In the paper a one-dimensional model with nearest - neighbor interactions $I_n, n\in \Z$ and spin values $\pm 1$ is considered. It is known that under some conditions on parameters $I_n$ the phase transition occurs for the model. We define…
We present a finite-size scaling analysis of the droplet condensation-evaporation transition of a lattice gas (in two and three dimensions) and a Lennard-Jones gas (in three dimensions) at fixed density. Parallel multicanonical simulations…
While classical theory of phase transitions deals with systems where shape variation is energetically neutral, the account of rigidity can lead to the emergence of new thermodynamic features. One of them is a special type of critical points…
A dryout point is recognized as the position where the phase transition from liquid to vapor occurs. In the one-dimensional case, by solving the stationary incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations with phase transition, we derive a…

We study circle maps with a flat interval where the critical exponents at the two boundary points of the flat spot might be different. The space of such systems is partitioned in two connected parts whose common boundary only depends on the…
We devise a geometric description of bounded systems at criticality in any dimension $d$. This is achieved by altering the flat metric with a space dependent scale factor $\gamma(x)$, $x$ belonging to a general bounded domain $\Omega$.…

First order quantum phase transitions (1QPTs) are signaled, in the thermodynamic limit, by discontinuous changes in the ground state properties. These discontinuities affect expectation values of observables, including spatial correlations.…
Phase diagrams chart material properties with respect to one or more external or internal parameters such as pressure or magnetisation; as such, they play a fundamental role in many theoretical and applied fields of science. In this work,…
Analyzing in detail the first corrections to the scaling hypothesis, we develop accelerated methods for the determination of critical points from finite size data. The output of these procedures are sequences of pseudo-critical points which…
We revisit the two-dimensional quantum Ising model by computing renormalization group flows close to its quantum critical point. The low but finite temperature regime in the vicinity of the quantum critical point is squashed between two…
We employ the recently introduced Ising-QCD partition function (N.~G. Antoniou {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. D 97, 034015 (2018)) to explore in detail the behaviour of the moments of the baryon-number, within the critical region around the…
To understand the finite-size-scaling properties of phases transitions in classical and quantum models in the presence of quenched disorder, it has proven to be fruitful to introduce the notion of a finite-size-pseudo-critical point in each…
We study the distribution of finite size pseudo-critical points in a one-dimensional random quantum magnet with a quantum phase transition described by an infinite randomness fixed point. Pseudo-critical points are defined in three…
We use an alternative approach to study the quantum phase transition in a coupled cavity lattice at finite temperature. As an illustrative example, we investigate the behaviors of the trace distance and quantum phase transition in a…

Finite-size scaling (FSS) provides a framework for investigating the possible presence of a critical end point (CEP) in the QCD phase diagram using fluctuation observables measured in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. A recent analysis…
By solving the Schr\"odinger equation one obtains the whole energy spectrum, both the bound and the continuum states. If the Hamiltonian depends on a set of parameters, these could be tuned to a transition from bound to continuum states.…
