In recent years the complex action problem of lattice field theory at finite density was overcome for several system by mapping them to dual variables (flux lines and surfaces). We illustrate this mapping for the case of the U(1) gauge…

We investigate by means of Monte Carlo simulation and Finite-Size Scaling analysis the critical properties of the three dimensional O(5) non linear sigma model and of the antiferromagnetic RP2 model, both of them regularized on a lattice.…
The well known Haldane map from spin chains into the $O(3)$ non linear sigma model is generalized to the case of spin ladders. This map allows us to explain the different qualitative behaviour between even and odd ladders, exactly in the…
The difficulties arising in the investigation of finite-size scaling in $d$--dimensional O(n) systems with strong anisotropy and/or long-range interaction, decaying with the interparticle distance $r$ as $r^{-d-\sigma}$ ($0<\sigma\leq2$),…
There exist lattice actions which give cut--off independent physical predictions even on coarse grained lattices. Rotation symmetry is restored, the spectrum becomes exact and, in addition, the classical equations have scale invariant…
We define a fixed point action in two-dimensional lattice ${\rm CP}^{N-1}$ models. The fixed point action is a classical perfect lattice action, which is expected to show strongly reduced cutoff effects in numerical simulations.…
Fisher zeros are the zeros of the partition function in the complex beta=2N_c/g^2 plane. When they pinch the real axis, finite size scaling allows one to distinguish between first and second order transition and to estimate exponents. On…
We reformulate the two-channel Kondo model to explicitly remove the unscattered charge degrees of freedom. This procedure permits us to move the non-Fermi liquid fixed point to infinite coupling where we can apply a perturbative…
We describe an application of the linear $\de$-expansion to the calculation of correlation functions in SU(2)-Higgs lattice gauge theory. A significant advantage of the technique is that an infinite volume lattice may be used, allowing the…
We compute two- and three-point functions at criticality for the three-dimensional Ising universality class. To this end we simulate the improved Blume-Capel model at the critical temperature on lattices of a linear size up to $L=1600$. As…

We study the renormalization group evolution up to the fixed point of the lattice topological susceptibility in the 2-d O(3) non-linear sigma-model. We start with a discretization of the continuum topological charge by a local charge…
Monte Carlo simulations of finite density systems are often plagued by the complex action problem. We point out that there exists certain non-commutativity in the zero chemical potential limit and the thermodynamic limit when one tries to…
The QCD phase diagram is one of the most prominent outstanding puzzles within the Standard Model. Various experiments, which aim at its exploration beyond small baryon density, are operating or in preparation. From the theoretical side,…
We investigate the problem of estimating a smooth invertible transformation f when observing independent samples X_1, ..., X_n ~ P \circ f, where P is a known measure. We focus on the two dimensional case where P and f are defined on R^2.…
We study the two-dimensional Wess-Zumino model with extended N=2 supersymmetry on the lattice. The lattice prescription we choose has the merit of preserving {\it exactly} a single supersymmetric invariance at finite lattice spacing $a$.…
