We present a large-scale (36000-particle) computational study of the "inherent structures" (IS) associated with equilibrium, two-dimensional, one-component Lennard-Jones systems. Our results provide strong support both for the…

We consider the classical XY model (O(2) nonlinear sigma-model) on a class of lattices with the (fractal) dimensions 1<D<2. The Berezinskii's harmonic approximation suggests that the model undergoes a phase transition in which the low…

The spontaneous breaking of a global discrete translational symmetry in the finite, lattice quantum sine-Gordon model is demonstrated by a density matrix renormalization group. A phase diagram in the coupling constant - inverse system size…

Strain correlation functions in two-dimensional isotropic elastic bodies are shown both theoretically (using the general structure of isotropic tensor fields) and numerically (using a glass-forming model system) to depend on the coordinates…

Some important rigorous results on phase transitions accompanied by the spontaneous breaking of symmetries in statistical mechanics and relativistic quantum field theory are reviewed. Basic ideas, mainly inspired by quantum field theory,…

It was argued many years ago that translational symmetry breaking due to the appearance of spin-Peierls ordering (or bond-charge stripe order) is a fundamental property of the quantum paramagnetic states of a large class of square lattice…

The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless mechanism, in which a phase transition is mediated by the proliferation of topological defects, governs the critical behaviour of a wide range of equilibrium two-dimensional systems with a continuous…

The spin-spin correlation function of the 2D XY model decays as a power law at all temperatures below the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition point with a temperature dependent exponent $\eta=\eta(T/J)$ ($J$ is the ferromagnetic…

Large-scale computer simulations involving more than a million particles have been performed to study the melting transition in a two-dimensional hard disk fluid. The van der Waals loop previously observed in the pressure-density…

We develop a stochastic approach for describing 3D-phase transformations ruled by time-dependent correlated nucleation at solid surfaces. The kinetics is expressed as a series of correlation functions and, at odds with modeling based on…

The sliding columnar phase is a new liquid-crystalline phase of matter composed of two-dimensional smectic lattices stacked one on top of the other. This phase is characterized by strong orientational but weak positional correlations…

In two-dimensional lattice fermion model a determinant representation for the two-point correlation function of the twist field in the disorder phase is obtained. This field is defined by twisted boundary conditions for lattice fermion…

The supersolid phase of soft-core bosons in two dimensions is investigated using the self-consistent Hartree-Fock and quantum Monte Carlo methods. An approximate phase diagram at finite temperatures is initially constructed using the…

The homotopy theory of topological defects in ordered media fails to completely characterize systems with broken translational symmetry. We argue that the problem can be understood in terms of the lack of rotational Goldstone modes in such…

Motivated by recent experiments on radiative recombination of two-dimensional electrons in acceptor doped GaAs-AlGaAs heterojunctions as well as the success of a harmonic solid model in describing tunneling between two-dimensional electron…

Using rigorous constitutive linearization of second variation introduced in [6] we study weak stability of homogeneous deformation of the axially compressed circular cylindrical shell, regarded as a 3-dimensional hyperelastic body. We show…

Conventional derivations of phase boundaries from the Clausius-Clapeyron (CC) relation often employ the constant latent heat approximation to maintain analytical functions of the sublimation and boiling curves. To address the complex…

We apply variational tensor-network methods for simulating the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition in the classical two-dimensional XY model. In particular, using uniform matrix product states (MPS) with non-abelian O(2) symmetry, we…

Following the field theoretic approach of Basko et al., Ann. Phys. 321, 1126 (2006), we study in detail the real-time dynamics of a system expected to exhibit many-body localization. In particular, for time scales inaccessible to exact…

We report the specific heat $c_N$ around the melting transition(s) of micrometer-sized superparamagnetic particles confined in two dimensions, calculated from fluctuations of positions and internal energy, and corresponding Monte Carlo…
