We give estimates of the critical parameter for random loop models that are related to quantum spin systems. A special case of the model that we consider is the interchange- or random-stirring process. We consider here the model defined on…

We investigate the component sizes of the critical configuration model, as well as the related problem of critical percolation on a supercritical configuration model. We show that, at criticality, the finite third moment assumption on the…

The phase diagram of a system with two order parameters, with ${\it n_1}$ and $n_2$ components, respectively, contains two phases, in which these order parameters are non-zero. Experimentally and numerically, these phases are often…

Within the four-loop $\ve$ expansion, we study the critical behavior of certain antiferromagnets with complicated ordering. We show that an anisotropic stable fixed point governs the phase transitions with new critical exponents. This is…

We reexamine the large $N$ limit of SU$(N)$ symmetric quantum mechanics of a Hermitian matrix whose singlet sector is well known to be exactly solvable via free fermions. When the Fermi level approaches a maximum of the potential, there is…

We investigate the critical behaviour at theta=pi of the two-dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model with topological term on the lattice. Our method is based on numerical simulations at imaginary values of theta, and on scaling…

We study the phase diagram of spin-1 antiferromagnetic chain with isotropic antiferromagnetic interactions decaying with a power-law $\propto r^{-\alpha}$ ($\alpha\ge 1$) accompanied by modulated single-ion anisotropy. Employing the…

We describe two dimensional models with a metallic Fermi surface which display quantum phase transitions controlled by strongly interacting critical field theories below their upper critical dimension. The primary examples involve…

In clean and weakly disordered systems, topological and trivial phases having a finite bulk energy gap can transit to each other via a quantum critical point. In presence of strong disorder, both the nature of the phases and the associated…

The critical behavior of a dimer model with an interaction favoring parallel dimers in each plaquette of the square lattice is studied numerically by means of the Corner Transfer Matrix Renormalization Group algorithm. The critical…

One of the distinctive feature of the QCD phase diagram is the possible emergence of a critical endpoint. The critical region around the critical point and the path dependency of the critical exponents is investigated within effective…

We perform intensive numerical simulations of the three-dimensional site-diluted Ising antiferromagnet in a magnetic field at high values of the external applied field. Even if data for small lattice sizes are compatible with second-order…

We consider the contact process near an extended surface defect, where the local control parameter deviates from the bulk one by an amount of $\lambda(l)-\lambda(\infty) = A l^{-s}$, $l$ being the distance from the surface. We concentrate…

Topological phases protected by symmetry can occur in gapped and---surprisingly---in critical systems. We consider non-interacting fermions in one dimension with spinless time-reversal symmetry. It is known that the phases are classified by…

The low-energy properties of a system at a critical point may have additional symmetries not present in the microscopic Hamiltonian. This letter presents the theory of a class of multicritical points that provide an interesting example of…
