In this thesis we investigate the Renormalization Group (RG) approach in finite-dimensional glassy systems, whose critical features are still not well-established, or simply unknown. We focus on spin and structural-glass models built on…

In this work we generalize and subsequently apply the Effective Field Renormalization Group technique to the problem of ferro- and antiferromagnetically coupled Ising spins with local anisotropy axes in geometrically frustrated geometries…

Via Monte Carlo studies of the frustrated XY or classical planar model we demonstrate the possibility of a finite (nonzero) temperature spin/gauge glass phase in two dimensions. Examples of both periodic and quasiperiodic two dimensional…

We study the properties of the q-state frustrated bond percolation model by a Monte Carlo "bond flip" dynamics, using an algorithm originally devised by Sweeny and suitably modified to treat the presence of frustration. We analyze the…

Three-dimensional N-vector spin models may define universality classes for such diverse phenomena as i) the superfluid transition in liquid helium (currently investigated in the micro-gravity environment of the Space Shuttle) and ii) the…

A class of models with self-generated disorder and controlled frustration is studied. Between the trivial case, where frustration is not present at all, and the limit case, where frustration is present over every length scale, a region with…

Critical behavior of three-dimensional classical frustrated antiferromagnets with a collinear spin ordering and with an additional twofold degeneracy of the ground state is studied. We consider two lattice models, whose continuous limit…

The three-dimensional strongly screened vortex-glass model is studied numerically using methods from combinatorial optimization. We focus on the effect of disorder strength on the ground state and found the existence of a disorder-driven…

We show by means of a Monte Carlo simulation study that three-dimensional models with long-range frustration display the generic phenomena seen in fragile glassforming liquids. Due to their properties (absence of quenched disorder, physical…

We focus on two real-space renormalization-group (RG) methods recently proposed for a hierarchical model of a spin glass: A sample-by-sample method, in which the RG transformation is performed separately on each disorder sample, and an…

The set of solutions of random constraint satisfaction problems (zero energy groundstates of mean-field diluted spin glasses) undergoes several structural phase transitions as the amount of constraints is increased. This set first breaks…

We consider a gauge theory of the glass transition in the frustrated XY model being simplest model containing topologically nontrivial excitations. We describe the transition kinetics and find that the three-dimensional system exhibits the…

An XY model with random phase shifts as a model for a superconducting glass is studied in two and three dimensions by a zero temperature domain wall renormalization group which allows one to follow the flows of both the coupling constant…

The dipolar universality class describes the phase transition in 3D ferromagnets with strong dipolar interactions, as first discussed by Aharony and Fisher in the 1970s. While this universality class has been studied theoretically using…

The XY model with quenched random disorder is studied by a zero temperature domain wall renormalization group method in 2D and 3D. Instead of the usual phase representation we use the charge (vortex) representation to compute the domain…

The anisotropic frustrated three dimensional (3D) XY model with disorder in the coupling constants is simulated as a model of a point disordered superconductor in an applied magnetic field. From a finite size scaling analysis of the…

We study the scaling and universal behavior of temperature-driven first-order phase transitions in scalar models. These transitions are found to exhibit rich phenomena, though they are controlled by a single complex-conjugate pair of the…

We study topology of frustration in $d$-dimensional Ising spin glasses with $d\ge 2$ with nearest-neighbor interactions. We prove the following: For any given spin configuration, the domain walls on the unfrustration network are all…

An analytical approach, which develops the gauge model of the glass transition phenomenon, is suggested. It is based on the quantum field theory and critical dynamics methods. The suggested mechanism of glass transition is based on the…

We use the generic replica symmetric cubic field-theory to study the transition of short range Ising spin glasses in a magnetic field around the upper critical dimension, d=6. A novel fixed-point is found, in addition to the well-known zero…
