The phase diagram at zero temperature of a lattice SU(2) scalar-fermion model in (2+1) dimensions is studied numerically and with Mean-Field methods. Special attention is devoted to the strong coupling regime. We have developed a new method…
Motivated by a puzzle in the study of two dimensional lattice Quantum Electrodynamics with staggered fermions, we construct a two dimensional fermionic model with a global U(1) symmetry. Our model can be mapped into a model of closed packed…
We formulate a quantum coherent state picture for topological and non-topological solitons. We recognize that the topological charge arises from the infinite occupation number of zero momentum quanta flowing in one direction. Thus, the…
We present a phase diagram study of the O(4) model as an effective theory for 2-flavor QCD. In the chiral limit, both theories perform spontaneous symmetry breaking with isomorphic groups, which suggests that they belong to the same…
The phase diagram of two-color QCD with non-zero chiral chemical potential is studied by means of lattice simulation. We focus on the influence of a chiral chemical potential on the confinement/deconfinement phase transition and the…
Quantum link models (QLMs) are generalizations of Wilson's lattice gauge theory formulated with finite-dimensional link Hilbert spaces. In certain cases, the non-Abelian Gauss Law constraint can be exactly solved, and the gauge invariant…
We derive an effective field theory for a noncollinear altermagnet and magnons on top of the noncollinear ground state from an altermagnetic Heisenberg model. We obtain the ground-state phase diagram, revealing a noncollinear phase and four…
The energy density is computed for a U(2) Chern-Simons theory coupled to a non-relativistic fermion field (a theory of ``non-Abelian anyons'') under the assumptions of uniform charge and matter density. When the matter field is a spinless…
We consider an off-lattice liquid crystal pair potential in strictly two dimensions. The potential is purely repulsive and short-ranged. Nevertheless, by means of a single parameter in the potential, the system is shown to undergo a…
We study duality transformation and duality symmetry in the the electromagnetic-like charged p-form theories. It is shown that the dichotomic characterization of duality groups as $Z_2$ or SO(2) remains as the only possibilities but are now…
We apply the canonical quantum field theory based on the Liouville-von Neumann equation to the nonequilibrium linear sigma model. Particular emphasis is put on the mechanism for domain growth of disoriented chiral condensates due to long…
A quantum phase transition that was recently observed in a high-mobility silicon MOSFET is analyzed in terms of a scaling theory. The most striking characteristic of the transition is a divergence of the thermopower, according to an inverse…
We use the semi-classical approach to study the non-equilibrium dynamics of the O(3) non-linear sigma model. For a class of quenches defined in the text, we obtain the order parameter dynamical correlator in the thermodynamic limit. In…

We compute the free energy density of QCD to order $\alpha_s$ at very high density and non-zero quark masses. The counterterms needed to renormalise the theory to order $\alpha_s$ is same as the vacuum (non-zero density) theory. We…
