I highlight a few thoughts on the contribution to the dipole moments from the so-called $\theta$ parameter. The dipole moments are known can be generated by $\theta$. In fact, the renowned strong $\cal{CP}$ problem was formulated as a…
In this study, we discuss some general critical properties of bound states with one-boson-exchange potential. For simplicity, we first take a system with two identical scalar particles as an example. The interaction between these two scalar…
The concept of critical points in nuclear phase transitional regions is discussed from the standpoints of Q-invariants, simple observables and wave function entropy. It is shown that these critical points very closely coincide with the…
Central exclusive production (CEP) processes in high-energy hadron-hadron collisions provide an especially clean environment in which to measure the nature and quantum numbers (in particular, the spin and parity) of new resonance states.…
There are two independent critical exponents that describe the behavior of systems near their critical point. However, at the critical point only the exponent $\eta$, which describes the decay of the correlation function, is usually…

Competing scenarios for quantum critical points (QCPs) of strongly interacting Fermi systems signaled by a divergent density of states at zero temperature are contrasted. The conventional scenario, which enlists critical fluctuations of a…

We show that scale invariant scattering theory allows to exactly determine the critical points of two-dimensional systems with coupled $O(N)$ and Ising order pameters. The results are obtained for $N$ continuous and include criticality of…
The QCD phase diagram may feature a critical end point at a temperature T and baryon chemical potential $\mu$ which is accessible in heavy ion collisions. The universal long wavelength fluctuations which develop near this Ising critical…
We review several theoretical aspects of the Equivalence Principle (EP). We emphasize the unsatisfactory fact that the EP maintains the absolute character of the coupling constants of physics while General Relativity, and its…
Topological phase transitions in condensed matters accompany emerging singularities of the electronic wave function, often manifested by gap-closing points in the momentum space. In conventional topological insulators in three dimensions…
Quantum critical points (QCPs) are widely accepted as a source of a diverse set of collective quantum phases of matter. A central question is how the order parameters of phases near a QCP interact and determine the fundamental character of…
A permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) of a particle or system is a separation of charge along its angular-momentum axis and is a direct signal of T-violation and, assuming CPT symmetry, CP violation. For over sixty years EDMs have been…
We consider the behaviour of a critical system in the presence of a gradient perturbation of the couplings. In the direction of the gradient an interface region separates the ordered phase from the disordered one. We develop a scaling…
Strongly interacting matter undergoes a crossover phase transition at high temperatures $T\sim 10^{12}$ K and zero net-baryon density. A fundamental question in the theory of strong interactions, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), is whether a…
Theory of classical critical phenomena of Mott transition is developed for the dimensionality $d \le \infty$. Reconsidering a cluster dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), Ginzburg-Landau free energy is derived in terms of hybridization…
We use the linear sigma model with quarks to locate the critical end point in the effective QCD phase diagram accounting for fluctuations in temperature and quark chemical potential. For this purpose, we use the non-equilibrium formalism…
Quantum phase transitions are a ubiquitous many-body phenomenon that occurs in a wide range of physical systems, including superconductors, quantum spin liquids, and topological materials. However, investigations of quantum critical systems…
