An Ising model with ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor interactions $J_{1}$ ($J_{1}>0$) and random next-nearest-neighbor interactions [$+J_{2}$ with probability $p$ and $-J_{2}$ with probability $(1-p)$; $J_{2}>0$] is studied within the…
We study the interplay between the Kitaev and Ising interactions on both ladder and two dimensional lattices. We show that the ground state of the Kitaev ladder is a symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phase, which is protected by a…
Turbulent vortex structures emerging in bacterial active fluids can be organized into regular vortex lattices by weak geometrical constraints such as obstacles. Here we show, using a continuum-theoretical approach, that the formation and…
We study the semi-infinite Ising model with an external field $h_i = \lambda |i_d|^{-\delta}$, $\lambda$ is the wall influence, and $\delta>0$. This external field decays as it gets further away from the wall. We are able to show that when…
The high temperature phase of the three dimensional random field Ising model is studied using replica symmetry breaking framework. It is found that, above the ferromagnetic transition temperature T_f, there appears a glassy phase at…

Critical wetting is of crucial importance for the phase behaviour of a simple fluid or Ising magnet confined between walls that exert opposing surface fields so that one wall favours liquid (spin up), while the other favours gas (spin…
Phase transitions which occur at zero temperature when some non-thermal parameter like pressure, chemical composition or magnetic field is changed are called quantum phase transitions. They are caused by quantum fluctuations which are a…
We develop a fully microscopic, statistical mechanics approach to study phase transitions in Ising systems with competing interactions at different scales. Our aim is to consider orientational and positional order parameters in a unified…
The standard Pirogov -- Sinai theory is generalized to the class of models with two modes of interaction: longitudinal and transversal. Under rather general assumptions about the longitudinal interaction and for one specific form of the…
We rigorously analyze the quantum phase transition between a metallic and an insulating phase in (non solvable) interacting spin chains or one dimensional fermionic systems. In particular, we prove the persistence of Luttinger liquid…
Order-disorder phase transition of the ferromagnetic Ising model is investigated on a series of two-dimensional lattices that have negative Gaussian curvatures. Exceptional lattice sites of coordination number seven are distributed on the…
