^{N-1}$ models is expected, based on perturbative computations, to develop a divergence in the limit $N \to 2$, where these models reduce to the well-known non-linear $\mathrm{O}(3)$…
The large-n expansion is developed for the study of critical behaviour of d-dimensional systems at m-axial Lifshitz points with an arbitrary number m of modulation axes. The leading non-trivial contributions of O(1/n) are derived for the…
We develop a perturbative framework with which to discuss departures from exact Lorentz invariance and explore their potentially observable ramifications. Tiny non-invariant terms introduced into the standard model Lagrangian are assumed to…
We consider Lifshitz criticality (LC) with the dynamical critical exponent $z=2$ in one-dimensional interacting fermions with a filled Dirac Sea. We report that interactions have crucial effects on Lifshitz criticality. Single particle…
The Lebwohl-Lasher model describes the isotropic-nematic transition in liquid crystals. In two dimensions, where its continuous symmetry cannot break spontaneously, it is investigated numerically since decades to verify, in particular, the…
We consider a general one-dimensional tight-binding electron model which has a period $P$. For any filling factor $\nu$ such that $P\nu$ is non-integral, we prove that the model in the infinite volume limit has either a symmetry breaking or…
The large-$N$ nonlinear $O(N)$, $CP^{N-1}$ $\sigma$ models are studied on $R^2 \times S^1$. The $N$-components scalar fields of the models are supposed to acquire a phase $e^{i2\pi\delta}$ $(0\leq \delta <1)$, along the circulation of the…
We consider non-supersymmetric two-dimensional CP(N-1) model deformed by a term presenting the bosonic part of the twisted mass deformation of N=2 supersymmetric version of the model. Our deformation has a special form preserving a Z_N…
We (1) construct a one-parameter family of lattice models of interacting spins; (2) obtain their exact ground states; (3) derive a statistical-mechanical analogy which relates their ground states to O(n) loop gases; (4) show that the models…
If Lorentz symmetry is violated at high energies, interactions that are usually non-renormalizable can become renormalizable by weighted power counting. Recently, a CPT invariant, Lorentz violating extension of the Standard Model containing…
We study the vacuum stability of a model of massless scalar and fermionic fields minimally coupled to a Chern-Simons field. The classical Lagrangian only involves dimensionless parameters, and the model can be thought as a (2+1) dimensional…
