The Ashkin-Teller model is a pair of interacting Ising models and has two parameters: $J$ is a coupling constant in the Ising models and $U$ describes the strength of the interaction between them. In the ferromagnetic case $J,U>0$ on the…
We investigate the low-energy properties as well as quantum and thermal phase transitions of the Baxter-Wu model in a transverse magnetic field. Our study relies on stochastic series expansion quantum Monte Carlo and on series expansions…
We study a quantum double model whose degrees of freedom are Ising anyons. The terms of the Hamiltonian of this system give rise to a competition between single and double topologies. By studying the energy spectra of the Hamiltonian at…
The two-dimensional ferromagnetic anisotropic Ashkin-Teller model is investigated through a real-space renormalization-group approach. The critical frontier, separating five distinct phases, recover all the known exacts results for the…
The two-dimensional Ashkin-Teller model provides the simplest example of a statistical system exhibiting a line of critical points along which the critical exponents vary continously. The scaling limit of both the paramagnetic and…
We study two types of generalized Baxter-Wu models, by means of transfer-matrix and Monte Carlo techniques. The first generalization allows for different couplings in the up- and down triangles, and the second generalization is to a…
The characterization of an infinite-order quantum phase transition (QPT) by entanglement measures is analyzed. To this aim, we consider two closely related solvable spin-1/2 chains, namely, the Ashkin-Teller and the staggered XXZ models.…
We determine the finite-temperature phase diagram and critical behavior of the classical square-lattice Heisenberg-compass model using large-scale Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling. Six symmetry distinct ordered phases are…
We show that the strong coupling phase of the non-Abelian Thirring model is dual to the weak-coupling phase of a system of two WZNW models coupled to each other through a current-current interaction. This latter system is integrable and is…
We study the strong coupling limit of the extended Hubbard model in two dimensions. The model consists of hopping, on-site interaction, nearest-neighbor interaction, spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman spin splitting. While the study of this…
We calculate the phase diagram of a model for topological superconducting wires with local s-wave pairing, spin-orbit coupling $\vec{\lambda}$ and magnetic field $\vec{B}$ with arbitrary orientations. This model is a generalized lattice…
Matrix models have been shown to be equivalent to noncommutative field theories. In this work we study noncommutative X-Y model and try to understand Kosterlitz Thouless transition in it by analysing the equivalent matrix model. We consider…
The double scaling limit of a new class of the multi-matrix models proposed in \cite{MMM91}, which possess the $W$-symmetry at the discrete level, is investigated in details. These models are demonstrated to fall into the same universality…
We have investigated the three-color Ashkin-Teller model (3AT), on the Wheatstone bridge hierarchical lattice, by means of a Migdal-Kadanoff renormalization group approach. We have obtained the exact recursion relations for the renormalized…
We connect a family of gauge theories (Maxwell theories with a magnetoelectric coupling $\theta = 2 \pi k, k \in \mathbb{Z}$) to the family of 3D topological lattice models introduced by Walker and Wang. In particular, we show that the…
It is widely believed that the critical properties of several planar lattice models, like the Eight Vertex or the Ashkin-Teller models, are well described by an effective Quantum Field Theory obtained as formal scaling limit. On the basis…
We investigate the triangular-lattice antiferromagnetic Ising model with a spatially anisotropic next-nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic coupling, which was first discussed by Kitatani and Oguchi. By employing the effective geometric factor, we…
We consider the Ashkin-Teller model on the square lattice, which is represented by two Ising models ($\sigma$ and $\tau$) having a four-spin coupling of strength, $\epsilon$, between them. We introduce an asymmetric defect line in the…
We use the multiscale entanglement renormalisation ansatz (MERA) to numerically investigate three critical quantum spin chains with Z_2 x Z_2 on-site symmetry: a staggered XXZ model, a transverse field cluster model, and the quantum…
The Ashkin-Teller (AT) model is a generalization of Ising 2-d to a four states spin model; it can be written in the form of two Ising layers (in general with different couplings) interacting via a four-spin interaction. It was conjectured…
