The free energy and local height probabilities of the dilute A models with broken $\Integer_2$ symmetry are calculated analytically using inversion and corner transfer matrix methods. These models possess four critical branches. The first…

A Monte Carlo simulation study of the critical and off-critical behavior of the Baxter-Wu model, which belongs to the universality class of the 4-state Potts model, was performed. We estimate the critical temperature window using known…

We investigate some properties of the standard rotator approximation of the SU$(N)\times\,$SU$(N)$ sigma-model in the delta-regime. In particular we show that the isospin susceptibility calculated in this framework agrees with that computed…

We investigate a phase transition of the O(N) invariant scalar model using the auxiliary mass method. We determine the critical exponent $\beta$ by calculating an effective potential below the critical temperature. This work follows that of…

Using an elaborate set of simulational tools and statistically optimized methods of data analysis we investigate the scaling behavior of the correlation lengths of three-dimensional classical O($n$) spin models. Considering…

We study the dual description of the $\eta$-deformed $OSP(N|2m)$ sigma model in the asymptotically free regime ($N>2m+2$). Compared to the case of classical Lie groups, for supergroups there are inequivalent $\eta$-deformations…

We determine the scaling equation of state of the three-dimensional O(N) universality class, for N=5, 6, 32, 64. The N=5 model is relevant for the SO(5) theory of high-T_c superconductivity, while the N=6 model is relevant for the chiral…

We analyze the $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric Wess-Zumino model dimensionally reduced to the $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric model in three Euclidean dimensions. As in the original model in four dimensions and the $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ model…

The low-energy limits of models with disorder are frequently described by sigma models. In two dimensions, most sigma models admit either a Wess-Zumino-Witten or a theta term. When such a term is present the model can have a stable critical…

We study numerically the metal - insulator transition in the Anderson model on various lattices with dimension $2 < d \le 4$ (bifractals and Euclidian lattices). The critical exponent $\nu$ and the critical conductance distribution are…

We analyze the $1/\theta$ and 1/N expansions of the Wilson loop averages $<W(C)>_{U_\theta (N)}$ in the two-dimensional noncommutative $U_\theta (N)$ gauge theory with the parameter of noncommutativity $\theta$. For a generic rectangular…

We investigate by means of Monte Carlo simulation and Finite-Size Scaling analysis the critical properties of the three dimensional O(5) non linear sigma model and of the antiferromagnetic RP2 model, both of them regularized on a lattice.…

We study the behavior of the antiferromagnetic RP$^2$ model in $d=3$. The vacuum structure is analyzed in the critical and low temperature regions, paying special attention to the spontaneous symmetry breaking pattern. Near the critical…

In the usual statistical model of a dense polymer (a single space-filling loop on a lattice) in two dimensions the loop does not cross itself. We modify this by including intersections in which {\em three} lines can cross at the same point,…

In this thesis, we explore the critical phenomena in the presence of extended objects, which we call defects, aiming for a better understanding of the properties of non-local objects ubiquitous in our world and a more practical and…

We explore models with emergent gravity and metric by means of numerical simulations. A particular type of two-dimensional non-linear sigma-model is regularized and discretized on a quadratic lattice. It is characterized by lattice…

The ordering of charges on half-filled hypercubic lattices is investigated numerically, where electroneutrality is ensured by background charges. This system is equivalent to the $s = 1/2$ Ising lattice model with antiferromagnetic $1/r$…

The critical behaviour of d-dimensional n-vector models at m-axial Lifshitz points is considered for general values of m in the large-n limit. It is proven that the recently obtained large-N expansions [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 17, S1947…

This paper studies the critical behavior of the 3d classical $\mathrm{O}(N)$ model with a boundary. Recently, one of us established that upon treating $N$ as a continuous variable, there exists a critical value $N_c > 2$ such that for $2…

We use a hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm in which a single-cluster update is combined with the over-relaxation and Metropolis spin re-orientation algorithm. Periodic boundary conditions were applied in all directions. We have calculated the…
