Quantum phase transitions of metals involve changes in the Fermi surface, and can be divided into three categories. The first two categories involve symmetry breaking, and lead to a deformation or reconstruction of the Fermi surface. The…

We study the phase diagram of the two-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model with spin-dependent anisotropic hopping at half-filling. The system develops Ising antiferromagnetic long-range order already at infinitesimal repulsive interaction…
We present a numerical study based on Monte Carlo algorithm of the magnetic properties of a mixed Ising ferrimagnetic model on a cubic lattice where spins $\sigma =\pm 1/2$ and spins $S=0,\pm 1$ are in alternating sites on the lattice. We…
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…
We analyze optical conductivity of a clean two-dimensional electron system in a Fermi liquid regime near a $T=0$ Ising-nematic quantum critical point (QCP), and extrapolate the results to a QCP. We employ direct perturbation theory up to…
We study the optical conductivity of a pristine two-dimensional electron system near an Ising-nematic quantum critical point. We discuss the relation between the frequency scaling of the conductivity and the shape of the Fermi surface,…
We present a Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) study of the 1D Kondo lattice at non-integer filling, i.e. a one-dimensional version of a heavy electron metal. For this special system the minus-sign problem turns out to be strongly reduced, which…
We propose a multi-band Fermi-Bose Hubbard model with on-site fermion-boson conversion and general filling factor in three dimensions. Such a Hamiltonian models an atomic Fermi gas trapped in a lattice potential and subject to a Feshbach…
The quantum antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 Ising model on a triangular lattice and analogous fully frustrated Ising model on a square lattice with quantum fluctuations induced by the application of the transverse magnetic field are studied at…
Understanding non-Fermi liquids in dimensions higher than one remains one of the most formidable challenges in modern condensed matter physics. These systems, characterized by an abundance of gapless degrees of freedom and the absence of…
Spinless fermions on the honeycomb lattice with repulsive nearest-neighbor interactions are known to harbour a quantum critical point at half-filling, with critical behaviour in the Gross-Neveu (chiral Ising) universality class. The…
We study a quantum phase transition of electrons on a two-dimensional square lattice. Our lattice model preserves the full $\mathrm{O}(4)$ symmetry of free spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Dirac fermions on a bipartite lattice. In particular, it not only…
For three-dimensional non-interacting multi-band metals, we show that important information about the shape and the quantum geometry of Fermi surfaces is encoded in the subleading logarithmic term of bipartite charge fluctuations. This…
We calculate the Fermi surface of electrons in hole-doped, extended t-J models on a square lattice in a regime where no long-range antiferromagnetic order is present, and no symmetries are broken. Using the "spinon-dopon" formalism of…
For nearly a century, the Stoner model has dominated research in itinerant ferromagnetism, yet recent work on ultracold, optically trapped Fermi gases suggests that phase separation of spins occurs independent of long-range magnetic order.…
Because Fermi liquids are inherently non-interacting states of matter, all electronic levels below the chemical potential are doubly occupied. Consequently, the simplest way of breaking Fermi liquid theory is to engineer a model in which…
The fermionic Hubbard model (FHM)[1], despite its simple form, captures essential features of strongly correlated electron physics. Ultracold fermions in optical lattices[2, 3] provide a clean and well-controlled platform for simulating…
The phase diagram at zero temperature of a lattice SU(2) scalar-fermion model in (2+1) dimensions is studied numerically and with Mean-Field methods. Special attention is devoted to the strong coupling regime. We have developed a new method…
We have studied the antiferromagnetic quantum phase transition of a 2D Kondo-Heisenberg square lattice using the non-linear sigma model. A renormalization group analysis of the competing Kondo -- RKKY interaction was carried out to 1-loop…
