Monte Carlo algorithms, like the Swendsen-Wang and invaded-cluster, sample the Ising and Potts models asymptotically faster than single-spin Glauber dynamics do. Here, we generalize both algorithms to sample Potts lattice gauge theory by…

In active matter, such as the Vicsek Model of flocking, particles possesses an internal degree of freedom, such as their director, which is subject to interaction with other particles, provided they are within a certain range. In an effort…

Through Monte Carlo simulations we study two-dimensional Potts models with $q=4, 6$ and 8 states on Voronoi-Delaunay random lattice. In this study, we assume that the coupling factor $J$ varies with the distance $r$ between the first…

A new model that describes adsorption and clustering of particles on a surface is introduced. A {\it clustering} transition is found which separates between a phase of weakly correlated particle distributions and a phase of strongly…

Using the group structure of the state space of $q-$state models, a new definition of contour for long-range spin-systems in $\Z^d$ ($d\geq 2$), and a multidimensional version of Fr\"{o}hlich-Spencer contours, we prove phase transition for…

We investigate the effects of quenched disorder on first-order quantum phase transitions on the example of the $N$-color quantum Ashkin-Teller model. By means of a strong-disorder renormalization group, we demonstrate that quenched disorder…

We introduce and analyze an exactly soluble one-dimensional Ising model with long range interactions which exhibits a mixed order transition (MOT), namely a phase transition in which the order parameter is discontinuous as in first order…
