We investigate the interaction dependence of the liquid-gas critical point of symmetric nuclear matter in finite-temperature lattice effective field theory. Building on the pinhole-trace algorithm, we benchmark a first-order perturbative…
We reexamine the range of validity of finite-size scaling in the $\phi^4$ lattice model and the $\phi^4$ field theory below four dimensions. We show that general renormalization-group arguments based on the renormalizability of the $\phi^4$…
We determine the critical point and the ratios $\beta/\nu$ and $\gamma/\nu$ of critical exponents of the deconfinement transition in $SU(2)$ gauge theory by applying the $\chi^2$-method to Monte Carlo data of the modulus and the square of…
We describe a 4D U(1) lattice gauge theory with charged scalar $\phi$ and fermion $\chi$ matter fields ($\chi U \phi$ model). At sufficiently strong gauge coupling, the chiral symmetry is broken and the mass of the unconfined composite…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs when the underlying laws of a physical system are symmetric, but the vacuum state chosen by the system is not. The (3+1)d $\phi^4$ theory is relatively simple compared to other more complex theories,…
In the loop $O(n)$ model a collection of mutually-disjoint self-avoiding loops is drawn at random on a finite domain of a lattice with probability proportional to $${\lambda^{\# \mbox{edges}} n^{\# \mbox{loops}},}$$ where $\lambda, n \in…
We numerically investigate the three-dimensional O(6) model on 12^3 to 120^3 lattices. From Binder's cumulant at vanishing magnetic field we obtain the critical coupling J_c=1.42865(5) and verify this value with the \chi^2-method. The…
In the Hamiltonian picture, free spin-$1/2$ Dirac fermions on a bipartite lattice have an $O(4)$ (spin-charge) symmetry. Here we construct an interacting lattice model with an interaction $V$, which is similar to the Hubbard interaction but…
We summarize results from a study of spherically symmetric collapse of a {\it charged} (complex) massless scalar-field \cite{Hod}. We present an analytic argument which conjecture the generalization of the mass-scaling relation and echoing…
We present a phase diagram study of the O(4) model as an effective theory for 2-flavor QCD. In the chiral limit, both theories perform spontaneous symmetry breaking with isomorphic groups, which suggests that they belong to the same…
We report the results of a measurement of susceptibilities in noncompact $QED_4$ in $8^4, 10^4$ and $12^4$ lattices. Due to the potentialities of the $MFA$ approach, we have done simulations in the chiral limit which are therefore free from…
In 4d lattice simulations of Standard Model like theories, the renormalized gauge coupling in the broken phase can be determined from the prefactor of the Yukawa term in the static potential. We compute the same quantity in terms of the…
A fundamental issue in the renormalization-group (RG) theory of critical phenomena concerns the allowed values of critical exponents that are consistent with the continuous nature of a phase transition. Here we conjecture a lower bound for…
We address a mean-field zero-temperature Ginzburg-Landau, or \phi^4, model subjected to quenched additive noise, which has been used recently as a framework for analyzing collective effects induced by diversity. We first make use of a…
We prove that the real four-dimensional Euclidean noncommutative \phi^4-model is renormalisable to all orders in perturbation theory. Compared with the commutative case, the bare action of relevant and marginal couplings contains…
A binary liquid near its consolute point exhibits critical fluctuations of the local composition; the diverging correlation length has always challenged simulations. The method of choice for the calculation of critical points in the phase…
A zero-field Ising model with ferromagnetic coupling constants on the so-called Labyrinth tiling is investigated. Alternatively, this can be regarded as an Ising model on a square lattice with a quasi-periodic distribution of up to eight…
We study spatial anisotropy effects on the bulk and finite-size critical behavior of the O$(n)$ symmetric anisotropic $\phi^4$ lattice model with periodic boundary conditions in a $d$-dimensional hypercubic geometry above, at and below…
We have verified various proposals that were suggested in our last paper concerning the continuum limit of a compact formulation of the lattice U(1) pure gauge theory in 4 dimensions using a nonperturbative gauge-fixed regularization. Our…
We study the quantum critical phase of a SU(2) symmetric spin-2 chain obtained from spin-2 bosons in a one-dimensional lattice. We obtain the scaling of the entanglement entropy and finite-size energies by exact diagonalization and…
