We discuss how to locate critical points in the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) universality class by means of gap-scaling analyses. While accurately determining such points using gap extrapolation procedures is usually challenging…
We investigate the large-N critical behavior of 2-d lattice chiral models by Monte Carlo simulations of U(N) and SU(N) groups at large N. Numerical results confirm strong coupling analyses, i.e. the existence of a large-N second order phase…
We solve the ferromagnetic q-state Potts model on an inhomogeneous annealed network which mimics a random recursive graph. We find that this system has the inverted Berezinskii--Kosterlitz--Thouless (BKT) phase transition for any $q \geq…

We investigate the critical properties of the two-dimensional Z(5) vector model. For this purpose, we propose a new cluster algorithm, valid for Z(N) models with odd values of N. The two-dimensional Z(5) vector model is conjectured to…
We perform Monte Carlo simulations of a three-dimensional spin system with a Hamiltonian which contains only four-spin interaction term. This system describes random surfaces with extrinsic curvature - gonihedric action. We study the…
We study the three dimensional fundamental-adjoint $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory at non-zero temperatures by Monte Carlo simulations. On an $8^3 \times 2$ lattice, at $\beta_A = 1.1$, where $\beta_A$ is the adjoint coupling, we find no…
The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition is an archetypal example of a topological phase transition, which is driven by the proliferation of vortices. In this Letter, we analyze the persistence of the BKT transition in the XY…
Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition, the topological phase transition to a quasi-long range order in a two-dimensional (2D) system, is a hallmark of low-dimensional topological physics. The recent emergence of non-Hermitian…
We analyse the deconfining phase transition in the SU(N) Georgi-Glashow model in 2+1 dimensions. We show that the phase transition is second order for any N, and the universality class is different from the Z(N) invariant Villain model. At…
It is established by numerical means that the continuum large N principal chiral model in two dimensions has a phase transition in a smoothed two point function at a critical distance of the order of the correlation length.
We show that four-dimensional systems may exhibit a topological phase transition analogous to the well-known Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless vortex unbinding transition in two-dimensional systems. The realisation of an engineered quantum…
The aim of this paper is to illustrate that generalized two-dimensional XY models (proposed by Romano and Zagrebnov) may also support a first-order phase transition. Two approaches are employed to accurately determine the critical parameter…
A spherical model of skeleton with junctions is investigated by Monte Carlo simulations. The model is governed by one-dimensional bending energy. The results indicate that the model undergoes a first-order transition separating the smooth…
Since the discovery a half century ago that 1/r^2-type long-range interactions in the one-dimensional Ising model change the phase transition type, long-range interactions in diverse systems have received considerable attention. Recently,…
