We develop a novel approach to phase transitions in quantum spin models based on a relation to their classical counterparts. Explicitly, we show that whenever chessboard estimates can be used to prove a phase transition in the classical…
We study the phases and phase transition lines of the finite temperature G(2) Higgs model. Our work is based on an efficient local hybrid Monte-Carlo algorithm which allows for accurate measurements of expectation values, histograms and…
Given a topologically free action of a countable group $G$ on a compact metric space $X$, there is a canonical correspondence between continuous 1-cocycles for this group action and diagonal 1-parameter groups of automorphisms of the…
The paper develops a method to construct one-parameter groups of automorphisms on the CAR C*-algebra with a prescribed field of KMS states.
A continuous groupoid homomorphism $c$ on a locally compact second countable Hausdorff \'etale groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ gives rise to a $C^{*}$-dynamical system in which every $\beta$-KMS state can be associated to a $e^{-\beta…
We propose a definition of vorticity at inverse temperature $\beta$ for Gibbs states in quantum XY or Heisenberg spin systems on the lattice by testing $\exp[-\beta H]$ on a complete set of observables ("one-point functions"). Imposing a…
The structure of KMS states of Toeplitz algebras associated to finite graphs equipped with the gauge action is determined by an Huef--Laca--Raeburn--Sims. Their results imply that extremal KMS states of type I correspond to vertices, while…
We study invariance of KMS states on graph C*-algebras coming from strongly connected and circulant graphs under the classical and quantum symmetry of the graphs. We show that the unique KMS state for strongly connected graphs is invariant…
Let $A$ be a unital C$^*$-algebra and let $\sigma$ be a one-parameter automorphism group of $A$. We consider $\operatorname{QSS}_\sigma(A)$, the set of all quantum symmetric states on $*_1^\infty A$ that are also KMS states (for a fixed…
Let $C_c^{*}(\mathbb{N}^{2})$ be the universal $C^{*}$-algebra generated by a semigroup of isometries $\{v_{(m,n)}: m,n \in \mathbb{N}\}$ whose range projections commute. We analyse the structure of KMS states on $C_{c}^{*}(\mathbb{N}^2)$…
Given a C$^*$-algebra $A$ with an almost periodic time evolution $\sigma$, we define a new C$^*$-algebra $A_c$, which we call the crystal of $(A,\sigma)$, that represents the zero temperature limit of $(A, \sigma)$. We prove that there is a…
We present a study of phase transitions of the Curie--Weiss Potts model at (inverse) temperature $\beta$, in presence of an external field $h$. Both thermodynamic and topological aspects of these transitions are considered. For the first…
We introduce a class of states, called minimally entangled typical thermal states (METTS), designed to resemble a typical state of a quantum system at finite temperature with a bias towards classical (minimally entangled) properties. These…
A new condition, called "Local KMS Condition", characterizing states of a quantum field to which one can ascribe, at a given spacetime point, a temperature, is introduced in this article. It will be shown that the Local KMS Condition (LKMS…
We investigate the factor types of the extremal KMS states for the preferred dynamics on the Toeplitz algebra and the Cuntz--Krieger algebra of a strongly connected finite $k$-graph. For inverse temperatures above 1, all of the extremal KMS…
Let $A$ be a finite set and $\phi:A^Z\to R$ be a locally constant potential. For each $\beta>0$ ("inverse temperature"), there is a unique Gibbs measure $\mu_{\beta\phi}$. We prove that, as $\beta\to+\infty$, the family…
The half-filled Kondo lattice model is studied at low temperatures on simple cubic lattice using the self-consistent theory developed in Phys. Rev. B 96, 075115 (2017). It is found to have three distinct insulating phases in the…
We study the distribution of the Schmidt coefficients of the reduced density matrix of a quantum system in a pure state. By applying general methods of statistical mechanics, we introduce a fictitious temperature and a partition function…
We present a class of subshifts $Z_N, N = 1,2,...$ whose associated $C^*$-algebras ${\cal O}_{Z_N}$ are simple, purely infinite and not stably isomorphic to any Cuntz-Krieger algebra nor to Cuntz algebra. The class of the subshifts is the…
We apply a set of different techniques to analyze the physical properties and phase transitions of monoglycerides (MG) in oil. In contrast to many studies of MG in water or aqueous systems, we find a significant difference in the phase…
