In a physical system, changing parameters such as temperature can induce a phase transition: an abrupt change from one state of matter to another. Analogous phenomena have recently been observed in large language models. Typically, the task…
We use a one-dimensional model system to compare the predictions of two different 'yardsticks' to compute the position of a particle from its quantum field theoretical state. Based on the first yardstick (defined by the Newton-Wigner…

We propose a two-dimensional phase-field-crystal model for the (2$\times$1)-(1$\times$1) phase transitions of Si(001) and Ge(001) surfaces. The dimerization in the 2$\times$1 phase is described with a phase-field-crystal variable which is…

The Curie-Weiss Potts model is a mean field version of the well-known Potts model. In this model, the critical line $\beta = \beta_c (h)$ is explicitly known and corresponds to a first order transition when $q > 2$. In the present paper we…
We suggest that if a localized phase at nonzero temperature $T>0$ exists for strongly disordered and weakly interacting electrons, as recently argued, it will also occur when both disorder and interactions are strong and $T$ is very high.…
We consider some aspects of a standard model employed in studies of many-body localization: interacting spinless fermions with quenched disorder, for non-zero filling fraction, here on $d$-dimensional lattices. The model may be recast as an…
