At imaginary values of the quark chemical potential $\mu$, Quantum Chromodynamics shows an interesting phase structure due to an exact center, or Roberge-Weiss (RW), symmetry. This can be used to constrain QCD at real $\mu$, where the sign…

In this paper, we study the 3D $N_{\rm f}$-flavor CP$^1$ model (a set of $N_{\rm f}$ CP$^1$ variables) coupled with a dynamical compact U(1) gauge field by means of Monte-Carlo simulations. This model is relevant to 2D $s=1/2$ quantum spin…
We discuss results of numerical analyses of the 3+1 dimensional Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model at non-zero baryon density. By studying relevant order parameters, it is shown that the model goes through a transition between a vacuum with broken…
We consider the $S=1/2$ Heisenberg model with nearest-neighbor interaction $J$ and an additional multi-spin interaction $Q_3$ on the square lattice. The $Q_3$ term consists of three bond-singlet projectors and is chosen to favor the…

The canonical Gross-Neveu model for $N$ two-component Dirac fermions in $2+1$ dimensions suffers a continuous phase transition at a critical interaction $g_{c1} \sim 1/N$ at large $N$, at which its continuous symmetry $\text{SO}(2N)$ is…
