We analyze the ground state properties of Bose-Fermi mixtures using a mean-field treatment of the boson-fermion interaction on a simple cubic lattice. In the deep superfluid limit of the bosonic sector and the BCS regime of the fermion…
As is known, at the Gibbs-Boltzmann equilibrium, the mean-field $q$-state Potts model with a ferromagnetic coupling has only a first order phase transition when $q\geq 3$, while there is no phase transition for an antiferromagnetic…
We consider several types of quantum critical phenomena from finite-density gauge-gravity duality which to different degrees lie outside the Landau-Ginsburg-Wilson paradigm. These include: (1) a "bifurcating" critical point, for which the…

Quantum synchronization (QS) in dissipative systems is often inferred from smooth phase locking, leaving open whether its breakdown constitutes a genuine nonequilibrium transition. Here we introduce a Liouvillian framework that classifies…
