Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in statistical physics is a macroscopic collective phenomenon. For the paradigmatic Q-state Potts model it means a transition from the disordered color-symmetric phase to an ordered phase in which one…

We consider spin systems with long-range interactions in nonadditive regime. When the non-additive scaling limit is employed, the energy and the entropy compete and the system exhibits some phase transitions. Such systems do not satisfy the…

We investigate the critical behaviour of the three-dimensional, three state Potts model in presence of a negative external field h, i.e. disfavouring one of the three states. A genuine phase transition is present for all values of |h|,…
We consider a variety of nearest-neighbor spin models defined on the d-dimensional hypercubic lattice Z^d. Our essential assumption is that these models satisfy the condition of reflection positivity. We prove that whenever the associated…
The two-dimensional $Q$-state Potts model with real couplings has a first-order transition for $Q>4$. We study a loop-model realization in which $Q$ is a continuous parameter. This model allows for the collision of a critical and a…
We discuss the q-state Potts models for q<=4, in the scaling regimes close to their critical or tricritical points. Starting from the kink S-matrix elements proposed by Chim and Zamolodchikov, the bootstrap is closed for the scaling regions…

Quantum systems can exhibit a great deal of universality at low temperature due to the structure of ground states and the critical points separating distinct states. On the other hand, quantum time evolution of the same systems involves all…
