The phase transitions of random-field q-state Potts models in d=3 dimensions are studied by renormalization-group theory by exact solution of a hierarchical lattice and, equivalently, approximate Migdal-Kadanoff solutions of a cubic…
It is well-known that the $q$-state clock model can exhibit a Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transition if $q$ is equal to or greater than a certain threshold, which has been believed to be five. However, recent numerical studies indicate that…
We consider the 2D $J_1-J_2$ classical XY model on a square lattice. In the frustrated phase corresponding to $J_2>J_1/2$, an Ising like order parameter emerges by an ``order due to disorder'' effect. This leads to a discrete $Z_2$ symmetry…
Phase transition in the two-dimensional $q$-state Potts model with random ferromagnetic couplings in the large-q limit is conjectured to be described by the isotropic version of the infinite randomness fixed point of the random…

A magnetic system with a phase transition at temperature $T_c$ may exhibit double resonance peaks under a periodic external magnetic field because the time scale matches the external frequency at two different temperatures, one above $T_c$…
The aim of this paper is to illustrate that generalized two-dimensional XY models (proposed by Romano and Zagrebnov) may also support a first-order phase transition. Two approaches are employed to accurately determine the critical parameter…
Motivated by recent attempts to quantum simulate lattice models with continuous Abelian symmetries using discrete approximations, we define an extended-O(2) model by adding a $\gamma \cos(q\varphi)$ term to the ordinary O(2) model with…
We present a comprehensive Monte Carlo study of the ordering kinetics in the $d=2$ ferromagnetic $q$-state clock model with nonconserved Glauber dynamics. In agreement with previous studies we find that $q \geqslant 5$ is characterized by…
A paradigmatic example of a phase transition taking place in the absence of symmetry-breaking is provided by the Berezinkii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition in the two-dimensional XY model. In the framework of canonical ensemble, this…
We study the phases and phase transitions of a disordered one-dimensional quantum $q$-state clock Hamiltonian using large-scale Monte Carlo simulations. Making contact with earlier results, we confirm that the clean, translational invariant…
The $q$-state clock model with the cosine potential has a single phase transition for $q\leq4$ and two transitions for $q\geq5$. It is shown by Monte Carlo simulations that the helicity modulus for the five-state clock model ($q=5$) does…
Using the technique of supervised neural networks (NN), we study the phase transitions of two-dimensional (2D) 6- and 8-state clock models on the square lattice. The employed NN has only one input layer, one hidden layer of 2 neurons, and…
The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition is a typical topological phase transition defined between binding and unbinding states of vortices and antivortices, which is not accompanied by spontaneous symmetry breaking. It is known…
