We consider gauge theories of non-Abelian $finite$ groups, and discuss the 1+1 dimensional lattice gauge theory of the permutation group $S_N$ as an illustrative example. The partition function at finite $N$ can be written explicitly in a…

Applying the machinery of random matrix theory and Toeplitz determinants we study the level $k$, $U(N)$ Chern-Simons theory coupled with fundamental matter on $S^2\times S^1$ at finite temperature $T$. This theory admits a discrete matrix…

We examine some properties of the filled Wilson loop observables in the Kazakov-Migdal model of induced QCD. We show that they have a natural interpretation in a modification of the original model in which the $Z_N$ gauge symmetry is broken…

We investigate a unitary matrix model with a complex potential with Fisher-Hartwig singularities. We show that the model exhibits finite-$N$ phase transitions. The order of the phase transition is coupling-dependent. At large-$N$, these…

Dynamic phase transitions of periodically forced mean-field ferromagnets are often described by a single order parameter and a scalar conjugate field. Building from previous work, we show that, at the critical period $P_c$ of the mean-field…

Using state of the art Hybrid-Monte-Carlo (HMC) simulations we carry out an unbiased study of the competition between spin-density wave (SDW) and charge-density wave (CDW) order in suspended graphene. We determine that the realistic…

We study the deconfining phase transition at nonzero temperature in a SU(N) gauge theory, using a matrix model which was analyzed previously at small N. We show that the model is soluble at infinite N, and exhibits a Gross-Witten-Wadia…

We study the ground-state properties of a class of $\mathbb{Z}_n$ lattice gauge theories in 1 + 1 dimensions, in which the gauge fields are coupled to spinless fermionic matter. These models, stemming from discrete representations of the…

Three-flavor QCD simulation with the $O(a)$-improved Wilson fermion action is made employing an exact fermion algorithm developed for odd number of quark flavors. For the plaquette gauge action, an unexpected first-order phase transition is…

Lipkin model of arbitrary particle-number N is studied in terms of exact differential-operator representation of spin-operators from which we obtain the low-lying energy spectrum with the instanton method of quantum tunneling. Our new…

To leading order in perturbation theory, we solve QCD, defined on a small three sphere in the large N and Nf limit, at finite chemical potential and map out the phase diagram in the (mu,T) plane. The action of QCD is complex in the presence…

We study the quantum phase transition of $U(1)$ - charged Dirac fermions Yukawa-coupled to the Kekul\'e valence bond solid order parameter with $Z_3$ symmetry of the honeycomb lattice. The symmetry allows for the presence of the term in the…

We suggest a theory of the Field-Induced Charge-Density-Wave (FICDW) phases, generated by high magnetic fields in quasi-low-dimensional conductors. We demonstrate that, in layered quasi-one-dimensional conductors, the corresponding critical…

We study the phase structures of N=4 U(N) super Yang-Mills theories on R x S^3/Z_k with large N. The theory has many vacua labelled by the holonomy matrix along the non-trivial cycle on S^3/Z_k, and for the fermions the periodic and the…

We investigate the phase diagram and the nature of the phase transitions of three-dimensional lattice gauge-Higgs models obtained by gauging the Z_N subgroup of the global Z_q invariance group of the Z_q clock model (N is a submultiple of…

To study the behavior of the Kazakov-Migdal at large N the quenched momentum prescription with constraints for treating the large N limit of gauge theories is used. It is noted that it leads to a quartic dependence of an action on unitary…

We study the thermodynamic phase diagram of a one-dimensional quantum spin chain subjected to both mean-field and nearest-neighbor interactions, and to a transverse magnetic field $h$. The purpose is to determine the effect of the quantum…

We develop the mean-field theory of a charge-density wave (CDW) state in magnetic field and study the properties of this state below the transition temperature. We show that the CDW state with shifted wave vector in high magnetic field…

We study thermodynamics of strongly coupled lattice QCD with two colors of massless staggered fermions as a function of the baryon chemical potential $\mu$ in 3+1 dimensions using a new cluster algorithm. We find evidence that the model…

We calculate the partition functions of QCD in two dimensions on a cylinder and on a torus in the gauge $\partial_{0} A_{0} = 0$ by integrating explicitly over the non zero modes of the Fourier expansion in the periodic time variable. The…
