Two-dimensional sigma models on superspheres $S^{r-1|2s} \cong OSp(r|2s)/OSp(r - 1|2s)$ are known to flow to weak coupling $g_{\sigma} \to 0$ in the IR when $r - 2s < 2$. Their long-distance properties are described by a free 'Goldstone'…
Simulating percolation and critical phenomena of labelled species inside films composed of single-component linear homogeneous macromolecules using molecular Monte Carlo method in 3 dimensions, we study dependence of these conducting…
Motivated by the recent interest in the criticality of open quantum many-body systems, we study nonlinear sigma models with complexified couplings as a general framework for nonunitary field theory. Applying the perturbative…
Models of random walks are considered in which walkers are born at one location and die at all other locations with uniform death rate. Steady-state distributions of random walkers exhibit dimensionally dependent critical behavior as a…
Topological phase transitions track changes in topological properties of a system and occur in real materials as well as quantum engineered systems, all of which differ greatly in terms of dimensionality, symmetries, interactions, and…
A random growth lattice filling model of percolation with touch and stop growth rule is developed and studied numerically on a two dimensional square lattice. Nucleation centers are continuously added one at a time to the empty sites and…
Phase transitions of systems confined in long cylindrical pores (capillary condensation, wetting, crystallization, etc.) are intrinsically not sharply defined but rounded. The finite size of the cross section causes destruction of long…
Conventional ordering transitions, described by the Landau paradigm, are characterized by the symmetries broken at the critical point. Within the constrained manifold occurring at low temperatures in certain frustrated systems,…
We investigate the anisotropic coupled-top model, which describes the interactions between two large spins along both $x-$ and $y-$directions. By tuning anisotropic coupling strengths along distinct directions, we can manipulate the…
In [Muhl2019], Peter M\"uhlbacher showed that in the random loop model without loop weights, a loop phase transition (assuming it exists) cannot occur at the same parameter as the percolation phase transition of the occupied edges. In this…
We study Majorana chain with the shortest possible interaction term and in the presence of hoping alternation. When formulated in terms of spins the model corresponds to the transverse field Ising model with nearest-neighbor transverse and…
We study the phase diagram of a class of models in which a generalized cluster interaction can be quenched by Ising exchange interaction and external magnetic field. We characterize the various phases through winding numbers. They may be…
In earlier work we provided the first evidence that the collapse, or coil-globule, transition of an isolated polymer in solution can be seen in a four-dimensional model. Here we investigate, via Monte Carlo simulations, the canonical…
Universality is a pillar of modern critical phenomena. The standard scenario is that the two-point correlation algebraically decreases with the distance $r$ as $g(r) \sim r^{2-d-\eta}$, with $d$ the spatial dimension and $\eta$ the…
We study the O(3) sigma model in $D=2$ on the lattice with a Boltzmann weight linearized in $\beta$ on each link. While the spin formulation now suffers from a sign-problem the equivalent loop model remains positive and becomes particularly…
A finite array of $N$ globally coupled Stratonovich models exhibits a continuous nonequilibrium phase transition. In the limit of strong coupling there is a clear separation of time scales of center of mass and relative coordinates. The…
The rigidity transition occurs when, as the density of microscopic components is increased, a disordered medium becomes able to transmit and ensure macroscopic mechanical stability, owing to the appearance of a space-spanning rigid…
Various interacting lattice path models of polymer collapse in two dimensions demonstrate different critical behaviours. This difference has been without a clear explanation. The collapse transition has been variously seen to be in the…
We study a continuous quantum phase transition that breaks a $Z_2$ symmetry. We show that the transition is described by a new critical point which does not belong to the Ising universality class, despite the presence of well defined…
We study the phase diagram and critical behaviors of three-dimensional lattice ${\mathbb Z}_2$-gauge $N$-vector models, in which an $N$-component real field is minimally coupled with a ${\mathbb Z}_2$-gauge link variables. These models are…
