The random-field Ising model shows extreme critical slowdown that has been described by activated dynamic scaling: the characteristic time for the relaxation to equilibrium diverges exponentially with the correlation length, $\ln \tau\sim…
We show, via explicit computation on a constrained bosonic model, that the presence of subsystem symmetries can lead to a quantum phase transition (QPT) where the critical point exhibits an emergent enhanced symmetry. Such a transition…
The AdS/CFT correspondence conjectures a holographic duality between gravity in a bulk space and a critical quantum field theory on its boundary. Tensor networks have come to provide toy models to understand such bulk-boundary…
We study the critical Ising model with free boundary conditions on finite domains in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with $d\geq4$. Under the assumption, so far only proved completely for high $d$, that the critical infinite volume two-point function is of…
The critical behavior of the random transverse-field Ising model in finite dimensional lattices is governed by infinite disorder fixed points, several properties of which have already been calculated by the use of the strong disorder…
Critical 2D Ising model with a boundary magnetic field is arguably the simplest QFT that interpolates between two non-trivial fixed points. We use the diagonalising Bogolyubov transformation for this model to investigate two quantities.…
