In this report we summarize a recent progress in exploration of correlated two-dimensional electron states in partially filled high Landau levels. At a mean-field Hartree-Fock level they can be described as charge-density waves, either…
The Hofstadter problem is the lattice analog of the quantum Hall effect and is the paradigmatic example of topology induced by an applied magnetic field. Conventionally, the Hofstadter problem involves adding $\sim 10^4$ T magnetic fields…
We investigate the evolution of phase transition of the classical fully compact dimer model on the bipartite square lattice with second nearest bonds at finite temperatures. We use the numeric Monte Carlo method with the directed-loop…
The helical edge states in a quantum spin Hall insulator are presumably protected by time- reversal symmetry. However, even in the presence of magnetic field which breaks time-reversal symmetry, the helical edge conduction can still exist,…
We study the t-J model in one dimension by numerically projecting the true ground state from a Luttinger liquid trial wave function. We find the model exhibits Luttinger liquid behavior for most of the phase diagram in which interaction…
The quantum XXZ spin model with alternating bond strengths under magnetic field has a rich equilibrium phase diagram which includes Haldane, Luttinger liquid, singlet, and paramagnetic phases. We show that the nearest neighbor bipartite and…
We construct a local interacting quantum dimer model on the square lattice, whose zero-temperature phase diagram is characterized by a line of critical points separating two ordered phases of the valence bond crystal type. On one side, the…

One-dimensional systems of interacting atoms are an ideal laboratory to study the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition. In the renormalization group picture there is essentially a two-parameter phase diagram to explore. We first present how…
We explore the critical behaviour of two and three dimensional lattice models of polymers in dilute solution where the monomers carry a magnetic moment which interacts ferromagnetically with near-neighbour monomers. Specifically, the model…
The properties of stable Luttinger liquid phases in models with a non-conserved number of particles are investigated. We study the Luttinger liquid phases in one-dimensional models of hard-core boson and spinless fermion chains where…
We investigate the $T=0$ phase diagram of a variant of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model where particles interact via a finite-range soft-shoulder potential. Using Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) simulations, we…
Many quantum mechanical problems (such as dissipative phase fluctuations in metallic and superconducting nanocircuits, or impurity scattering in Luttinger liquids) involve a continuum of bosonic modes with a marginal spectral density…
The Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition is described by the nonperturbative renormalization flow of the two dimensional $\phi^4$-model. The observation of essential scaling demonstrates that the flow equation incorporates nonperturbative…
The temperature-dependent uniform magnetic susceptibility of interacting electrons in one dimension is calculated using several methods. At low temperature, the renormalization group reaveals that the Luttinger liquid spin susceptibility…
Many topological phases host gapless boundary modes that can be dramatically modified by electronic interactions. Even for the long-studied edge modes of quantum Hall phases, forming at the boundaries of two-dimensional (2D) electron…
I analyze non-local symmetries of finite-size Euclidean 3D lattice Chern-Simons models in the presence of an external magnetic field and non-zero average current. It is shown that under very general assumptions the particle-vortex duality…
We investigate the effect of a unidirectional quenched random field on the anisotropic quantum spin-1/2 $XY$ model, which magnetizes spontaneously in the absence of the random field. We adopt mean-field approach to show that spontaneous…
We present a hydrodynamic theory of polar active smectics, for systems both with and without number conservation. For the latter, we find quasi long-ranged smectic order in d=2 and long-ranged smectic order in d=3. In d=2 there is a…
We develop a Luttinger liquid theory of the Coulomb drag of persistent currents flowing in concentric mesoscopic rings, by incorporating non-linear corrections to the electron dispersion relation. We demonstrate that at low temperatures,…
