Nuclei exhibit quantum phase transitions (earlier called ground state phase transitions) between different shapes as the number of nucleons is modified, resulting in changes in the ground and low lying nuclear states. Special solutions of…

We demonstrate the existence of global monopole and vortex configurations whose core exhibits a phase structure. We determine the critical values of parameters for which the transition from the symmetric to the non-symmetric phase occurs…
A new point of view about the deep origin of thermodynamic phase transitions is sketched. The main idea is to link the appearance of phase transitions to some major topology change of suitable submanifolds of phase space instead of linking…
In topological phases in $2+1$ dimensions, anyons fall into representations of quantum group symmetries. As proposed in our work (arXiv:1308.4673), physics of a symmetry enriched phase can be extracted by the Mathematics of (hidden) quantum…
Quantum phase transitions between competing equilibrium shapes of nuclei with an odd number of nucleons are explored using a microscopic framework of nuclear energy density functionals and a particle-boson core coupling model. The boson…
We investigate the behavior of higher-form symmetries at various quantum phase transitions. We consider discrete 1-form symmetries, which can be either part of the generalized concept "categorical symmetry" (labelled as $\tilde{Z}_N^{(1)}$)…
We discuss the features of instabilities in asymmetric nuclear matter, in particular the relation between the nature of fluctuations, the types of instabilities and the properties of the interaction. We show a chemical instability appears…
We study the mode dynamics of a generic quadratic fermionic Hamiltonian under a sudden quench protocol in momentum space. Modes with zero energy at any given time, $t$, are referred to as dynamical critical modes. Among all zero-energy…

We give a simple way to detect the geometric phase shift and the conditional geometric phase shift with Josephson junction system. Comparing with the previous work(Falcl G, Fazio R, Palma G.M., Siewert J and Verdal V, {\it Nature} {\bf…
This article reports the spherical coordinate form of three-dimensional generalized dynamics of soft-matter quasicrystals with 12-fold symmetry which provides a basis for solving initial-boundary value problems of the equations under some…
While classical theory of phase transitions deals with systems where shape variation is energetically neutral, the account of rigidity can lead to the emergence of new thermodynamic features. One of them is a special type of critical points…
The quasi-degeneracy between the single-particle states $(n,\,l,\,j=l+1/2)$ and $(n-1,\,l+2,\,j=l+3/2)$ indicates a special and hidden symmetry in atomic nuclei---the so-called pseudospin symmetry (PSS)---which is an important concept in…
Solvable supersymmetric algebraic model for descriptions of the spherical to gama unstable shape- phase transition in even and odd mass nuclei is proposed. This model is based on dual algebraic structure and Richardson - Gaudin method,…
To solve the Cd puzzle (spherical nucleus puzzle), I have proposed a new spherical-like $\gamma$-soft nucleus. Since shape coexistence often occurs in such nuclei, explicit spherical-like $\gamma$-soft spectra are not easily identified. In…
States of thermal equilibrium of an infinite system of interacting particles in a Euclidean space are studied. The particles bear 'unbounded' spins with a given symmetric a priori distribution. The interaction between the particles is…
