The fixed-point analysis refers to the study of fixed-points that arise in the context of complex systems with many interacting entities. In this expository paper, we describe four levels of fixed-points in mean-field interacting particle…
We explore the dynamical behavior at and near a special class of two-dimensional quantum critical points. Each is a conformal quantum critical point (CQCP), where in the scaling limit the equal-time correlators are those of a…
Recently, in high-T_c superconductors (HTSC), exciting measurements have been performed revealing their physics in superconducting and pseudogap states and in normal one induced by the application of magnetic field, when the transition from…
We propose a mean-field, phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional with two competing order parameters for a two-component, spin-polarized Fermi gas. This free energy supports a tricritical point which is different from the…
In the massive chiral Gross-Neveu model, a phase boundary separates a homogeneous from an inhomogeneous phase. It consists of two parts, a second order line and a first order line, joined at a tricritical point. Whereas the first order…
We critically discuss the results reported in arXiv:2311.17994v1 by L. Oppenheim, M. Koch-Janusz, S. Gazit, and Z. Ringel, on the multicritical behavior of the three-dimensional Ising-Gauge model at the multicritical point. We argue that…
Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories (LCFT) play a key role, for instance, in the description of critical geometrical problems (percolation, self avoiding walks, etc.), or of critical points in several classes of disordered systems…
Systems with long-range interactions display a short-time relaxation towards Quasi Stationary States (QSSs) whose lifetime increases with system size. With reference to the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model, we here show that a maximum…
We study models with three coupled vector fields characterized by $O(N_1)\oplus O(N_2) \oplus O(N_3)$ symmetry. Using the nonperturbative functional renormalization group, we derive $\beta$ functions for the couplings and anomalous…
The Ising square lattice model with nearest-neighbor (nn) interactions ($J_1$) is one of the few exactly solvable models [1]. Adding next-neareast- neighbor (nnn) interactions ($J_2$) or a magnetic field (or both) leads to the non…
We introduce a new technique for proving the classical Stable Manifold theorem for hyperbolic fixed points. This method is much more geometrical than the standard approaches which rely on abstract fixed point theorems. It is based on the…

Stationary bifurcations in several nonlinear models of fluid conveying pipes fixed at both ends are analyzed with the use of Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and singularity theory. Influence of gravitational force, curvature and vertical elastic…

We obtain the phase diagram for the Blume-Capel model with bimodal distribution for random crystal fields, in the space of three fields: temperature, crystal field and magnetic field. We find that three critical lines meet at a tricritical…

Deconfined quantum critical points are intriguing transition points not predicted by the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson symmetry-breaking paradigm which are usually identified by the appearance of a continuous phase transition between locally…
