A 2D Fully Frustrated XY(FFXY) class of models is shown to contain a new groundstate in addition to the checkerboard groundstates of the standard 2D FFXY model. The spin configuration of this additional groundstate is obtained. Associated…

We study the critical properties of three dimensional frustrated magnets, diluted with non-magnetic impurities. We show that these systems exhibit a second order phase transition, corresponding to a new universality class. In the pure case,…
We present the first example of a phase transition in a nonequilibrium steady-state that can be argued analytically to be first order. The system of interest is a two-species reaction-diffusion problem whose control parameter is the total…

Quantum phase transitions in Mott insulators do not fit easily into the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm. A recently proposed alternative to it is the so called deconfined quantum criticality scenario, providing a new paradigm for quantum…
The 2D RP(2) gauge model is studied using the Monte-Carlo Renormalization Group. We confirm the first-order transition reported by Solomon et al. (PL 112B, (1982)) ending in a critical point associated with vorticity. We find evidence for a…

For the two dimensional classical XY model we present extensive high -temperature -phase bulk data extracted based on a novel finite size scaling (FSS) Monte Carlo technique, along with FSS data near criticality. Our data verify that…

We analyze the validity of perturbative renormalization group estimates obtained within the fixed dimension approach of frustrated magnets. We reconsider the resummed five-loop beta-functions obtained within the minimal subtraction scheme…

The strength of perpendicular anisotropy is known to drive the spin reorientation in thin magnetic films. Here we consider the effect different order anisotropies have on two phase transitions; the spin reorientation transition and the…
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…

Monte Carlo simulations are used to show that the steady state of the d=2, two-temperature, diffusive XY model displays a continuous phase transition from a homogeneous disordered phase to a phase with long-range order. The long-range order…
