We discuss a {\em family} of planar (two-dimensional) systems with the following phase strucure: a Fermi liquid, which goes by a second order transition (with non classical exponent even in mean-field) to an intermediate, inhomogeneous…
Within the framework of the $s$-$d(f)$ exchange model in the mean-field approximation for square, simple cubic, body-centered and face-centered cubic lattices, the formation of a ferromagnetic, spiral, and commensurate antiferromagnetic…
The unconstrained ensemble describes completely open systems in which energy, volume and number of particles fluctuate. Here we show that not only equilibrium states can exist in this ensemble, but also that completely open systems can…
The ordinary Landau problem consists of describing a charged particle in time-independent magnetic field. In the present case the problem is generalized onto time-dependent uniform electric fields with time-dependent mass and harmonic…
Nematic liquid crystals exhibit configurations in which the underlying ordering changes markedly on macroscopic length scales. Such structures include topological defects in the nematic phase and tactoids within nematic-isotropic…
The equilibrium properties of a minimal tiling model are investigated. The model has extensive ground state entropy, with each ground state having a quasiperiodic sequence of rows. It is found that the transition from the quasiperiodic…

An incommensurate phase refers to a solid state in which the period of a superstructure is incommensurable with the primitive unit cell. Recently the incommensurate phase is induced by applying an in-plane strain to hexagonal manganites,…
The paper shows that inhomogeneity of translation properties of condensate leads to the interaction of local order parameter (OP) and its compensating field which is similar to gauge fields in the field theory. Dynamic models were…

An exact solution of a Landau model of an order-disorder transition with activated critical dynamics is presented. The model describes a funnel-shaped topography of the order parameter space in which the number of energy lowering…

For the frustrated two-dimensional $S=1/2$ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model close to quantum phase transition we consider the singlet ground states retaining both translational and SU(2) symmetry. Besides usually discussed checkerboard,…

It is well known that systems with long-range interactions may exhibit different phase diagrams when studied within two different ensembles. In many of the previously studied examples of ensemble inequivalence, the phase diagrams differ…
The structures of order parameters which determine the bounds of the phase states in the framework of the $CP^{1}$ Ginzburg-Landau model were considered. Using the formulation of this model in terms of the gauged order parameters (the unit…
