As a paradigmatic example of multi-scale quantum criticality, we consider the Pomeranchuk instability of an isotropic Fermi liquid in two spatial dimensions, d=2. The corresponding Ginzburg-Landau theory for the quadrupolar fluctuations of…
In N=2 supersymmetric QCD with the U(N) gauge group and N_f>N we study the crossover transition from the weak coupling regime at large \xi to strong coupling at small \xi where \xi is the Fayet--Iliopoulos parameter. We find that at strong…
For the quantum phase transition in the transverse-field Ising chain, Kramers-Wannier duality not only protects its critical properties but also pinpoints the location of the phase transition. Its role in out-of-equilibrium, monitored…
Quantum electrodynamics in 2+1-dimensions (QED$_3$) is a strongly coupled conformal field theory (CFT) of a U(1) gauge field coupled to $2N$ two-component massless fermions. The $N=2$ CFT has been proposed as a ground state of the spin-1/2…
The presence of a boundary enriches the nature of quantum phase transitions. However, the boundary critical phenomena in topological superconductors remain underexplored so far. Here, we investigate the boundary criticality in a…
We investigate the continuous quantum phase transition from an antiferromagnetic metal to a heavy fermion liquid based on the Kondo lattice model in two dimensions. We propose that antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations and conduction…
We develop an efficient numerical method to study the quantum critical behavior of disordered systems with $\mathcal{O}(N)$ order-parameter symmetry in the large$-N$ limit. It is based on the iterative solution of the large$-N$ saddle-point…
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…
We consider an important generalization of the Dicke model in which multi-level atoms, instead of two-level atoms as in conventional Dicke model, interact with a single photonic mode. We explore the phase diagram of a broad class of…
Deconfined quantum critical points (DQCP) have attracted lots of attentions in the past decades, but were mainly restricted to incompressible phases. On the other hand, various experimental puzzles call for new theory of unconventional…
We find novel phase transitions and critical phenomena that occur only outside the linear-response regime of current-driven nonequilibrium states. We consider the strongly-interacting (3+1)-dimensional N=4 large-Nc SU(Nc) supersymmetric…
We employ the recent results on the generalization of the $c$-theorem to 2+1-d to derive non-perturbative results for strongly interacting quantum field theories, including QED-3 and the critical theory corresponding to certain quantum…
We present evidence about a critical behavior of $4D$ compact QED (CQED) pure gauge theory. Regularizing the theory on lattices homotopic to a sphere, we present evidence for a critical, i.e. second order like behavior at the deconfinement…
We use the critical point large $N$ formalism to calculate the critical exponents corresponding to the fermion mass operator and flavour non-singlet fermion bilinear operator in the universality class of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED)…
We study quantum critical behavior in three dimensional lattice Gross-Neveu models containing two massless Dirac fermions. We focus on two models with SU(2) flavor symmetry and either a $Z_2$ or a U(1) chiral symmetry. Both models could not…
We study the $O(2N)$ symmetric Gross-Neveu model at finite density in the presence of a $U(1)$ chemical potential $h$ for a generic number $a \leq N-2$ of fermion fields. By combining perturbative quantum field theory, semiclassical large…
The interplay between topology and criticality has been a recent interest of study in condensed matter physics. A unique topological transition between certain critical phases has been observed as a consequence of the edge modes living at…
Topology plays a cardinal role in explaining phases and quantum phase transitions beyond the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm. In this study, we formulate a set of models of Dirac fermions in 2+1 dimensions with…
