The relation between the critical compressibility factors $Z_{c}$ of the Lennard-Jones fluid and the Lattice Gas (Ising model) is derived within the global isomorphism approach. On this basis we obtain the alternative form for the value of…
A new approach has been used to explain the experimental data for the $^{12}$C+$^{12}$C system over a wide energy range in the laboratory system from 32.0 MeV to 126.7 MeV. This new coupled-channels based approach involves replacing the…
Using event driven molecular dynamics simulations, we study a three dimensional one-component system of spherical particles interacting via a discontinuous potential combining a repulsive square soft core and an attractive square well. In…
We investigate the critical properties of the Lee-Yang model in less than six spacetime dimensions using truncations of the functional renormalization group flow. We give estimates for the critical exponents, study the dependence on the…
Much attention has been devoted to water's metastable phase behavior, including polyamorphism (multiple amorphous solid phases), and the hypothesized liquid-liquid transition and associated critical point. However, the possible relationship…
Inspired by previous extensive numerical studies of a cell fluid model with Curie-Weiss interactions, we concentrate on some analytically tractable special cases in its description. The key ingredient of the model is a competition between…
It was recently shown that vapor-liquid coexistence densities derived from Mie and Yukawa models collapse to define a single master curve when represented against the difference between the reduced second virial coefficient at the…

Results for the kinetics of vapor-liquid transitions, following temperature quenches with different densities, are presented from the molecular dynamics simulations of a Lennard-Jones system. For critical density, bicontinuous liquid and…
We report the first observation of the smectic C--smectic I (C--I) critical point by Xray diffraction studies on a binary system. This is in confirmity with the theoretical idea of Nelson and Halperin that coupling to the molecular tilt…
Critical properties of the compact three-dimensional U(1) lattice gauge theory are explored at finite temperatures. The critical point of the deconfinement phase transition, critical indices and the string tension are studied numerically on…
We investigate the chiral phase transition of a QCD-like theory, based the shape change of the effective potential near the critical point. The potential is constructed with the auxiliary field method, and a source term coupled to the field…
For compact U(1) lattice gauge theory (LGT) we have performed a finite size scaling analysis on $N_{\tau} N_s^3$ lattices for $N_{\tau}$ fixed and $N_s\to\infty$, approaching the phase transition from the confined phase. For $N_{\tau}=4$, 5…
Most of the analytical studies on spin glasses are performed by using mean-field theory and renormalization group analysis. Analytical studies on finite-dimensional spin glasses are very challenging. In this short note, a possible exten-…
In this paper, an argon-like canonical system is studied. We introduce five hypothesis to deal with the total potential of the system. Then the balanced liquid-gas coexistence phenomenon is analyzed. Good equations of state and phase…
We use the linear sigma model coupled to quarks to compute the effective potential beyond the mean field approximation, including the contribution of the ring diagrams at finite temperature and baryon density. We determine the model…
The present manuscript gives a theoretical description of the first-order phase transition in a cell fluid model with a modified Morse potential and additional repulsive interaction. In the framework of the grand canonical ensemble, the…
We investigate prototypical profiles of point defects in two dimensional liquid crystals within the framework of Landau-de Gennes theory. Using boundary conditions characteristic of defects of index $k/2$, we find a critical point of the…

We show that the recent renormalization-group analysis of Lifshitz critical behavior presented by Leite [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 67}, 104415 (2003)] suffers from a number of severe deficiencies. In particular, we show that his approach does not…
