We propose a spin model with quenched disorder which exhibits in slow driving two drastically different types of critical nonequilibrium steady states. One of them corresponds to classical criticality requiring fine-tuning of the disorder.…
The order parameter for a continuous transition shows diverging fluctuation near the critical point. Here we show, through numerical simulations and scaling arguments, that the inequality (or variability) between the values of an order…

For suitable parameters, the classical Duffing oscillator has a known bistability in its stationary states, with low- and high-amplitude branches. As expected from the analogy with a particle in a double-well potential, transitions between…

Lattice-gas models for CO oxidation can exhibit a discontinuous nonequilibrium transition between reactive and inactive states, which disappears above a critical CO-desorption rate. Using finite-size-scaling analysis, we demonstrate a…
We investigate the static and dynamic critical behaviour of a uniformly driven bilayer Ising lattice gas at half filling. Depending on the strength of the interlayer coupling J, phase separation occurs across or within the two layers. The…
We consider the critical behavior of two-dimensional layered Ising models where the exchange couplings between neighboring layers follow hierarchical sequences. The perturbation caused by the non-periodicity could be irrelevant, relevant or…
One of the most impressive features of continuous phase transitions is the concept of universality, that allows to group the great variety of different critical phenomena into a small number of universality classes. All systems belonging to…
We investigate nonequilibrium relaxations of Ising models at the critical point by using a cluster update. While preceding studies imply that nonequilibrium cluster-flip dynamics at the critical point are universally described by the…
We consider the critical behavior at an interface which separates two semi-infinite subsystems belonging to different universality classes, thus having different set of critical exponents, but having a common transition temperature. We…
The one-dimensional XXZ model (s=1/2) in a transverse field, with uniform long-range interactions among the transverse components of the spins, is studied. The model is exactly solved by introducing the Jordan-Wigner transformation and the…
We study the second-order phase transition in the $d$-dimensional Ising model with long-range interactions decreasing as a power of the distance $1/r^{d+s}$. For $s$ below some known value $s_*$, the transition is described by a conformal…
We investigate the surface critical behavior of two-dimensional multilayered aperiodic Ising models in the extreme anisotropic limit. The system under consideration is obtained by piling up two types of layers with respectively $p$ and $q$…
Certain frustrated systems, including spin ice and dimer models, exhibit a Coulomb phase at low temperatures, with power-law correlations and fractionalized monopole excitations. Transitions out of this phase, at which the effective gauge…
It is demonstrated that the renormalization group (RG) flows of depinning transitions do not depend on whether the driving force or the system velocity is kept constant. This allows for a comparison between RG results and corresponding…
With large-scale Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the nonsteady relaxation at the dynamic depinning transition in the two-dimensional Gaussian random-field Ising model. The dynamic scaling behavior is carefully analyzed, and the…
We revisit the two-dimensional quantum Ising model by computing renormalization group flows close to its quantum critical point. The low but finite temperature regime in the vicinity of the quantum critical point is squashed between two…
Second-order phase transitions are characterised by critical scaling and universality. The singular behaviour of thermodynamic quantities at the transition, in particular, is determined by critical exponents of the universality class of the…
