The thermodynamic limit of the Lipkin model is investigated. While the limit turns out to be rather elusive, the analysis gives strong indications that the limit yields two analytically dissociated operators, one for the normal and one for…
This text considers the discrete height functions associated with the Berezinskii--Kosterlitz--Thouless transition (BKT) at slope zero. Our main results are as follows. * Sharpness: If the model is localised, then the two-point function…

The two-dimensional ($2d$) fully frustrated Planar Rotator model on a square lattice has been the subject of a long controversy due to the simultaneous $Z_2$ and $O(2)$ symmetry existing in the model. The $O(2)$ symmetry being responsible…
Effective theories for random critical points are usually non-unitary, and thus may contain relevant operators with negative scaling dimensions. To study the consequences of the existence of negative dimensional operators, we consider the…

In a two-dimensional (2D) spin system, the XY model, characterized by planar rotational symmetry, exhibits a unique phenomenon known as the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition. In contrast, the clock model, which introduces…
We introduce a fully frustrated XY model with nearest neighbor (nn) and next nearest neighbor (nnn) couplings which can be realized in Josephson junction arrays. We study the phase diagram for $0\leq x \leq 1$ ($x$ is the ratio between nnn…
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…
