We study how the finite-sized n-component model A with periodic boundary conditions relaxes near its bulk critical point from an initial nonequilibrium state with short-range correlations. Particular attention is paid to the universal…
Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition is one of the instability mechanisms for the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. But in the BKT transition, there are logarithmic-correction problems, which make it very difficult to treat BKT…

We investigate the nature of the phase transition occurring in a planar XY-model spin system with dipole-dipole interactions. It is demonstrated that a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) type of phase transition always takes place at a…

We investigate phase transitions in scalar field theories using the functional renormalization group (RG) equation. We analyze a system with $U(2)\times U(2)$ symmetry, in which there is a parameter $\lambda_2$ that controls the strength of…
One of the hallmarks of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition in two-dimensional (2D) superconductors is the universal jump of the superfluid density, that can be indirectly probed via the non-linear exponent of the…
In this paper, we thoroughly examined the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition in the two-dimensional XY model on the honeycomb lattice. To address its thermodynamical behavior, we combined standard numerical Monte Carlo…

The 2d XY model exhibits an essential phase transition, which was predicted long ago --- by Berezinskii, Kosterlitz and Thouless (BKT) --- to be driven by the (un)binding of vortex--anti-vortex pairs. This transition has been confirmed for…
In the search of high-temperature superconductivity one option is to focus on increasing the density of electronic states. Here we study both the normal and $s$-wave superconducting state properties of periodically strained graphene, which…
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,…
