The O$(N)$ vector model in the presence of a boundary has a non-trivial fixed point in $(4-\epsilon)$ dimensions and exhibits critical behaviors described by boundary conformal field theory. The spectrum of boundary operators is…
We revisit the classic $O(N)$ symmetric scalar field theories in $d$ dimensions with interaction $(\phi^i \phi^i)^2$. For $2<d<4$ these theories flow to the Wilson-Fisher fixed points for any $N$. A standard large $N$ Hubbard-Stratonovich…
Duality transformation, which relates a high-temperature phase to a low-temperature one, is used exactly to determine the critical point for several models (2D Ising, Potts, Ashkin-Teller, 8-vertex), as the self dual condition. By changing…
We present a unified perspective on symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases in one dimension and address the open question of what characterizes their phase transitions. In the first part of this work we use symmetry as a guide to map…

Ashkin-Teller model is a two-layer lattice model where spins in each layer interact ferromagnetically with strength $J$, and the spin-dipoles (product of spins) interact with neighbors with strength $\lambda.$ The model exhibits…
