We revisit the classical problem of a polymer confined in a slit in both of its static and dynamic aspects. We confirm a number of well known scaling predictions and analyse their range of validity by means of comprehensive Molecular…
We provide an introductory account of a tricritical phase diagram, in the setting of a mean-field random walk model of a polymer density transition, and clarify the nature of the density transition in this context. We consider a…
A phase diagram for a surface interacting long flexible partially directed polymer chain in a two-dimensional poor solvent where the possibility of collapse in the bulk exists is determined using exact enumeration method. We used a model of…
Based on a recently established formalism (U. Ebert, J. Stat. Phys. 82, 183 (1996)) we analyze the diffusive motion of a long polymer in a quenched random medium. The medium is modeled by a frozen semidilute polymer system. In the framework…

The conformational behavior of a polymer in a critical binary solvent confined in a porous medium is studied. The size of the polymer in bulk, which is mainly governed by the correlation length of the solvent density fluctuations, depends…

We present an exactly solvable model of a Gaussian (flexible) polymer chain in a quenched random medium. This is the case when the random medium obeys very long range quadratic correlations. The model is solved in $d$ spatial dimensions…
The phase behavior of a single type of colloid C suspended in near-critical solvents is known to be very rich. Motivated in part by recent experiments we consider a mixture of two colloidal types C1 and C2 in a binary solvent close to its…
We study the reaction kinetics of end-functionalized polymer chains dispersed in an unreactive polymer melt. Starting from an infinite hierarchy of coupled equations for many-chain correlation functions, a closed equation is derived for the…
Generic higher character Lifshitz critical behaviors are described using field theory and $\epsilon_{L}$-expansion renormalization group methods. These critical behaviors describe systems with arbitrary competing interactions. We derive the…
A class of continuum models with a critical end point is considered whose Hamiltonian ${\mathcal{H}}[\phi,\psi]$ involves two densities: a primary order-parameter field, $\phi$, and a secondary (noncritical) one, $\psi$. Field-theoretic…
We explore the relation between active Brownian particles, a minimal particle-based model for active matter, and scalar field theories. Both show a liquid-gas-like phase transition towards stable coexistence of a dense liquid with a dilute…
Applying the (infinite) density-matrix renormalisation group technique, we explore the effect of an explicit dimerisation on the ground-state phase diagram of the spin-1 $XXZ$ chain with single-ion anisotropy $D$. We demonstrate that the…
By applying renormalization group method to the bosonized Hamiltonian of two-coupled chains with repulsive intrachain interaction, we have examined a role of backward scattering with a spin-anisotropy which competes with interchain hopping.…
