We consider a two-layer Heisenberg antiferromagnet which can be either in the N\'{e}el-ordered or in the disordered phase at $T=0$, depending on the ratio of the intra- and interlayer exchange constants. We reduce the problem to an…
We present a formalism for strongly correlated electrons systems which consists in a local approximation of the dynamical three-leg interaction vertex. This vertex is self-consistently computed with a quantum impurity model with dynamical…
We study a $q$-state Potts model on the square grid when $q>4$ at the point $T_c(q)$ of its (discontinous) transition. This model exhibits exactly $q+1$ extremal Gibbs measures: $q$ ordered (monochromatic) and one disordered (free). The…
Many types of spatiotemporal patterns have been observed under nonequilibrium conditions. Cycling through four or more states can provide specific dynamics, such as the spatial coexistence of multiple phases. However, transient dynamics…
Compass models provide insights into the properties of Mott-insulating materials that host bond-dependent anisotropic interactions between their pseudospin degrees of freedom. In this article, we explore the classical and quantum ground…
The two-dimensional Potts model can be studied either in terms of the original Q-component spins, or in the geometrical reformulation via Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) clusters. While the FK representation makes sense for arbitrary real values of…
There has been recent controversy about the magnitude of spin-flipping in the heavy metal Pt, characterized by the spin-diffusion length, lsf(Pt) We propose a resolution of this controversy, and also present evidence for the importance of a…
We consider fractal curves in two-dimensional $Z_N$ spin lattice models. These are N states spin models that undergo a continuous ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition described by the ZN parafermionic field theory. The main…
A hierarchical froth model of the interface of a random $q$-state Potts ferromagnet in $2D$ is studied by recursive methods. A fraction $p$ of the nearest neighbour bonds is made inaccessible to domain walls by infinitely strong…
Systems of two coupled bosonic species are studied using Mean Field Theory and Quantum Monte Carlo. The phase diagram is characterized both based on the mobility of the particles (Mott insulating or superfluid) and whether or not the system…
The physics of fluid interfaces between domains of different magnetization in the ordered phase of the 3D three-state Potts model is studied by means of a Monte Carlo simulation. It is shown that finite--size effects in the interface free…
We study the ground state of a system with an interface between $\nu=4$ and $\nu=3$ in the quantum Hall regime. Far from the interface, for a range of interaction strengths, the $\nu=3$ region is fully polarized but $\nu=4$ region is…
We study by Monte Carlo simulations and scaling analysis two models of pairs of confined and dense ring polymers in two dimensions. The pair of ring polymers are modelled by squared lattice polygons confined within a square cavity and they…
We construct a family of short-range resonating-valence-bond wave functions on a layered cubic lattice, allowing for a tunable anisotropy in the amplitudes assigned to nearest-neighbour valence bonds along one axis. Monte Carlo simulations…
