In some recent papers some theorems on sufficiency conditions for the occurrence of a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetry breaking phase transition ($\mathbb{Z}_2$-SBPT) have been showed making use of geometric-topological concepts of potential energy…
In a recent paper a toy model (hypercubic model) undergoing a first-order $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetry-breaking phase transition ($\mathbb{Z}_2$-SBPT) was introduced. The hypercubic model was inspired by the \emph{topological hypothesis},…
In a recent paper a toy model (called hypercubic model) undergoing a first-order $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry breaking phase transition (SBPT) has been introduced. The hypercubic model was inspired by the \emph{topological hypothesis}, according…
In the framework of a recently proposed topological approach to phase transitions, some sufficient conditions ensuring the presence of the spontaneous breaking of a Z_2 symmetry and of a symmetry-breaking phase transition are introduced and…
The subject of this paper is the phase transition between symmetry protected topological states (SPTs). We consider spatial dimension $d$ and symmetry group $G$ so that the cohomology group, $H^{d+1}(G,U(1))$, contains at least one $Z_{2n}$…
In this paper we present the study of the topology of the equipotential hypersurfaces of configuration space of the mean-field $\phi^4$ model with a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. Our purpose is discovering, if any, the relation between the…
We present the full phase diagram of the dumbbell model of spin ice as a function of temperature, chemical potential and staggered chemical potential which breaks the translational lattice symmetry in favour of charge crystal ordering. We…
We investigate composite two Higgs doublet models realized as pseudo Goldstone modes, generated through the spontaneous breaking of a global symmetry due to strong dynamic at the TeV scale. A detailed comparative survey of two possible…
The paradigm of second-order phase transitions (PTs) induced by spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in thermal and quantum systems is a pillar of modern physics that has been fruitfully applied to out-of-equilibrium open quantum systems.…
In the area of topological and geometric treatment of phase transitions and symmetry breaking in Hamiltonian systems, in a recent paper some general sufficient conditions for these phenomena in $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric systems (i.e.…
We consider a two-dimensional scalar field theory that modifies the standard $\phi^4$ model by introducing a smooth breaking of translational invariance through a hyperbolic generalizing function. This function explicitly breaks the…
We revisit phase transitions in Twin Higgs (TH) models. We show that strong first-order phase transitions (FOPTs) can occur provided that appropriate source of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry breaking between the twin and Standard Model (SM)…
Two Higgs-doublet models usually consider an ad-hoc $\mathbb{Z}_2$ discrete symmetry to avoid flavor changing neutral currents. We consider a new class of two Higgs-doublet models where $\mathbb{Z}_2$ is enlarged to the symmetry group…
We consider a possibility that electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) is triggered by a fundamental Higgs and a composite Higgs arising in a dynamical symmetry breaking mechanism induced by a new strong dynamics. The resulting Higgs sector is…
Discovering and categorizing quantum orders in mixed many-body systems are currently one of the most important problems. Target model in this study is an extended version of the cluster model in one dimension with $Z_2\otimes Z_2$ symmetry,…
The extended Bose-Hubbard model for a double-well potential with pair tunneling is studied through both exact diagonalization and mean field theory (MFT). When pair tunneling is strong enough, the ground state wavefunction predicted by the…
The scalar field theory and the scalar electrodynamics quantized in the flat gap are considered. The dynamical effects arising due to the boundary presence with two types of boundary conditions (BC) satisfied by scalar fields are studied.…
The Berezinsky-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) type phase transitions in two-dimensional systems with internal abelian continuous symmetries are investigated. The necessary conditions for they can take place are: 1) conformal invariance of the…
Simple scalar-singlet extensions of the Standard Model with a (spontaneously broken) $Z_2$ symmetry allow for a strong first order electroweak phase transition, as sought in order to realize electroweak baryogenesis. However they…
We investigate competition between two phase transitions of the second kind induced by the self-attractive nonlinearity, viz., self-trapping of the leaky modes, and spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) of both fully trapped and leaky states.…
