We introduce a McMillan-Ginzburg-Landau theory to describe the cooperative coexistence of charge-density and superconducting order in two-dimensional crystals. With a free-energy that explicitly accounts for the competition between…
The magnetic properties of a system of coexisting localized spins and conduction electrons are investigated within an extended version of the one dimensional Kondo lattice model in which effects stemming from the electron-lattice and…
We present here a theoretical model in order to describe the competition between the Kondo effect and the spin glass behavior. The spin glass part of the starting Hamiltonian contains Ising spins with an intersite exchange interaction given…
We summarize the salient features of our theory of non-phononic vibrational excitations in glasses [W. Schirmacher et al., Nature Comm. 15, 3107 (2024)]. Next, we provide further evidence of the non-universality of the $\omega^4$ scaling of…
The continuous phase transition, indicated by the macroscopic order parameter and the occurrence of the spontaneous symmetry breaking, is well illustrated based on the Ginzburg-Landau's paradigm. In systems described by one order parameter,…
Despite the diversity of materials designated as active matter, virtually all active systems undergo a form of dynamic arrest when crowding and activity compete, reminiscent of the dynamic arrest observed in colloidal and molecular fluids…
Inspired by the observations of a remarkably stable biaxial nematic phase [E.v.d. Pol et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 258301 (2009)], we investigate the effect of size polydispersity on the phase behavior of a suspension of boardlike…
We discuss an experimentally amenable class of two-particle states of motion giving rise to nonlocal spatial interference under position measurements. Using the concept of modular variables, we derive a separability criterion which is…
We present a general theory of liquid crystals under inhomogeneous electric field in a Ginzburg-Landau scheme. The molecular orientation can be deformed by electric field when the dielectric tensor is orientation-dependent. We then…
The consequences of disorder on interacting bosons trapped in optical lattices are investigated by quantum Monte Carlo simulations. At small to moderate strengths of potential disorder a unique effect is observed: if there is a Mott plateau…
Bell non-local correlations cannot be naturally explained in a fixed causal structure. This serves as a motivation for considering models where no global assumption is made beyond logical consistency. The assumption of a fixed causal order…
A conservation law is one of the most fundamental properties in nature, but a certain class of conservation "laws"' could be spoiled by intrinsic quantum mechanical effects, so-called quantum anomalies. Profound properties of the anomalies…
Interacting two-component Fermi gases loaded in a one-dimensional (1D) lattice and subjected to an harmonic trapping potential exhibit interesting compound phases in which fluid regions coexist with local Mott-insulator and/or…
Ordering at arbitrarily high temperature - entropic order - has been argued to take place in a class of generalized Ising models parameterised by a real interaction parameter $p$ when $p\ge 1$. We give a rigorous proof of this conjecture.…
We study a set of models of self-propelled particles that achieve collective motion through similar alignment-based dynamics, considering versions with and without repulsive interactions that do not affect the heading directions. We explore…
We describe a method to determine whether a material has isomorphs in its thermodynamic phase diagram. Isomorphs are state points for which various properties are invariant in reduced units. Such materials are commonly identified from…
In this work we study zero-temperature phases of the anisotropic Hubbard model on a three-dimensional cubic lattice in a weak coupling regime. It is known that, at half-filling, the ground state of this model is antiferromagnetic…
The confluence of quantum mechanics and complexity, which leads to the emergence of rich, exotic states of matter, motivates the extension of our concepts of quantum ordering. The twin concepts of spontaneously broken symmetry, described in…
We derive lower bounds for the variance of the difference of energies between incongruent ground states, i.e., states with edge overlaps strictly less than one, of the Edwards-Anderson model on ${\mathbb Z}^d$. The bounds highlight a…
The phase coexistence of chemically ordered L1_0 and chemically disordered structures within binary alloys is investigated, using the NiMn system as an example. Theoretical and numerical predictions of the signatures one might expect in…
