Different types of order are discussed in the context of strongly correlated transition metal oxides, involving pure compounds and $3d^{3}-4d^{4}$ and $3d^{2}-4d^{4}$ hybrids. Apart from standard, long-range spin and orbital orders we…
We generalize the topological entanglement entropy to a family of topological Renyi entropies parametrized by a parameter alpha, in an attempt to find new invariants for distinguishing topologically ordered phases. We show that,…
We analyse the topology of the state space of two systems: i) N Ising spins +/-1 with the antiferromagnetic interactions on a triangular lattice, with the condition of minimum of energy, ii) a roundabout of three access roads and three exit…
The expression for the cubic-type-anisotropy constant created by defects of "random local anisotropy" type is derived. It is shown that the Imry-Ma theorem stating that in space dimensions d<4 the introduction of an arbitrarily small…
The main contribution of the current study is two-fold. First, we investigate the energy landscape of the Ising and Potts models on finite two-dimensional lattices without external fields in the low temperature regime. The complete analysis…

In this work we propose a two-dimensional extension of a previously defined one-dimensional version of a model of counterflowing particles, which considers an adapted Fermi-Dirac distribution to describe the transition probabilities. In…
Artificial neural networks and machine learning have now reached a new era after several decades of improvement where applications are to explode in many fields of science, industry, and technology. Here, we use artificial neural networks…
For the system with the n-component order parameter (O(n)-model), conditions for initiation of the Imry-Ma disordered state resulting from the influence of defects of the "random local anisotropy" type were discovered. The initiation of…
We consider the one-dimensional spinless Falicov-Kimball model of itinerant fermionic particles (``spinless electrons''), which can hop between nearest-neighbour sites only, and of immobile particles (``classical ions''), with an on-site…
We use the structure of conditionally independent states to analyze the stability of topological entanglement entropy. For the ground state of quantum double or Levin-Wen model, we obtain a bound on the first order perturbation of…
We consider a model of random curves in the plane related to the large-scale behavior of the Random Field Ising Model (RFIM) at temperature zero in two space dimensions. Our work is motivated by attempts to quantify the Imry--Ma phenomenon…
Rare regions with weak disorder (Griffiths regions) have the potential to spoil localization. We describe a non-perturbative construction of local integrals of motion (LIOMs) for a weakly interacting spin chain in one dimension, under a…
A gapped ground state of a quantum spin system has a natural length scale set by the gap. This length scale governs the decay of correlations. A common intuition is that this length scale also controls the spatial relaxation towards the…
This paper studies a one-dimensional Mean-Field Planning (MFP) system with a non-local, rank-based coupling. Using a potential formulation, we rewrite the system as an associated scalar partial differential equation. We prove an equivalence…
We demonstrate that ultracold polyatomic symmetric top molecules, such as methyl fluoride, loaded into an optical lattice and subject to DC electric and microwave field dressing, can display topological order via a self-consistent analog of…
An ordered state in the spin sector that breaks parity without breaking time-reversal symmetry, i.e., that can be considered as dynamically generated spin-orbit coupling, was proposed to explain puzzling observations in a range of different…
The ground state properties of the Shastry-Sutherland model in the presence of an external field are investigated by means of variational states built up from unpaired spins (monomers) and singlet pairs of spins (dimers). The minimum of the…
A relation between a class of stationary points of the energy landscape of continuous spin models on a lattice and the configurations of a Ising model defined on the same lattice suggests an approximate expression for the microcanonical…
