We consider classical $O(N)$ vector models in dimension three and higher and investigate the nature of the low-temperature expansions for their multipoint spin correlations. We prove that such expansions define asymptotic series, and derive…
Results are presented for the nonequilibrium infinite-U Anderson model using a large-N approach, where $N$ is the degeneracy of the impurity level, and where nonequilibrium is established by coupling the level to two leads at two different…
The extended Falicov-Kimball model is analyzed exactly for finite temperatures ($T\geq0$) in the limit of large dimensions. Onsite and intersite density-density interactions $U$ and $V$ are included in the model. Using the dynamical mean…
A famous example of gauge/gravity duality is the result that the entropy density of strongly coupled ${\cal N}=4$ SYM in four dimensions for large N is exactly 3/4 of the Stefan-Boltzmann limit. In this work, I revisit the massless O(N)…
We investigate the phase diagram and critical behavior of a three-dimensional lattice CP(N-1) model in the large-N limit. Numerical evidence of first-order transitions is always observed for sufficiently large values of N, i.e. N>2 up to…
We investigate the effect of thermal fluctuations on the (mean-field) Abrikosov phase. The lower critical dimension of the superconducting phase is three, indicating the absence of the Abrikosov phase for dimensions d<3. Within the d=3…
We evaluate the thermal one point function of higher spin currents in the critical model of $U(N)$ complex scalars interacting with a quartic potential and the $U(N)$ Gross-Neveu model of Dirac fermions at large $N$ and strong coupling…
We show that equilibrium systems in $d$ dimension that obey the inequality $d\nu> 2,$ known as Harris criterion, exhibit suppressed energy fluctuation in their critical state. Ashkin-Teller model is an example in $d=2$ where the correlation…
We study conformal field theories at finite temperature in the presence of a temporal conformal line defect, wrapping the thermal circle, akin to a Polyakov loop in gauge theories. Although several symmetries of the conformal group are…
We revisit the classic $O(N)$ symmetric scalar field theories in $d$ dimensions with interaction $(\phi^i \phi^i)^2$. For $2<d<4$ these theories flow to the Wilson-Fisher fixed points for any $N$. A standard large $N$ Hubbard-Stratonovich…
Finite-temperature charge-ordering phase transition in quasi one-dimensional (1D) molecular conductors is investigated theoretically, based on a quasi 1D extended Hubbard model at quarter filling with interchain Coulomb repulsion $V_\perp$.…
Using optimized perturbation theory, we evaluate the effective potential for the massless two dimensional Gross-Neveu model at finite temperature and density containing corrections beyond the leading large-N contribution. For large-N, our…
We study the thermal properties of the O(N) vector-like scalar theory in the singlet sector in 2+1 dimensions. This theory is conjectured to be the AdS/CFT dual of Vasiliev higher spin gravity. We find that a large N transition occurs but…
A new perturbation theory is proposed for studying finite-size effects near critical point of the $\phi^4$ model with a one-component order parameter. The new approach is based on the techniques of generating functional and functional…

The presence of nearby conformal field theories (CFTs) hidden in the complex plane of the tuning parameter was recently proposed as an elegant explanation for the ubiquity of "weakly first-order" transitions in condensed matter and…
We consider the macroscopic large N limit of the Circular beta-Ensemble at high temperature, and its weighted version as well, in the regime where the inverse temperature scales as beta/N for some parameter beta>0. More precisely, in the…
We apply the large-charge expansion to O(N) vector models starting from first principles, focusing on the Wilson-Fisher point in three dimensions. We compute conformal dimensions at zero and finite temperature at fixed charge Q,…
