Magnetic frustration can lead to peculiar magnetic orderings that break a discrete symmetry of the lattice in addition to the fundamental magnetic symmetries (i.e., spin rotation invariance and time-reversal symmetry). In this work, we…
The $N$-state chiral Potts model in lattice statistical mechanics can be obtained as a ``descendant'' of the six-vertex model, via an intermediate ``$Q$'' or ``$\tau_2 (t_q)$'' model. Here we generalize this to obtain a column-inhomogeneous…

We develop an ansatz for expressing the free energy of the two dimensional $q$-states Potts model for $q > 4$ near its first order phase transition point. We notice that for the moderate values of $ q \lesssim 15 $, the energy profile at…

Here we consider a one-dimensional $q$-state Potts model with an external magnetic field and an anisotropic interaction that selects neighboring sites that are in the spin state 1. The present model exhibits an unusual behavior in the…
The critical behaviour of the one-dimensional q-state Potts model with long-range interactions decaying with distance r as $r^{-(1+\sigma)}$ has been studied in the wide range of parameters $0 < \sigma \le 1$ and $\frac{1}{16} \le q \le…
The magnetic susceptibility of the quarter-filled one-dimensional extended Hubbard model is calculated using the density-matrix renormalization group technique. It is found that in the charge gap regime of the model ($U> 4t $ and $V > 2t$),…

We study complex CFTs describing fixed points of the two-dimensional $Q$-state Potts model with $Q>4$. Their existence is closely related to the weak first-order phase transition and walking RG behavior present in the real Potts model at…
We consider the ground-state properties of the s=1/2 Ising chain in a transverse field which varies regularly along the chain having a period of alternation 2. Such a model, similarly to its uniform counterpart, exhibits quantum phase…

We study the famous example of weakly first order phase transitions in the 1+1D quantum Q-state Potts model at Q>4. We numerically show that these weakly first order transitions have approximately conformal invariance. Specifically, we find…
We consider two disordered lattice models on the square lattice: on the medial lattice the random field Ising model at T=0 and on the direct lattice the random bond Potts model in the large-q limit at its transition point. The interface…
