In first-order phase transitions in the early universe, the bubble wall is expected to be significantly slowed-down by its interaction with the surrounding plasma. We examine the behaviour of the phase of the Higgs field after two-bubble…

We study first-order electroweak phase transitions in the real-singlet extended Standard Model, for which non-zero mixing between the Higgs and the singlet can efficiently strengthen the transitions. We perform large-scale parameter space…

We discuss various aspects of the randomly interacting directed polymers with emphasis on the phases and phase transition. We also discuss the behaviour of overlaps of directed paths in a random medium.

In this talk I discuss three main topics concerning the theoretical description and observable signatures of possible phase transitions in nuclear collisions. The first one is related to the multifragmentation of thermalized sources and its…

We present a numerical technique employing the density of partition function zeroes (i) to distinguish between phase transitions of first and higher order, (ii) to examine the crossover between such phase transitions and (iii) to measure…

The authors of the Letter PRL 89, 017004 (2002) predict nontrivial flux lattice structures in UPt3 in vicinity of the superconducting transition between the A and B phases for low magnetic fields, an important conclusion for motivating…

I summarize the status of the ElectroWeak Interactions after the first phase of the Large Hadron Collider and I give an outlook on its possible developments.

We reply to the Comment by Hartmann (cond-mat/9908132) on our paper Phys. Rev. Lett. 84 (2000) 2026 (also cond-mat/9907125).

The primary intent is to show that the signal of first order phase transition may be observed at experiment if and only if the multiplicity is sufficiently large. We discuss corresponding phenomenology from the point of view of experiment.

Lecture notes from the Jerusalem Winter School on Theoretical Physics "Correlated Electron Systems", Dec. 1991 -- Jan. 1992. Contains a review of recent and not so recent results in the theory of correlated fermions in one dimension.

First order phase transitions are described in terms of the microcanonical and canonical ensemble, with special attention to finite size effects. Difficulties in interpreting a "caloric curve" are discussed. A robust parameter indicating…

We investigate the process of phase conversion in a thermally-driven {\it weakly} first-order quark-hadron transition. This scenario is physically appealing even if the nature of this transition in equilibrium proves to be a smooth…

The phase diagram of a system constituted of neutrons and $\Lambda$-hyperons in thermal equilibrium is evaluated in the mean-field approximation. It is shown that this simple system exhibits a complex phase diagram with first and second…

Onset and loss of synchronization in coupled oscillators are of fundamental importance in understanding emergent behavior in natural and man-made systems, which range from neural networks to power grids. We report on experiments with…

Presented at the 1992 Meeting of the DPF, Fermilab. The electroweak phase transition is reviewed in light of some recent developments. Emphasis is on the issue whether the transition is first or second order and its possible role in the…

Weak measurements performed between quantum state preparation and post-selection result in complex values for self-adjoint operators, corresponding to complex conditional probabilities for the projections on specific eigenstates. In this…

Quantum phase transitions have been the subject of intense investigations in the last two decades [1]. Among other problems, these phase transitions are relevant in the study of heavy fermion systems, high temperature superconductors and…

In this conference proceeding, I discuss in detail the deconfinement to quark matter that takes place at large densities and/or temperatures. The first-order phase transition that is assumed to appear beyond a critical point gives rise to…
