We study the symmetry behavior of the Gross-Neveu model in three and two dimensions with random chemical potential. This is equivalent to a four-fermion model with charge conjugation symmetry as well as Z_2 chiral symmetry. At high…
The seminal work of Coleman, Glaser, and Martin established that, at zero temperature, any non-trivial solution to the equations of motion with the least Euclidean action is $O(D)$-symmetric. This paper extends their foundational analysis…
The presently observed cosmological baryon asymmetry has been finally determined at the time of the electroweak phase transition, when baryon and lepton number violating interactions fell out of thermal equilibrium. We discuss the…
We consider the two-dimensional BCS functional with a radial pair interaction. We show that the translational symmetry is not broken in a certain temperature interval below the critical temperature. In the case of vanishing angular momentum…
We consider the homogeneous Bose gas in the three-dimensional unit torus, where $N$ particles interact via a two-body potential of the form $N^{-1} v(x)$. The system is studied at inverse temperatures of order $N^{-2/3}$, which corresponds…
Discrete symmetry breaking and possible restoration at finite temperature $T$ are analysed in 2D Gross-Neveu model by the real-time thermal field theory in the fermion bubble approximation. The dynamical fermion mass $m$ is proven to be…
We analyze chiral restoration within the $O(N+1)/O(N)$ Non-Linear Sigma Model for large $N$ as an effective theory for low-energy QCD at finite temperature $T$. The free energy is constructed diagramatically to ${\cal O}(TM^3)$ in the pion…
Using the nonperturbative renormalization group, we study the existence of bound states in the symmetry-broken phase of the scalar $\phi^4$ theory in all dimensions between two and four and as a function of the temperature. The accurate…
We investigate the full U(3)$\otimes$U(3) chiral symmetry restoration, at finite temperature and density, on the basis of a quark model which incorporates the most relevant properties of QCD in this context: explicit and spontaneous…
We investigate critical phenomena in the $O(2)$ models using symmetry-twisted partition functions that can be efficiently computed within the tensor renormalization group framework. We first demonstrate, taking the three-dimensional model…
We construct the black hole geometry dual to the deconfined phase of the BMN matrix model at strong 't Hooft coupling. We approach this solution from the limit of large temperature where it is approximately that of the non-extremal D0-brane…
The proceeding comment raises a few points concerning our paper Dantchev \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. E. {\bf 89}, 042116 (2014). In this reply we stress that while Refs. Diehl \textit{et al.} EPL {\bf 100}, 10004 (2012) and Phys. Rev. E.…
In order to generate the baryon asymmetry of the Universe sufficiently strong CP violation is needed. It was therefore proposed that at finite temperature there might be spontaneous (transitional) CP violation within the bubble walls at the…
We consider the two dimensional motion of a particle into a confining potential, subjected to Brownian forces, associated with two different temperatures on the orthogonal directions. Exact solutions are obtained for an asymmetric harmonic…
The temperature behaviour of meson condensates $<\sigma_0>$ and $<\sigma_8>$ is calculated in the $SU(3)\times SU(3)$-linear sigma model. The couplings of the Lagrangian are fitted to the physical $\pi,K,\eta,\eta'$ masses, the pion decay…
The gauge glass model offers an interesting example of a randomly frustrated system with a continuous O(2) symmetry. In two dimensions, the existence of a glass phase at low temperatures has long been disputed among numerical studies. To…
We consider an O(N) symmetric scalar field model in the mean field (Hartree) approximation and show that the symmetry can be broken in de Sitter space. We find that the phase transition can be of first order, and that its strength depends…
We discuss unusual aspects of symmetry that can happen due to entropic effects in the context of multi-scalar field theories at finite temperature. We present their consequences, in special, for the case of nonrelativistic models of hard…
We investigate whether spontaneous symmetry breaking can persist up to arbitrarily high temperature in ultraviolet-complete quantum field theories in four spacetime dimensions. We focus on completely asymptotically free models with gauge…
We consider the thawing model in the framework of coupled quintessence model. The effective potential has $Z_2$ symmetry which is broken spontaneously when the dark matter density becomes less than a critical value leading the quintessence…
