In the present paper we shall consider countable state $p$-adic Potts model on $Z_+$. A main aim is to establish the existence of the phase transition for the model. In our study, we essentially use one dimensionality of the model. To show…

Phase transitions in disordered systems can be smeared if rare spatial regions develop true static order while the bulk system is in the disordered phase. Here, we study the effects of spatial disorder correlations on such smeared phase…
We study, by the Mean Field and Monte Carlo methods, a generalized q-state Potts gonihedric model. The phase transition of the model becomes stronger with increasing $q.$ The value $k_c(q),$ at which the phase transition becomes second…
We consider the 2D $J_1-J_2$ classical XY model on a square lattice. In the frustrated phase corresponding to $J_2>J_1/2$, an Ising like order parameter emerges by an ``order due to disorder'' effect. This leads to a discrete $Z_2$ symmetry…
