We review the pertinent features of the phase diagram of the zero-field Blume-Capel model, focusing on the aspects of transition order, finite-size scaling and universality. In particular, we employ a range of Monte Carlo simulation methods…
Besides the chemical constituents, it is the lattice geometry that controls the most important material properties. In many interesting compounds, the arrangement of elements leads to pronounced anisotropies, which reflect into a varying…
We study the Blume-Capel universality class in $d=\frac{10}{3}-\epsilon$ dimensions. The RG flow is extracted by looking at poles in fractional dimension of three loop diagrams using $\overline{\rm MS}$. The theory is the only nontrivial…
We use an m-vicinity method to examine Ising models on hypercube lattices of high dimensions d>=3. This method is applicable for both short-range and long-range interactions. We introduce a small parameter, which determines whether the…
We introduce a universal combination of susceptibility and correlation length in the 3D Ising model, depending both on temperature and external magnetic field. Starting from a parametric representation of the equation of state, we study its…
The Ashkin-Teller model can be formulated as a pair of 2D Ising models, interacting via a four-spin interaction. I consider the case of weak anisotropy (slight a-symmetry between the two Ising layers) and weak coupling. I show that the…
We report on large-scale Wang-Landau Monte Carlo simulations of the critical behavior of two spin models in two- (2d) and three-dimensions (3d), namely the 2d random-bond Ising model and the pure 3d Blume-Capel model at zero crystal-field…
We study the off-equilibrium relaxational dynamics at criticality in the three-dimensional Blume-Capel model whose static critical behaviour belongs to the 3d-Ising universality class. Using "improved" Hamiltonian (the leading corrections…
In this work a symmetry of universal finite-size scaling functions under a certain anisotropic scale transformation is postulated. This transformation connects the properties of a finite two-dimensional system at criticality with…

After having introduced the notion of universality in statistical mechanics and its importance for our comprehension of the macroscopic behavior of interacting systems, I review recent progress in the understanding of the scaling limit of…
The common feature for a nontrivial hard problem is the existence of nontrivial topological structures, non-planarity graphs, nonlocalities, or long-range spin entanglements in a model system with randomness. For instance, the Boolean…
The perturbation approach is used to derive the exact correlation length $\xi$ of the dilute A_L lattice models in regimes 1 and 2 for L odd. In regime 2 the A_3 model is the E_8 lattice realisation of the two-dimensional Ising model in a…
We perform high-statistics Monte Carlo simulations of three-dimensional Ising spin-glass models on cubic lattices of size L: the +- J (Edwards-Anderson) Ising model for two values of the disorder parameter p, p=0.5 and p=0.7 (up to L=28 and…
We consider the critical temperature in strongly anisotropic antiferromagnetic materials, with weak coupling between stacked planes, in order to determine the interplane coupling constant from experimentally measured susceptibilities. We…
It is known that the normal three-dimensional (3D) Ising model on a cubic lattice is dual to the Wegner's 3D $Z_2$ lattice gauge theory. Here we find an unusual $Z_2$ lattice gauge theory which is dual to the 3D Ising model with not only…
We study the conformal bootstrap constraints for 3D conformal field theories with a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ or parity symmetry, assuming a single relevant scalar operator $\epsilon$ that is invariant under the symmetry. When there is additionally a…
We investigate the complex-temperature singularities of the susceptibility of the 2D Ising model on a square lattice. From an analysis of low-temperature series expansions, we find evidence that as one approaches the point $u=u_s=-1$ (where…
We study the standard three-dimensional driven diffusive system on a simple cubic lattice where particle jumps along a given lattice direction are biased by an infinitely strong field, while those along other directions follow the usual…
