In this paper we use a Ginzburg-Landau approach to show that a suitably strong electric field can drive a phase transition from a superconductor to a normal metal. The transition is induced by taking into account corrections to the…
The spin-1/2 zig-zag Heisenberg ladder (J_1 - J_2 model) is considered. A new representation for the model is found and a saddle point approximation over the spin-liquid order parameter < \vec \sigma_{n-1}(\vec \sigma_{n}\times \vec…
The Ginzburg-Landau model below its critical temperature in a temporally oscillating external field is studied both theoretically and numerically. As the frequency or the amplitude of the external force is changed, a nonequilibrium phase…
We investigate the dependence of the order parameter profile, local and total susceptibilities on both the temperature and external magnetic field within the mean-filed Ginzburg-Landau Ising type model. We study the case of a film geometry…

The anisotropic 5D SU(2) Yang-Mills model has been widely investigated on the lattice during the last decade. In the case where all dimensions are large in size, it was previously claimed that there is a new phase in the phase diagram,…
We present a numerical study of a continuum plasticity field coupled to a Ginzburg-Landau model for superfluidity. The results suggest that a supersolid fraction may appear as a long-lived transient during the time evolution of the…

A Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm is given for the case of a complex phase space weight, which applies generally in quantum statistical mechanics. Computer simulations using Lennard-Jones $^4$He near the $\lambda$-transition, including an…
Universal features of continuous phase transitions can be investigated by studying the $\phi^4$ field theory with the corresponding global symmetry breaking pattern. When gauge symmetries are present, the same technique is usually applied…
We establish the critical line of the one-component $\Phi^4$ (or Landau-Ginzburg) model on a simple four dimensional cubic lattice. Our study is performed in the framework of the non-perturbative renormalization group in the local potential…
We study on the lattice the 3d SU(2)+Higgs model, which is an effective theory of a large class of 4d high temperature gauge theories. Using the exact constant physics curve, continuum ($V\to\infty, a\to 0$) results for the properties of…
An effective Hamiltonian describing interaction between generic "fast" and a "slow" systems is obtained in the strong interaction limit. The result is applied for studying the effect of quantum phase transition as a bifurcation of the…
G\'erard and Grellier proposed, under the name of the cubic Szeg\H{o} equation, a remarkable classical field theory on a circle with a quartic Hamiltonian. The Lax integrability structure that emerges from their definition is so…

We report on an effective vector-field theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect that takes into account projection to Landau levels. The effective theory refers to neither the composite-boson nor composite-fermion picture, but properly…
The QCD phase transition at finite temperature is studied with the dual Ginzburg-Landau theory, which is the QCD effective theory based on the dual Higgs mechanism by QCD-monopole condensation. At high temperature, the confinement force is…
