We calculate the particle spectrum of the SSM which follows from the assumption that the commonly assumed universal form of the soft supersymmetry --breaking terms is invariant under renormalisation. It is argued that this ``strong''…
The universal amplitude ratio $\tilde{R}_{\xi}$ for percolation in two dimensions is determined exactly using results for the dilute A model in regime 1, by way of a relationship with the q-state Potts model for q<4.
Using results from conformal field theory, we compute several universal amplitude ratios for the two-dimensional Ising model at criticality on a symmetric torus. These include the correlation-length ratio x^\star = \lim_{L\to\infty}…
Universal scaling laws only apply asymptotically near critical phase transitions. We propose a general scheme, based on normal form theory of renormalization group flows, for incorporating corrections to scaling that quantitatively describe…
We introduce a new way of reconstructing the equation of state of a thermodynamic system near a second order critical point from a finite set of Taylor coefficients computed away from the critical point. We focus on the Ising universality…

Universality of eigenvalue spacings is one of the basic characteristics of random matrices. We give the precise meaning of universality and discuss the standard universality classes (sine, Airy, Bessel) and their appearance in unitary,…
Information theoretic geometry near critical points in classical and quantum systems is well understood for exactly solvable systems. Here we show that renormalization group flow equations can be used to construct the information metric and…
By using Renormalization Group methods we analyze the description of the Quantum Hall Fluid in terms of a dual plasma with dyons as effective degrees of freedom. The physical interpretation of the parameters of the model as the longitudinal…
We present a Monte Carlo study of various universal amplitude ratios of the two dimensional q=4 Potts model. We simulated the model close to criticality in both phases taking care to keep the systematic errors, due to finite size effects…

A renormalization group treatment of metamagnetic quantum criticality in metals is presented. In clean systems the universality class is found to be of the overdamped, conserving (dynamical exponent z=3) Ising type. Detailed results are…
The pseudogap Kondo problem, describing a magnetic impurity embedded in an electronic environment with a power-law density of states, displays continuous quantum phase transitions between free and screened moment phases. In this paper we…
The self--similar renormalization group is used to obtain expressions for the spectrum of the Hamiltonian with the Yukawa potential. The critical screening parameter above which there are no bound states is also obtained by this method. The…
The present status of the renormalization-group (RG) predictions on the superfluid density $\rho_s$ and the specific heat $C^+$ and $C^-$ near the $\lambda$-line of $^4He$ is briefly reviewed. Particular attention is given to universal…
We formulate a method of performing non-perturbative calculations in quantum field theory, based upon a derivative expansion of the exact renormalization group. We then proceed to apply this method to the calculation of critical exponents…
The critical point of a topological phase transition is described by a conformal field theory, where finite-size corrections to energy are uniquely related to its central charge. We investigate the finite-size scaling away from criticality…

We calculate universal finite-size scaling functions for systems with an n-component order parameter and algebraically decaying interactions. Just as previously has been found for short-range interactions, this leads to a singular…
