Field theory at nonvanishing temperature beyond perturbation theory is discussed for the $N$-component $O(N)$-symmetric scalar theory. We compute the effective potential directly in three dimensions using an exact evolution equation for an…
We present a comprehensive study of phase transitions in single-field systems that relax to a non-equilibrium global steady state. The mechanism we focus on is not the so-called Stratonovich drift combined with collective effects, but is…
We reexamine the two-dimensional linear O(2) model ($\varphi^4$ theory) in the framework of the nonperturbative renormalization-group. From the flow equations obtained in the derivative expansion to second order and with optimization of the…
It is shown how quantum field theory at finite temperature can be used to set up self-consistent and gauge invariant equations for cosmological perturbations sustained by an ultrarelativistic plasma. While in the collisionless case, the…
The phase transition patterns displayed by a model of two coupled complex scalar fields are studied at finite temperature and chemical potential. Possible phenomena like symmetry persistence and inverse symmetry breaking at high…
At high temperatures a four dimensional field theory is reduced to a three dimensional field theory. In this letter we consider the $\phi^4$ theory whose parameters are chosen so that a thermal phase transition occurs at a high temperature.…
We show that an atomic system in a periodically modulated optical trap displays an ideal mean-field symmetry-breaking transition. The symmetry is broken with respect to time translation by the modulation period. The transition is due to the…
A model of two coupled complex scalar fields is studied at finite temperature and under an external magnetic field. The results are obtained in the context of the nonperturbative method of the optimized perturbation theory and contrasted…
A general self-consistency approach allows a thorough treatment of the corrections to the mean-field approximation (MFA). The natural extension of standard MFA with the help of a cumulant expansion leads to a new point of view on the…
We study symmetry restoration at finite temperature in the standard model during the electroweak phase transition in the presence of a weak magnetic field. We compute the finite temperature effective potential up to the contribution of ring…
Results of Monte Carlo simulations of the one-dimensional long-range Ising spin glass with power-law interactions in the presence of a (random) field are presented. By tuning the exponent of the power-law interactions, we are able to scan…
We discuss how to implement an ``environmentally friendly'' renormalization in the context of finite temperature field theory. Environmentally friendly renormalization provides a method for interpolating between the different effective…
These lectures review phases and phase transitions of the Standard Model, with emphasis on those aspects which are amenable to a first principle study. Model calculations and theoretical ideas of practical applicability are discussed as…
We investigate the phase transition in a strongly disordered short-range three-spin interaction model characterized by the absence of time reversal symmetry in the Hamiltonian. In the mean-field limit the model is well described by the…
We consider a Mott transition of the Hubbard model in infinite dimensions. The dynamical mean- field theory is employed in combination with a continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo (CTQMC) method for an accurate description at low…
We develop a finite temperature mean field theory in the path integral picture for an extremely dilute system of interacting Fermions in a plane. In the limit of short ranged interactions, the system is shown to undergo a phase transition…
We study the full out-of-thermal-equilibrium dynamics of a relativistic classical scalar field through a symmetry breaking phase transition. In these circumstances we determine the evolution of the ensemble averages of the correlation…
Mean field replica theory is employed to analyze the freezing transition of random heteropolymers comprised of an arbitrary number ($q$) of types of monomers. Our formalism assumes that interactions are short range and heterogeneity comes…
The out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model is studied in presence of an externally imposed magnetic field h. Lynden-Bell's theory of violent relaxation is revisited and shown to adequately capture the system…
In this study, we present theoretical investigations of phase transitions and critical phenomena in materials through the lens of second-order Ginzburg-Landau theory, in conjunction with considerations of symmetry groups and thermal…
