The influence of Franco Iachello in Physics during the last 50 years and, in particular, in the use of algebraic methods applied to very different physical problems has been broad, extense and have permeated most branches of Physics, from…
We consider the one dimensional classical Ising model in a symmetric dichotomous random field. The problem is reduced to a random iterated function system for an effective field. The D_q-spectrum of the invariant measure of this effective…
This study examines anomalous diffusion and dynamical phase transitions in a nonlinear bouncer model with short-range interactions leading to velocity-dependent (adiabatic) collisions. By varying a control parameter, transitions between…
Regarding metric fluctuations as generating {\it roughness} on the fabric of the otherwise smooth vacuum, it is shown that in its simplest form, the effect can be described by the scalar $\phi^4$ model. The model exhibits a second order…
We investigate a spatial random graph model whose vertices are given as a marked Poisson process on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Edges are inserted between any pair of points independently with probability depending on the spatial displacement of the…
As pointed out by Coleman, physical quantities in the Schwinger model depend on a parameter $\theta$ that determines the background electric field. There is a phase transition for $\theta = \pi$ only. We develop a momentum space formalism…
We study the decay of survival probability at quantum phase transitions (QPT). The semiclassical theory is found applicable in the vicinities of critical points with infinite degeneracy. The theory predicts a power law decay of the survival…
In this paper, we study the ground state of a one-dimensional exactly solvable model with a spiral order. While the model's energy spectra is the same as the one-dimensional transverse field Ising model, its ground state manifests spiral…
We carry out a comprehensive linear stability analysis of active Brownian particle systems around a constant homogeneous state. These scalar models, being important prototypes for the continuous description of active matter, are…
Up to now the raise and peel model was the single known example of a one-dimensional stochastic process where one can observe conformal invariance. The model has one-parameter. Depending on its value one has a gapped phase, a critical point…
Critical phase transitions contain a variety of deep and universal physics, and are intimately tied to thermodynamic quantities through scaling relations. Yet, these notions are challenged in the context of non-Hermiticity, where spatial or…
Many-variable differential equations with random coefficients provide powerful models for the dynamics of many interacting species in ecology. These models are known to exhibit a dynamical phase transition from a phase where population…
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…
As an extended and more complete version of the primary QCD nucleation model presented in Ref. [1], the new model introduces explicitly the transition balance and formulates it in both macroscopic and microscopic descriptions. The…
Recently topological states of matter have witnessed a new physical phenomenon where both edge modes and gapless bulk coexist at topological quantum criticality. The presence and absence of edge modes on a critical line can lead to an…
Gapped fracton phases of matter generalize the concept of topological order and broaden our fundamental understanding of entanglement in quantum many-body systems. However, their analytical or numerical description beyond exactly solvable…
We study the finite temperature crossovers in the vicinity of a zero temperature quantum phase transition. The universal crossover functions are observables of a continuum quantum field theory. Particular attention is focussed on the high…
Quasistatic evolutions of critical points of time-dependent energies exhibit piecewise smooth behavior, making them useful for modeling continuum mechanics phenomena like elastic-plasticity and fracture. Traditionally, such evolutions have…
