The properties of rapidly quenched superfluid phase transitions are computed for two-dimensional Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) systems. The decay in the vortex-pair density and the recovery of the superfluid density after a quench are found by…
We show that melting the quark mass, the scalar $\sigma $ mass and the quark condensate leads uniquely to the quark-level SU(2) linear $\sigma $ model field theory. Upon thermalization, the chiral phase transition curve requires $T_c…
We study a single vortex in a two-dimensional $p+ip$ Fermi superfluid interacting with a Bose-Einstein condensate. The Fermi superfluid is topologically non-trivial and hosts a zero-energy Majorana bound state at the vortex core. Assuming a…

The quark-meson model is often used as an effective low-energy model for QCD to study the chiral transition at finite temperature $T$, baryon chemical potential $\mu_B$, and isospin chemical potential $\mu_I$. The parameters of the model…
We investigate the 2-flavor QCD with non-degenerate quark masses at low-energy, using the chiral perturbation theory including the $\eta$ meson and anomaly effects. For the fixed $m_d\not=0$, the neutral pion becomes massless at two values…
We study superconductivity in the hadron-quark mixed phase of planar quantum chromodynamics (QCD) within the large $N$ limit of a Gross-Neveu model modified by a repulsive vector term. At high densities, the combination of scalar attraction…
We have studied a massive U(1) gauge holographic model with pure gauge and mixed gauge-gravitational Chern-Simons terms. The full backreaction of the gauge field on the metric tensor has been considered in order to explore the vortical and…
We study the 2-flavour lattice Schwinger model: QED in D=2 with two fermion species of identical mass. In the simulation we are using Wilson fermions where chiral symmetry is explicitly broken. Since there is no known simple order parameter…
We study a quantum phase transition of electrons on a two-dimensional square lattice. Our lattice model preserves the full $\mathrm{O}(4)$ symmetry of free spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Dirac fermions on a bipartite lattice. In particular, it not only…
