We review recent results, obtained with P. Fendley, on frustration of quantum charges in lattice models for itinerant fermions with strong repulsive interactions. A judicious tuning of kinetic and interaction terms leads to models…
We study the phase diagram for staggered quarks using chiral perturbation theory. In beyond-the-standard-model simulations using a large number ($>8$) of staggered fermions, unphysical phases appear for coarse enough lattice spacing. We…
We introduce a frustrated spin 1/2 Hamiltonian which is an extension of the two dimensional $J_1 - J_2$ Heisenberg model. The ground states of this model are exactly obtained at a first order quantum phase transition between two regions…
We propose a novel two-dimensional (2D)frustrated quantum spin-1/2 anisotropic Heisenberg model with alternating ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic magnetic chains along one direction and antiferromagnetic interactions along the other. The…

We investigate quantum phase transitions of the two-dimensional S=1 Shastry-Sutherland model, which is characterized by the frustrated orthogonal-dimer structure, by means of the exact diagonalization method and the Ising-type series…
We consider a Potts model diluted by fully frustrated Ising spins. The model corresponds to a fully frustrated Potts model with variables having an integer absolute value and a sign. This model presents precursor phenomena of a glass…
We find the complete phase diagram of a generalised XY model that includes half-vortices. The model possesses superfluid, pair-superfluid and disordered phases, separated by Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transitions for both the half-vortices…
We study the phase diagram and the excitation spectra of an array of small Josephson junctions at $f=1/2$ and arbitrary charge frustration. We find that the supersolid region in the phase diagram is larger than the correspondent region at…

We investigated the relaxation and excitation in a frustrated XY model realized by a Bose gas in Floquet-engineered optical triangular lattices. Periodically driving the position of the entire lattice structure enables the sign inversion of…
In this review, I outline some principal theoretical knowledge on the properties of frustrated systems and thin films. The two points I would like to emphasize: i) the physics in low dimensions where exact solutions can be obtained, ii) the…
In a comment by A.A. Zvyagin the phase diagram in our Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 516 (2001)] was critisized of being incomplete and a new fixed point was suggested. We show that this point is in fact not a fixed point and that the phase…
We study the ground state phase diagram of a frustrated spin-1/2 four-leg tube. Using a variety of complementary techniques, namely density matrix renormalization group, exact diagonalization, Schwinger boson mean field theory, quantum…

We study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the fully-frustrated XY model. At equilibrium, this model undergoes two phase transitions at two very close temperatures: a Kosterlitz-Thouless topological transition and a second-order phase…
We identify two "universality" classes in the Coulomb frustrated phase separation phenomenon. They correspond to two different kind of electronic compressibility anomalies often encountered in strongly correlated electronic systems. We…
