The phase-field method is reviewed from the general perspective of converting a free boundary problem into a set of coupled partial differential equations. Its main advantage is that it avoids front tracking by using phase fields to locate…
In this work we study a system of interacting fermions on a triangular lattice in the presence of an external magnetic field. We neglect spin and fix a density of one third, with one unit of magnetic flux per particle. The infinite density…
We investigate non-perturbative supersymmetry breaking in various models of quantum mechanics, including an interesting class of $PT$-invariant models, using lattice path integrals. These theories are discretized on a temporal Euclidean…
We use the wall-crossing formula in the non-archimedean SYZ mirror construction (arXiv: 2003.06106) to compute the Landau-Ginzburg superpotential and the one-pointed open Gromov-Witten invariants for a Chekanov-type Lagrangian torus in any…
We survey applications of Bridgeland stability conditions in algebraic geometry and discuss open questions for future research.
Motivated by Witten's work (arXiv:hep-th/9312104), we propose the Verlinde/Grassmannian correspondence which relates the GL Verlinde numbers to the K-theoretic quasimap invariants of the Grassmannian. We recover these two types of…
We introduce a class of $2d$ sigma models which are parameterized by a function of one variable. In addition to the physical field $g$, these models include an auxiliary field $v_\alpha$ which mediates interactions in a prescribed way. We…
We study of the formation of pattern-forming fronts in the presence of a rigidly-propagating parameter ramp which is slowly-varying in space. In the context of the prototypical supercritical complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, we show that…
A recently introduced approach for the dynamical analysis and quantization of field theoretical models with second class constraints is ilustrated applied to linearized gravity in 3-D. The canonical structure of two different models of…
The gauged sigma-model argument that string backgrounds related by T-dual give equivalent quantum theories is revisited, taking careful account of global considerations. The topological obstructions to gauging sigma-models give rise to…
We make connections between studies in the condensed matter literature on quantum phase transitions in square lattice antiferromagnets, and results in the particle theory literature on abelian supersymmetric gauge theories in 2+1…
We study non-perturbatively and from first principles the thermodynamics of vortices in 3d U(1) gauge+Higgs theory, or the Ginzburg-Landau model, which has frequently been used as a model for cosmological topological defect formation. We…
We find a natural $L_{\omega_1,\omega}$-axiomatisation $\Sigma$ of a structure on the upper half-plane $\mathbb{H}$ as the covering space of modular curves. The main theorem states that $\Sigma$ has a unique model in every uncountable…
We investigate a generic, parallel replica-exchange framework for Monte Carlo simulations based on the Wang-Landau method. To demonstrate its advantages and general applicability for massively parallel simulations of complex systems, we…
We present a novel finite-matrix formulation of gauge theories on a non-commutative torus. Unlike the previous formulation based on a map from a square matrix to a field on a discretized torus with periodic boundary conditions, our…
In this work, we study the co-dimensional one interface limit and geometric motions of parabolic Ginzburg--Landau systems with potentials of high-dimensional wells. The main result generalizes the one by Lin et al. (Comm. Pure Appl. Math.,…
The Landau paradigm is a central dogma for understanding phase and phase transitions in condensed matter systems, yet for decades it has been known that a variety of quantum phases exist beyond the framework. Is there a more general…
Linearized complex Ginzburg-Landau equation models various physical phenomena and the stability controls of them are important. In this paper, we study the control of the LCGLE with a simultaneously space and time dependent coefficient by…
Topologically ordered matter phases have been regarded as beyond the Landau-Ginzburg symmetry breaking paradigm of matter phases. Recent studies of anyon condensation in topological phases, however, may fit topological phases back in the…
In this thesis, we present results on phase transition for two models: the semi-infinite Ising model with a decaying field, and the long-range Ising model with a random field. We study the semi-infinite Ising model with an external field…
