Two conditions are derived for Ising models to show non-universal critical behaviour, namely conditions concerning 1) logarithmic singularity of the specific heat and 2) degeneracy of the ground state. These conditions are satisfied with…
We study a continuous quantum phase transition that breaks a $Z_2$ symmetry. We show that the transition is described by a new critical point which does not belong to the Ising universality class, despite the presence of well defined…

We proposed a new universal method for significantly increasing accuracy of critical points of 2 and 3-dimensional Ising models and exploring fluctuation mechanism. The method is based on analysis of block fractals and the renormalization…

We consider the critical properties of points of continuous glass transition as one can find in liquids in presence of constraints or in liquids in porous media. Through a one loop analysis we show that the critical Replica Field Theory…
Critical points of classical and quantum lattice models are often described by scale-invariant Lifshitz theories which are anisotropic in the continuum limit, as characterized by a dynamical critical exponent $z\neq1$. This type of critical…
We generalize the previous study on the application of variational autoencoders to the two-dimensional Ising model to a system with anisotropy. Due to the self-duality property of the system, the critical points can be located exactly for…
A system defined by two coupled Ising models, with a bimodal random field acting in one of them, is investigated. The interactions among variables of each Ising system are infinite-ranged, a limit where mean field becomes exact. This model…
We show that supersymmetry emerges in a large class of models in 1+1 dimensions with both Z_2 and U(1) symmetry at the multicritical point where the Ising and Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transitions coincide. To arrive at this result we…
We use scale invariant scattering theory to exactly determine the lines of renormalization group fixed points invariant under the permutational symmetry $S_q$ in two dimensions, and show how one of these scattering solutions describes the…
We discuss the unusual critical behavior of a generalized XY model containing both 2\pi-periodic and \pi-periodic couplings between sites. The presence of vortices and half-vortices allows for single-particle condensate and pair-condensate…
Recently some two-dimensional models with double symmetric absorbing states were shown to share the same critical behaviour that was called the voter universality class. We show, that for an absorbing-states Potts model with finite but…
We investigate recently proposed method for locating critical temperatures and introduce some modifications which allow to formulate exact criterion for any self-dual model. We apply the modified method for the Ashkin-Teller model and show…
The early-time critical dynamics of continuous, Ising-like phase transitions is studied numerically for two-dimensional lattices of coupled chaotic maps. Emphasis is laid on obtaining accurate estimates of the dynamic critical exponents…
We define a `k-booklet' to be a set of k semi-infinite planes with $-\infty < x < \infty$ and $y \geq 0$, glued together at the edges (the `spine') y=0. On such booklets we study three critical phenomena: Self-avoiding random walks, the…
The mixed spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 Ising model on the extended Kagom\'e lattice is solved by establishing a mapping correspondence with the eight-vertex model. Letting the parameter of uniaxial single-ion anisotropy tend to infinity, the model…
The Boltzmann distribution encodes our subjective knowledge of the configuration in a classical lattice model, given only its Hamiltonian. If we acquire further information about the configuration from measurement, our knowledge is updated…
The phase structure of three-dimensional Z(N>4) lattice gauge theories at finite temperature is investigated. Using the dual formulation of the models and a cluster algorithm we locate the critical points of the two transitions, determine…
An intriguing result of statistical mechanics is that a first-order phase transition can be rounded by disorder coupled to energy-like variables. In fact, even more intriguing is that the rounding may manifest itself as a critical point,…
