Until very recently, the asymptotic occurrence of intrinsic anomalous scaling has been expected to require concomitant effects for kinetically rough interfaces, like quenched disorder or morphological instabilities. However, counterexamples…

Continuous phase transitions are catalogued into universality classes, families of systems having identical values of all the exponents governing the critical behaviour of their different physical properties. Numerical simulations have been…
We study the Ising model in a hierarchical small-world network by renormalization group analysis, and find a phase transition between an ordered phase and a critical phase, which is driven by the coupling strength of the shortcut edges.…
Using the $x-y$ model and a non-local updating scheme called cluster Monte Carlo, we calculate the superfluid density of a two dimensional superfluid on large-size square lattices $L \times L$ up to $400\times 400$. This technique allows us…
We investigate dimensional reduction, the property that the critical behavior of a system in the presence of quenched disorder in dimension d is the same as that of its pure counterpart in d-2, and its breakdown in the case of the…
Simulations of restricted solid-on-solid growth models are used to build the width-distributions of d=2-5 dimensional KPZ interfaces. We find that the universal scaling function associated with the steady-state width-distribution changes…
A relation between geometric phases and criticality of spin chains are studied by using the quantum renormalization-group approach. We have shown how the geometric phase evolve as the size of the system becomes large, i.e., the finite size…
