A tricritical point as a crossover between (stationary finite-wavelength) type-I$_s$ and (stationary longwave) type-II$_s$ bifurcations is identified in the study of diffusive-thermal (Turing) instability of flames propagating in a…
Deconfined quantum critical points are characterized by the presence of an emergent gauge field and exotic fractionalized particles, which exist as well-defined excitations only at the critical point. We here demonstrate the existence of…
Magnetic and superconducting instabilities in the two-dimensional t-t'-Hubbard model are discussed within a functional renormalization group approach. The fermionic four-point vertex is efficiently parametrized by means of partial…
We introduce a generalised six-state clock chain that interpolates between the clock and Potts models via a multicritical point described by decoupled Ising and three-state Potts models. We find that this decoupling extends into stable…
We determine the zero-temperature phase diagram of the hard-core Bose-Hubbard model on a square lattice by mean-field theory supplemented by a linear spin-wave analysis. Due to the interplay between nearest and next-nearest neighbor…
One-dimensional edges of classical systems in two dimension sometimes show surprisingly rich phase transitions and critical phenomena, particularly when the bulk is at criticality. As such a model, we study the surface critical behavior of…
We study critical and stationary, i.e. critical with respect to both inner and outer variations, points of polyconvex functionals of the form $f(X) = g(\det(X))$, for $X \in \mathbb{R}^{2\times 2}$. In particular, we show that critical…
The classification of the ground-state phases of complex one-dimensional electronic systems is considered in the context of a fixed-point strategy. Examples are multichain Hubbard models, the Kondo-Heisenberg model, and the one-dimensional…
The main purpose of this paper is to find the fixed point in such cases where existing literature remain silent. In this paper we introduce partial completeness, a new type of contraction and many other definitions. Using this approach the…
Fulde-Ferrell (FF) Larkin-Ovchinnikov (LO) phases were proposed for superconductors or superfluids in strong magnetic field. With the experimental progresses in ultracold atomic systems, topological FFLO phases has also been put forward,…
Motivated by recent experimental progress in the critical regime of high-$T_c$ superconductors we show how the tricritical point in a superconductor can be derived from the Ginzburg-Landau theory as a consequence of vortex fluctuations. Our…
This paper is a continuation of \cite{Lu1}. In Part I, applying the new splitting theorems developed therein we generalize previous some results on computations of critical groups and some critical point theorems to weaker versions. In Part…
Using Monte Carlo simulation, Van Duijneveldt and Lekkerkerker [Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 4264 (1993)] found gas-liquid-solid behaviour in a simple two-dimensional lattice model with two types of hard particles. The same model is studied here by…
Let {f_t} be any algebraic family of rational maps of a fixed degree, with a marked critical point c(t). We first prove that the hypersurfaces of parameters for which c(t) is periodic converge as a sequence of positive closed (1,1) currents…
This paper is concerned with the stability of standing waves for the mass-critical Hartree equation with a focusing perturbation by the variational method. The profile decomposition theory is employed to prove the attainability of the cross…
We study the nature of the two-dimensional quantum critical point separating two phases with and without long-range spin-density-wave order, which has been recently observed in cuprate superconductors. We consider the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson…
Deconfined quantum criticality with emergent SO(5) symmetry in correlated systems remains elusive. Here, by performing numerically-exact state-of-the-art quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations, we show convincing evidences of deconfined…
Using improved mean field and strong coupling expansions we re-analyse the bulk phase diagram of the fundamental-adjoint action of the SU(2) Lattice Gauge Theory. We find that the qualitative features of the bulk phase diagram are robust…
In this paper we consider semilinear equations $-\Delta u=f(u)$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions on certain convex domains of the two dimensional model spaces of constant curvature. We prove that a positive, semi-stable solution $u$ has…
Fixed point theorems are ubiquitous in economic research. Many studies cite Smithson (1971) ``Fixed points of order preserving multifunctions,'' yet the original proof contains errors. This note presents a new, concise proof and explains…
