First-order phase transitions, classical or quantum, subject to randomness coupled to energy-like variables (bond randomness) can be rounded, resulting in continuous transitions (emergent criticality). We study perhaps the simplest such…
A coupled phase-oscillator model consists of phase-oscillators, each of which has the natural frequency obeying a probability distribution and couples with other oscillators through a given periodic coupling function. This type of model is…
The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition is an archetypal example of a topological phase transition, which is driven by the proliferation of vortices. In this Letter, we analyze the persistence of the BKT transition in the XY…
We consider the 2D $J_1-J_2$ classical XY model on a square lattice. In the frustrated phase corresponding to $J_2>J_1/2$, an Ising order parameter emerges by an ``order due to disorder'' effect. This leads to a discrete symmetry plus the…
We report on numerically exact determinantal quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the onset of spin-density wave (SDW) order in itinerant electron systems captured by a sign-problem-free two-dimensional lattice model. Extensive measurements…
We study a two-dimensional, nonreciprocal XY model, where each spin interacts only with its nearest neighbours in a certain angle around its current orientation, i.e., its `vision cone'. Using energetic arguments and Monte-Carlo simulations…
The phase diagram in coordinates "temperature - concentration of defects" of quasi-one-dimensional Ising models with defects of the "random local field" type is investigated. The confrontation of the tendency to the emergence of the…
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…
The $Z_2$ gauged neutral XY model is of long-standing interest both in the context of nematic order, and the study of fractionalization and superconductivity. This paper presents heuristic arguments that no deconfinement of the XY field…

The combined effect of disorder and symmetry-breaking fields on the two-dimensional XY model is examined. The study includes disorder in the interaction among spins in the form of random phase shifts as well as disorder in the local…
Feedback effects due to spin fluctuation induced precursors in the fermionic quasiparticle spectrum are taken into account in the description of a quantum critical point of itinerant spin systems. A correlation length dependent spin damping…
The crossover between short-range and long-range (LR) universal behaviors remains a central theme in the physics of long-range interacting systems. The competition between LR coupling and the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless mechanism makes…
We study the quasi-long-range ordered phase of a 2D XY model with quenched site-dilution using the spin-wave approximation and expansion in the parameter which characterizes the deviation from completely homogeneous dilution. The results,…
We investigate global phase coherence in a system of coupled oscillators on a small-world networks constructed from a ring with nearest-neighbor edges. The effects of both thermal noise and quenched randomness on phase ordering are examined…
We study a model for a quantum critical point in two spatial dimensions between a semimetallic phase, characterized by a stable quadratic Fermi node, and an ordered phase, in which the spectrum develops a band gap. The quantum critical…
We investigate the 2d XY model by using the constraint angle action, which belongs to the class of topological lattice actions. These actions violate important features usually demanded for a lattice action, such as the correct classical…
We revisit the effects of short-ranged random quenched disorder on the universal scaling properties of the classical $N$-vector model with cubic anisotropy. We set up the nonconserved relaxational dynamics of the model, and study the…
