We discuss the distribution of partition function zeros for the grand-canonical ensemble of the zeta-urn model, where tuning a single parameter can give a first or any higher order condensation transition. We compute the locus of zeros for…
Livine and Bonzom recently proposed a geometric formula for a certain set of complex zeros of the partition function of the Ising model defined on planar graphs. Remarkably, the zeros depend locally on the geometry of an immersion of the…
The gradient property of the renormalisation group (RG) is examined to four-loop order in scalar-fermion systems in $d=4$ and $d=4-\varepsilon$ dimensions. The crucial role played by the beta shift, which is a modification of the standard…

Efficient discretisations of gauge groups are crucial with the long term perspective of using tensor networks or quantum computers for lattice gauge theory simulations. For any Lie group other than U$(1)$, however, there is no class of…
We examine the phase structure of the two-flavor Schwinger model as a function of the $\theta$-angle and the two masses, $m_1$ and $m_2$. In particular, we find interesting effects at $\theta=\pi$: along the $SU(2)$-invariant line $m_1 =…
The microcanonical transfer matrix is used to study the distribution of the Fisher zeros of the $Q>2$ Potts models in the complex temperature plane with nonzero external magnetic field $H_q$. Unlike the Ising model for $H_q\ne0$ which has…
The magnetic phase transition in a Heisenberg fluid is studied by means of the finite size scaling (FSS) technique. We find that even for larger systems, considered in an ensemble with fixed density, the critical exponents show deviations…
This paper explores the use of a cumulant method to determine the zeros of partition functions for continuous phase transitions. Unlike a first-order transition, with a uniform density of zeros near the transition point, a continuous…
Action and energy flux-tube profiles are computed, in SU(2) with beta=2.4,2.5, for two quarks up to 1 fm apart and for which the colour fields are in their ground state (A_1g) and the first (E_u) and higher (A'_1g) excited gluonic states.…
We consider the zeroes of a random Gaussian Entire Function f and show that their basins under the gradient flow of the random potential U partition the complex plane into domains of equal area. We find three characteristic exponents 1,…
Using the finite size scaling theory, we re-examine the nature of the bulk phase transition in the fundamental-adjoint coupling plane of the SU(2) lattice gauge theory at $\beta_A = 1.25$ where previous finite size scaling investigations of…
We discuss the conditions under which Higgs and confining regimes in gauge theories with fundamental representation matter fields can be sharply distinguished. It is widely believed that these regimes are smoothly connected unless they are…
The Yang-Mills gradient flow in finite volume is used to define a running coupling scheme. As our main result the discrete beta-function, or step scaling function, is calculated for scale change s=3/2 at several lattice spacings for SU(3)…
It is shown that the location of the Fisher zeros of the Baxter-Wu model, for two series of finite sized clusters, with spherical boundary conditions, is extremely simple. They lie on the unit circle in the complex Sinh[2\b{eta}J3] plane.…
We study the zeros in the complex plane of the partition function for the Ising model coupled to $2d$ quantum gravity for complex magnetic field and for complex temperature. We compute the zeros by using the exact solution coming from a two…
Lattice formulation of Finite Baryon Density QCD is problematic from computer simulation point of view; it is well known that for light quark masses the reconstructed partition function fails to be positive in a wide region of parameter…
Zeros of the $n$th moment of the partition function $[Z^n]$ are investigated in a vanishing temperature limit $\beta \to \infty$, $n \to 0$ keeping $y=\beta n \sim O(1)$. In this limit, the moment parameterized by $y$ characterizes the…
A general numerical method is presented to locate the partition function zeros in the complex beta plane for large lattice sizes. We apply this method to the 2D Ising model and results are reported for square lattice sizes up tp L=64. We…
