This talk summarizes results obtained from simulating a three dimensional pure Order Parameter (OP) model of the Electroweak Phase Transition (EWPT). Its detailed presentation appears in \cite{karsch}.
We report the results of numerical simulations for a model of a one component plasma (a system of N point electrons with mutual Coulomb interactions) in a uniform stationary magnetic field. We take N up to 512, with periodic boundary…
A random walk is performed over a disordered media composed of $N$ sites random and uniformly distributed inside a $d$-dimensional hypercube. The walker cannot remain in the same site and hops to one of its $n$ neighboring sites with a…
We study the phase transition in generalized chiral or Stiefel's models using Monte Carlo simulations. These models are characterized by a breakdown of symmetry O(N)/O(N-P). We show that the phase transition is clearly first order for N >=…
It has recently been observed that the weakly coupled plane wave matrix model has a density of states which grows exponentially at high energy. This implies that the model has a phase transition. The transition appears to be of first order.…
Motivated by genome-wide association screening studies (GWAS), we study high-dimensional marginal screenings of categorical variables where test statistics have approximate chi-square distributions. We characterize four new phase…
We present a modified version of the one-dimensional sine-Gordon that exhibits a thermodynamic, roughening phase transition, in analogy with the 2D usual sine-Gordon model. The model is suited to study the crystalline growth over an…
Correlation functions involving products and ratios of half-integer powers of characteristic polynomials of random matrices from the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE) frequently arise in applications of Random Matrix Theory (RMT) to…
It is commonly believed that in confining vector-like gauge theories the center and chiral symmetry realizations are parametrically entangled, and if phase transitions occur, they must take place around the strong scale $\Lambda^{-1}$ of…
We perform large scale finite-temperature Monte Carlo simulations of the classical $e_g$ and $t_{2g}$ orbital models on the simple cubic lattice in three dimensions. The $e_g$ model displays a continuous phase transition to an orbitally…
The $2$d orders are a sub class of causal sets, which is especially amenable to computer simulations. Past work has shown that the $2$d orders have a first order phase transition between a random and a crystalline phase. When coupling the…
In view of a recent controversy we investigated the Mott-Hubbard transition in D=infinity with a novel cluster approach. i) We show that any truncated Bethe lattice of order n can be mapped exactly to a finite Hubbard-like cluster. ii) We…
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…
The quantum mechanical counterpart of the famous Stoner-Wohlfarth model -- an easy-axis magnet in a tilted magnetic field -- is studied theoretically and through simulations, as a function of the spin-size $S$ in a sweeping longitudinal…
We extend the relation between random matrices and free probability theory from the level of expectations to the level of fluctuations. We introduce the concept of "second order freeness" and derive the global fluctuations of Gaussian and…
We give a general introduction to quantum phase transitions in strongly-correlated electron systems. These transitions which occur at zero temperature when a non-thermal parameter $g$ like pressure, chemical composition or magnetic field is…
The effect of disorder on flux lattices at equilibrium is studied quantitatively in the absence of free dislocations using both the Gaussian variational method and the renormalization group. Our results for the mean square relative…
One of the fundamental aspects of statistical behaviour in many-body systems is exponential divergence of neighbouring orbits, which is often discussed in terms of Liapounov exponents. Here we study this topic for the classical…
We investigate an effective model for the finite temperature restoration phase transition of the electroweak theory. It is obtained by dimensional reduction of the $3+1$ dimensional full theory and by subsequent integration over all static…
We consider phase transitions in the standard model (SM) without the Higgs mass term, which is coupled through a Higgs portal term to an SM singlet, classically scale-invariant gauge sector with SM singlet scalar fields. At lower energies…
