The dynamics of 2d Potts models, which are temperature driven through the phase transition using updating procedures in the Glauber universality class, is investigated. We present calculations of the hysteresis for the (internal) energy and…
The two-dimensional ($2d$) fully frustrated Planar Rotator model on a square lattice has been the subject of a long controversy due to the simultaneous $Z_2$ and $O(2)$ symmetry existing in the model. The $O(2)$ symmetry being responsible…
The three-dimensional integer-valued lattice gauge theory, which is also known as a "frozen superconductor," can be obtained as a certain limit of the Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity, and is believed to be in the same…
We study the finite-size behavior of two-dimensional spin-glass models. We consider the +-J model for two different values of the probability of the antiferromagnetic bonds and the model with Gaussian distributed couplings. The analysis of…
We test the universal finite-size scaling of the cluster mass order parameter in two-dimensional (2D) isotropic and directed continuum percolation models below the percolation threshold by computer simulations. We found that the simulation…
Universality is a pillar of modern critical phenomena. The standard scenario is that the two-point correlation algebraically decreases with the distance $r$ as $g(r) \sim r^{2-d-\eta}$, with $d$ the spatial dimension and $\eta$ the…
We investigated the phase transition behavior of a binary spreading process in two dimensions for different particle diffusion strengths ($D$). We found that $N>2$ cluster mean-field approximations must be considered to get consistent…
We revisit universal features of duality in linear and nonlinear relativistic scalar and Abelian 1-form theories with single or multiple fields, which exhibit ordinary or generalized global symmetries. We show that such global symmetries…
We consider two mean-field like models which belong to the universality class of absorbing phase transitions with a conserved field. In both cases we derive analytically the order parameter as function of the control parameter and of an…
The phase-diagram of the two-dimensional Blume-Capel model with a random crystal field is investigated within the framework of a real-space renormalization group approximation. Our results suggest that, for any amount of randomness, the…
The properties of the pure-site clusters of spin models, i.e. the clusters which are obtained by joining nearest-neighbour spins of the same sign, are here investigated. In the Ising model in two dimensions it is known that such clusters…
One-dimensional thermodynamic instabilities are phase transitions not prohibited by Landau's argument, because the energy of the domain wall (DW) which separates the two phases is infinite. Whether they actually occur in a given system of…
We provide a new criterion based on graph duality to predict whether the 3-state Potts antiferromagnet on a plane quadrangulation has a zero- or finite-temperature critical point, and its universality class. The former case occurs for…
