The fluctuations of massless Dirac fermion can not only turn a first-order bosonic phase transition (in the Landau sense) to a quantum critical point, but also work reversely to enhance the first-order transition itself, depending on the…
The global phase diagrams of the Askin-Teller model are calculated in d=2 and 3 by renormalization-group theory that is exact on the hierarchical lattice and approximate on the recently improved Migdal-Kadanoff procedure. Three different…
The Hartree-Fock approximation to the many-fermion problem can break exact symmetries, and in some cases by changing a parameter in the interaction one can drive the Hartree-Fock minimum from a symmetry-breaking state to a…
