Quantum spin-1 chains may develop massless phases in presence of Ising-like and single-ion anisotropies. We have studied c=1 critical phases by means of both analytical techniques, including a mapping of the lattice Hamiltonian onto an O(2)…
An $L \times \infty$ system of odd number of coupled Heisenberg spin chains is studied using a degenerate perturbation theory, where $L$ is the number of coupled chains. An effective chain Hamiltonian is derived explicitly in terms of two…
Extensive DMRG calculations for spin S=1/2 and S=3/2 disordered antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains show a rather distinct behavior in the two cases. While at sufficiently strong disorder both systems are in a random singlet phase, we show…

The ground state of a spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with both frustration and long-range interactions is studied using Lanczos exact diagonalization. The evolution of the well known dimerization transition of the system with short-range…
Chiral antisymmetric tensor fields can have chiral couplings to quarks and leptons. Their kinetic terms do not mix different representations of the Lorentz symmetry and a local mass term is forbidden by symmetry. The chiral couplings to the…
We study the T = 0 magnetization of frustrated two-leg spin ladders with arbitrary value of the spin S. In the strong rung limit, we use degenerate perturbation theory to prove that frustration leads to magnetization plateaux at fractional…
Although the frustrated spin chain (zigzag chain) is a Drosophila of frustrated magnetism, the understanding of a pair of coupled zigzag chains (frustrated spin ladder) in a magnetic field is incomplete. We address this problem through…
We investigate the classical chiral Ashkin-Teller model on a square lattice with the corner transfer matrix renormalisation group (CTMRG) algorithm. We show that the melting of the period-4 phase in the presence of a chiral perturbation…
A number of 2d and 3d four-fermion models which are renormalizable ---in the $1/N$ expansion--- in a maximally symmetric constant curvature space, are investigated. To this purpose, a powerful method for the exact study of spinor heat…

We study the quantum phase transitions of frustrated antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin-1 systems on the 3/4 and 3/5 skewed two leg ladder geometries. These systems can be viewed as arising by periodically removing rung bonds from a zigzag…
We study a period-4 antiferromagnetic mixed quantum spin chain consisting of three kinds of spins. When the ground state is singlet, the spin magnitudes in a unit cell are arrayed as (s-t, s, s+t, s) with integer or half-odd integer s and t…
The magnetization process of the S=1/2 antiferromagnetic spin ladder at T=0 is studied by the exact diagonalization of finite clusters and size scaling analyses. It is found that a magnetization plateau appears at half the saturation value…
