We investigate the quantum phases of a frustrated antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin-1/2 model Hamiltonian on a Kagome-strip chain (KSC), a one-dimensional analogue of the Kagome lattice, and construct its phase diagram in an extended…
Two-dimensional $CP^{N-1}$ models are investigated by Monte Carlo methods on the lattice, for values of $N$ ranging from 2 to 21. Scaling and rotation invariance are studied by comparing different definitions of correlation length $\xi$.…
State-of-the-art algorithms in lattice gauge theory typically rely heavily on detailed balance, which is an instrumental tool to prove the correct convergence of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo Algorithm. In this work, we investigate an…
The square lattice with central forces between nearest neighbors is isostatic with a subextensive number of floppy modes. It can be made rigid by the random addition of next-nearest neighbor bonds. This constitutes a rigidity percolation…

In this note we study the phase transition for percolation on quasi-transitive graphs with quasi-transitively inhomogeneous edge-retention probabilities. A quasi-transitive graph is an infinite graph with finitely many different "types" of…
First, we present a two-dimensional lattice gas model with anisotropic interactions which explains the experimentally observed transition from a dominant c(2x2) ordering of the CdTe(001) surface to a local (2x1) arrangement of the Cd atoms…
We study the phase structure of a surface model by using the canonical Monte Carlo simulation technique on triangulated, fixed connectivity, and spherical surfaces with many fine holes. The size of a hole is assumed to be of the order of…
We present exact results for a lattice model of cluster growth in 1D. The growth mechanism involves interface hopping and pairwise annihilation supplemented by spontaneous creation of the stable-phase, +1, regions by overturning the…
We study the $S>1/2$ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the 1/5-depleted square lattice as a function of the ratio of the intra-plaquette coupling to the inter-plaquette coupling. Using stochastic series expansion quantum Monte Carlo…
We obtain confidence intervals for the location of the percolation phase transition in H\"aggstr\"om's divide and color model on the square lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$ and the hexagonal lattice $\mathbb{H}$. The resulting probabilistic bounds…
We study a random graph model which combines properties of the edge percolation model on Z^d and a classical random graph G(n,c/n). We show that this model, being a homogeneous random graph, has a natural relation to the so-called "rank 1…
The two-dimensional one-component plasma, i.e. the system of point-like charged particles embedded in a homogeneous neutralizing background, is studied on the surface of a cylinder of finite circumference, or equivalently in a semiperiodic…
We study the scaling limit of a statistical system, which is a special case of the integrable inhomogeneous six-vertex model. It possesses $U_q\big(\mathfrak{sl}(2)\big)$ invariance due to the choice of open boundary conditions imposed. An…
We present a detailed investigation of the XXZ Heisenberg model for spin-$1/2$ and spin-$1$ systems on square and honeycomb lattices. Utilizing the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method, complemented by Spiral Boundary…
Statistical physics models with hard constraints, such as the discrete hard-core gas model (random independent sets in a graph), are inherently combinatorial and present the discrete mathematician with a relatively comfortable setting for…
Using both analytical arguments and detailed numerical evidence we show that the first order transition in the type-I 2D Abelian Higgs model can be understood in terms of the statistical mechanics of vortices, which behave in this regime as…
The lattice regularized Schwinger model for one fermion flavor and in the strong coupling limit is studied through its equivalent representation as a restricted 8-vertex model. The Monte Carlo simulation on lattices with torus-topology is…
The Asymmetric BA model extends the Barab\'asi-Albert scale-free network model by introducing a parameter $\omega$. As $\omega$ varies, the model transitions through different network structures: an extended lattice at $\omega = -1$, a…
We review the construction of exactly solvable lattice models whose continuum limits are $N=2$ supersymmetric models. Both critical and off-critical models are discussed. The approach we take is to first find lattice models with natural…
