We describe a formulation to deduce the phase shifts, which determine the ground-state properties of interacting quantum-dot systems with the inversion symmetry, from the fixed-point eigenvalues of the numerical renormalization group (NRG).…
Standard theories of electroweak interactions are based on the concept of a gauge symmetry broken by the Higgs mechanism. If they are placed in an environment with a sufficiently high temperature, the symmetry gets restored. It turns out…

The electric multipole strength distributions for transitions from the ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}(0_1^+)$ ground state to $3\alpha$ ($0^+$, $1^-$, $2^+$, and $3^-$) continuum states are studied in terms of $3\alpha$ model. Several sets of the…

Novel equations for the electric dipole polarizability $\alpha_{_{E1}}$ of low-lying excited states in atomic nuclei -- and the related $(-2)$ moment of the total photo-absorption cross section, $\sigma_{_{-2}}$ -- are inferred in terms of…
Electric quadrupole (E2) moments and transitions provide measures of nuclear deformation and related collective structure. However, matrix elements of the E2 operator are sensitive to the nuclear wave function at large distances and are…
Very dense and/or hot hadronic substance (e.g. the one with energy density greatly exceeding that of a normal nucleus) transforms itself into a subhadronic substance which obeys macroscopic classical physics, in particular suffers phase…
The breaking of the electroweak symmetry, and origin of the associated ``weak scale,'' may be due to a new strong interaction. Theoretical developments over the past decade have led to viable models and mechanisms that are consistent with…
We study the structural phase transition, originally associated with the highest superconducting critical temperature $T_c$ measured in high-pressure sulfur hydride. A quantitative description of its pressure dependence has been elusive for…
We study the 3d effective field theory of a weakly coupled two Higgs-doublet scalar model at high temperature. Our model has three scalar quartic couplings and an $O(4)$ symmetry which is spontaneously broken by a nonzero scalar field $vev$…

Symmetry-breaking quantum phase transitions play a key role in several condensed matter, cosmology and nuclear physics theoretical models. Its observation in real systems is often hampered by finite temperatures and limited control of the…
