We perform the state-of-the-art tensor network simulations directly in the thermodynamic limit to clarify the critical properties of the $q$-state clock model on the square lattice. We determine accurately the two phase transition…
Proliferation of defects is a mechanism that allows for topological phase transitions. Such a phase transition is found in two dimensions for the XY-model, which lies in the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) universality class. The…
It is argued that two-dimensional U(N) spin models for any N undergo a BKT-like phase transition, similarly to the famous XY model. This conclusion follows from the Berezinskii-like calculation of the two-point correlation function in U(N)…
The conformal anomaly is key to describing the physics of interacting field theories in two dimensions, and has been shown to obtain finite-size corrections that are useful to numerical and experimental studies. At…
We show that four-dimensional systems may exhibit a topological phase transition analogous to the well-known Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless vortex unbinding transition in two-dimensional systems. The realisation of an engineered quantum…
We analyse the renormalizability of the sine-Gordon model by the example of the two-point Green function up to second order in alpha_r(M), the dimensional coupling constant defined at the normalization scale M, and to all orders in beta^2,…
At large distances and in the low temperature phase, the quenched correlation functions in the 2d random phase sine-Gordon model have been argued to be of the form~: $ \bar {\vev{~[\varphi(x)-\varphi(0)]^2~}}_* = A (\log|x|) + B \ep^2…
