The dynamics of the Luttinger model after a quantum quench is studied. We compute in detail one and two-point correlation functions for two types of quenches: from a non-interacting to an interacting Luttinger model and vice-versa. In the…
We map the problem of diffusion in the quenched trap model onto a new stochastic process: Brownian motion which is terminated at the coverage "time" ${\cal S}_\alpha=\sum_{x=-\infty} ^\infty (n_x)^\alpha$ with $n_x$ being the number of…
We study random dynamical systems composed of LSV maps with varying parameters, without any mixing assumptions on the base space of random dynamics. We establish a quenched central limit theorem and identify conditions under which the…
Nematic elastomers do not show the discontinuous, first-order, phase transition that the Landau-De Gennes mean field theory predicts for a quadrupolar ordering in 3D. We attribute this behavior to the presence of network crosslinks, which…
The effects of quenched disorder on the critical properties of itinerant quantum magnets are considered. Particular attention is paid to locally ordered rare regions that are formed in the presence of quenched disorder even when the bulk…
The off-equilibrium purely dissipative dynamics (Model A) of the O(N) vector model is considered at criticality in an $\epsilon = 4- d > 0$ up to O($\epsilon^2$). The scaling behavior of two-time response and correlation functions at zero…
We explore the properties of the low-temperature phase of the O($n$) loop model in two dimensions by means of transfer-matrix calculations and finite-size scaling. We determine the stability of this phase with respect to several kinds of…
Phase transitions in non-equilibrium steady states of O(n)-symmetric models with reversible mode couplings are studied using dynamic field theory and the renormalization group. The systems are driven out of equilibrium by dynamical…
We study the statistics of the work done in a zero temperature quench of the coupling constant in the Dicke model describing the interaction between a gas of two level atoms and a single electromagnetic cavity mode. When either the final or…
The linear O($N$) sigma model undergoes a symmetry restoring phase transition at finite temperature. We show that the nonlinear O($N$) sigma model also undergoes a symmetry restoring phase transition; the critical temperatures are the same…
We have studied quantum phase transition induced by a quench in different one dimensional spin systems. Our analysis is based on the dynamical mechanism which envisages nonadiabaticity in the vicinity of the critical point. This causes spin…
We develop an efficient numerical method to study the quantum critical behavior of disordered systems with $\mathcal{O}(N)$ order-parameter symmetry in the large$-N$ limit. It is based on the iterative solution of the large$-N$ saddle-point…
The problem of critical behaviour of three dimensional random anisotropy magnets, which constitute a wide class of disordered magnets is considered. Previous results obtained in experiments, by Monte Carlo simulations and within different…
We study the unitary time evolution of the order parameter of a quantum system after a sudden quench in the parameter driving the transition. By mapping the dynamics onto the imaginary time path-integral in a film geometry we derive the…
We suggest a tetracritical fixed point to naturally occur in strongly interacting theories. As a fundamental example we analyze the temperature--quark chemical potential phase diagram of QCD with fermions in the adjoint representation of…
We study the influence of quenched disorder on the two-dimensional melting behavior by using both video-microscopy of superparamagnetic colloidal particles and computer simulations of repulsive parallel dipoles. Quenched disorder is…
Quenched disorder affects significantly the behavior of phase transitions. The Imry-Ma-Aizenman-Wehr-Berker argument prohibits first-order or discontinuous transitions and their concomitant phase coexistence in low-dimensional equilibrium…
The effect of quantum fluctuations on a nearly flat, nonrelativistic two-dimensional membrane with extrinsic curvature stiffness and tension is investigated. The renormalization group analysis is carried out in first-order perturbative…
In quenched disordered systems, the existence of ordering is generally believed to be only possible in the weak disorder regime (disregarding models of spin-glass type). In particular, sufficiently large random fields is expected to…
We extend the Hertz-Millis theory of quantum phase transitions in itinerant electron systems to phases with broken discrete symmetry. Using a set of coupled flow equations derived within the functional renormalization group framework, we…
