Using the scaling relation of the ground state quantum fidelity, we propose the most generic scaling relations of the irreversible work (the residual energy) of a closed quantum system at absolute zero temperature when one of the parameters…
We study correlations in fermionic lattice systems with long-range interactions in thermal equilibrium. We prove a bound on the correlation decay between anti-commuting operators and generalize a long-range Lieb-Robinson type bound. Our…
Quantum Heisenberg ferromagnets with long-range interactions decayin as $1/r^p$ in one and two dimensions are investigated by means of the Green's function method. It is shown that there exists a finite-temperature phase transition in the…
Interacting fermionic chains exhibit extended regions of topological degeneracy of their ground states as a result of the presence of Majorana or parafermionic zero modes localized at the edges. In the opposite limit of infinite…
We formulate a mixed-state analog of the NLTS conjecture [FH14] by asking whether there exist topologically-ordered systems for which the thermal Gibbs state for constant temperature is globally-entangled in the sense that it cannot even be…
We present a class of examples of nearest-neighbour, boubded-spin models, in which the low-temperature Gibbs measures do not converge as the temperature is lowered to zero, in any dimension.
DNA denaturation, wetting in two dimensions, depinning of a flux line, and other problems map onto a phase transition with effective long range interaction. It yields giant non-universal critical indexes, arbitrarily large macroscopic…

The local thermodynamics of a system with long-range interactions in d dimensions is studied using the mean-field approximation. Long-range interactions are introduced through pair interaction potentials that decay as a power law in the…
It is shown analytically and numerically that the finite-temperature many-body perturbation theory in the grand canonical ensemble has zero radius of convergence at zero temperature when the energy ordering or degree of degeneracy for the…
The (2+1)D Georgi-Glashow model is explored at finite temperature in the regime when the Higgs boson is not infinitely heavy. The resulting Higgs-mediated interaction of monopoles leads to the appearance of a certain upper bound for the…
We study the flexibility of the pressure function of a continuous potential (observable) with respect to a parameter regarded as the inverse temperature. The points of non-differentiability of this function are of particular interest in…
The one-loop effective potential for gauge models in static de Sitter space at finite temperatures is computed by means of the $\zeta$--function method. We found a simple relation which links the effective potentials of gauge and scalar…

An approximate partition functional is derived for the infinite-dimensional Hubbard model. This functional naturally includes the exact solution of the Falicov-Kimball model as a special case, and is exact in the uncorrelated and atomic…
We prove that when the Aubry set for a Lipschitz continuous potential is a subshift of finite type, then the pressure function converges exponentially fast to its asymptote as the temperature goes to 0. The speed of convergence turns out to…
We examine the entanglement of thermal states of n spins interacting through different types of XY couplings in the presence of a magnetic field, by evaluating the negativities of all possible bipartite partitions of the whole system and of…
