We investigate the properties of domain wall fermions on a set of quenched configurations at non-zero temperature. In particular, we compute the low lying eigenvalues of the DWF operator and study their relation with topology, level…
We study corrections to the scaling limit of subcritical long-range Ising models with (super)-summable interactions on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. For a wide class of models, the scaling limit is known to be white noise, as shown by Newman (1980). In…

We analyse discretization effects in the calculation of high-temperature meson spectral functions at nonzero momentum and fermion mass on the lattice. We do so by comparing continuum and lattice spectral functions in the infinite…
The electromagnetic Casimir effect has a fermionic counterpart in topological insulators: Zero-point fluctuations of a massless Dirac fermion field mediate a force between magnetic scatterers. The Casimir force is insensitive to disorder…

Non-zero topological charge is prohibited in the chiral limit of gauge-fermion systems because any instanton would create a zero mode of the Dirac operator. On the lattice, however, the geometric $Q_\text{geom}=\langle F{\tilde F}\rangle…
In this work, we demonstrate that the mixing of scalar and vector condensates produces spatially oscillating, but exponentially damped correlation functions in fermionic theories at finite density and temperature. We find a regime…
We consider the classical XY model (O(2) nonlinear sigma-model) on a class of lattices with the (fractal) dimensions 1<D<2. The Berezinskii's harmonic approximation suggests that the model undergoes a phase transition in which the low…
With the intent of exploring how the interplay between boundary effects and chiral symmetry breaking may alter the thermodynamical behavior of a system of strongly interacting fermions, we study the Casimir effect for the setup of two…
We present a detailed study of a model of close-packed dimers on the square lattice with an interaction between nearest-neighbor dimers. The interaction favors parallel alignment of dimers, resulting in a low-temperature crystalline phase.…
This paper presents a general framework of high-order finite difference (HFD) schemes for the tempered fractional Laplacian (TFL) based on new generating functions obtained from the discrete symbols. Specifically, for sufficiently smooth…
It has been shown that, by adding an extra free field that decouples from the dynamics, one can construct actions for interacting 2n-form fields with self-dual field strengths in 4n+2 dimensions. In this paper we analyze canonical…

Strong dynamical scaling violations exist in quenched two-dimensional systems with vector O(3) order parameters. These systems support non-singular topologically stable configurations (skyrmions). By tuning the stability of isolated…
We consider the early time regime of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in $1+1$ dimensions in curved (or droplet) geometry. We show that for short time $t$, the probability distribution $P(H,t)$ of the height $H$ at a given point $x$…
