The influence of the tail features of the local magnetic field probability density function (PDF) on the ferromagnetic Ising model is studied in the limit of infinite range interactions. Specifically, we assign a quenched random field whose…
Universality classes encompass the analogous thermodynamic behavior of unlike physical systems, at different spatial dimensions $d$, in the vicinity of their critical point. Critical exponents define these classes, with the Ising model…
We consider the Ising model on an annealed scale-free network with node-degree distribution characterized by a power-law decay $P(K)\sim K^{-\lambda}$. It is well established that the model is characterized by classical mean-field exponents…
We discuss a Curie-Weiss model with two groups in the critical regime. This is the region where the central limit theorem does not hold any more but the mean magnetization still goes to zero as the number of spins grows. We show that the…

A generic model of stochastic autocatalytic dynamics with many degrees of freedom $w_i$ $i=1,...,N$ is studied using computer simulations. The time evolution of the $w_i$'s combines a random multiplicative dynamics $w_i(t+1) = \lambda…
In fermionic systems with different types of quasi-particles, attractive interactions can give rise to exotic superconducting states, as pair density wave (PDW) superconductivity and breached pairing. In the last years the search for these…
In arXiv:1301.6911, Cerf and Gorny constructed a model of self-organized criticality, by introducing an automatic control of the temperature parameter in the generalized Ising Curie-Weiss model. The fluctuations of the magnetization of this…
A general self-consistency approach allows a thorough treatment of the corrections to the standard mean-field approximation (MFA). The natural extension of standard MFA with the help of a cumulant expansion leads to a new point of view on…
At high magnetic field, the semiclassical approximation which underlies the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory of the mixed state of type II superconductors breaks down. In a quasi-1D superconductor (weakly coupled chains system) with an {\it open…
We study the interplay between superconductivity and non-Fermi liquid behavior of a Fermi surface coupled to a massless $SU(N)$ matrix boson near the quantum critical point. The presence of thermal infrared singularities in both the…
Thermal conductivity of Sr3Ru2O7 was measured down to 40 mK and at magnetic fields through the quantum critical endpoint at H_c = 7.85 T. A peak in the electrical resistivity as a function of field was mimicked by the thermal resistivity.…
We study the effect that randomness has on long-range interacting systems by using the ferromagnetic Ising model with $p$-body interactions in random fields. The case with p=2 yields a phase diagram similar to that of previously studied…
We study a multi-group version of the mean-field or Curie-Weiss spin model. For this model, we show how, analogously to the classical (single-group) model, the three temperature regimes are defined. Then we use the method of moments to…
We introduce a new ferromagnetic model capable of reproducing one of the most intriguing properties of collective behaviour in starling flocks, namely the fact that strong collective order of the system coexists with scale-free correlations…
