First order quantum phase transitions (1QPTs) are signaled, in the thermodynamic limit, by discontinuous changes in the ground state properties. These discontinuities affect expectation values of observables, including spatial correlations.…
The numerical simulation of strongly first-order phase transitions has remained a notoriously difficult problem even for classical systems due to the exponentially suppressed (thermal) equilibration in the vicinity of such a transition. In…

We report Monte Carlo results for the two-dimensional hard disk system. Simulations were performed in the NVT ensemble with up to 65536 disks, using a new updating scheme. We analyze the bond orientational order parameter and correlation…
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…
We consider a class of spin systems on $\Z^d$ with vector valued spins $(\bS_x)$ that interact via the pair-potentials $J_{x,y} \bS_x\cdot\bS_y$. The interactions are generally spread-out in the sense that the $J_{x,y}$'s exhibit either…
We examine the stability of magnetic order in a classical Heisenberg model with quenched random exchange couplings. This system represents the spin degrees of freedom in high-$T_\textrm{c}$ compounds with immobile dopants. Starting from a…
