The investigation of the behavior of both classical and quantum systems on non-Euclidean surfaces near the phase transition point represents an interesting research area of modern physics. In the case of classical spin systems, a…
General conditions are formulated that allow to determine which quantum phase transitions in itinerant electron systems can be described by a local Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson or LGW theory solely in terms of the order parameter. A crucial…

The global symmetry, either invertible or non-invertible, has been extensively studied in two dimensional conformal field theories in recent years. When the theory is defined on a manifold with open boundaries, however, many interesting…
Contrary to canonical expectations we show that lattice translational symmetry breaking often accompanies uniformly ordered flux phases. We demonstrate this phenomena by studying a spinless-fermion model on a square latttice with…
We introduce a new set of one dimensional quantum lattice models which we refer to as The quantum torus chain. These models have discrete global symmetry, and projective on-site representations. They possess an integer-valued parameter…
We investigate the critical parameters of an order-disorder quantum phase transitions in the spin-1/2 $J-J'$ Heisenberg and XY antiferromagnets on square lattice. Basing on the excitation gaps calculated by exact diagonalization technique…
An alternative definition for the order-parameter is proposed, for a family of non-equilibrium spin models with up-down symmetry on honeycomb lattices, and which depends on two parameters. In contrast to the usual definition, our proposal…
We show that the ground-state expectation value of twisting operator is a topological order parameter for $\text{U}(1)$- and $\mathbb{Z}_{N}$-symmetric symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases in one-dimensional "spin" systems -- it is…
