We discuss a superfluid phase transition in a trapped neutral-atom Fermi gas. We consider the case where the critical temperature greatly exceeds the spacing between the trap levels and derive the corresponding Ginzburg-Landau equation. The…

We study numerically the critical properties of the U(1)-Higgs lattice model, with fixed Higgs modulus, in the region of small gauge coupling where the Higgs and Confining phases merge. We find evidence of a first order transition line that…

An investigation of the spatial fluctuations and their manifestations in the vicinity of the quantum critical point within the framework of the renormalized $\phi^{4}$ theory is proposed. Relevant features are reported through the…

The linear-$\sigma$ model has been widely used to describe the chiral phase transition. Numerically, the critical temperature $T_{c}$ of the chiral phase transition is in agreement with other effective theories of QCD. However, in the…

The four dimensional critical scalar theory at equilibrium with a thermal bath at temperature $T$ is considered. The thermal equilibrium state is labeled by $n$ the winding number of the vacua around the compact imaginary-time direction…

In this paper the phase structure of the massive $\lambda \phi^4$ model at finite temperature ($T \neq 0$) is investigated by applying a resummation method inspired by the renormalization-group (RG) improvement to the one-loop effective…

Conventional ordering transitions, described by the Landau paradigm, are characterized by the symmetries broken at the critical point. Within the constrained manifold occurring at low temperatures in certain frustrated systems,…

We study the phase transition between the high temperature algebraic liquid phase and the low temperature ordered phase in several different types of locally constrained O(N) spin systems, using a unified constrained Ginzburg-Landau…

We study the $\lambda\phi^4$ model in $0+2$ dimensions at criticality, and effectuate a simultaneous scaling of UV and IR physics. We demonstrate that the order parameter $\phi$, the correlation length $\xi$ and quantities like $\phi^3$ and…

The optimized linear $\delta$-expansion is applied to the $\lambda \phi^4$ theory at high temperature. Using the imaginary time formalism the thermal mass is evaluated perturbatively up to order $\delta^2$. A variational procedure…

We study the critical behaviour of the three-dimensional U(1) gauge+Higgs theory (Ginzburg-Landau model) at large scalar self-coupling \lambda (``type II region'') by measuring various correlation lengths as well as the…

We study the finite size scaling behaviour of the specific heat of thin films in the neighbourhood of the lambda-transition. To this end we have simulated the improved two-component phi^4 model on the simple cubic lattice. We employ free…

We study the critical fluctuations near the resistive transition of very thin films of high-temperature cuprate superconductors composed of a number $N$ of only a few unit cells of superconducting bilayers. For that, we solve the…

The critical behavior of an MN-component order parameter Ginzburg-Landau model with isotropic and cubic interactions describing antiferromagnetic and structural phase transitions in certain crystals with complicated ordering is studied in…

Based on recent studies of the temperature dependence of the energy and specific heat of liquid nuclear matter, a phase transition is suggested at a temperature $\sim .8$ MeV. We apply Landau Ginzburg theory to this transition and determine…

We consider the phase structure of a pure compact U(1) gauge theory in four dimensions at finite temperature by treating this system as a perturbative deformation of the topological model. Phases of a gauge theory can be investigated from…

We study analytically the phase diagram of the pure $SU(N)$ lattice gauge theory at finite temperature, and we attempt to estimate the critical deconfinement temperature. We apply large $N$ techniques to the Wilson and to the Heat Kernel…

Recent experimental and numerical studies of the critical-temperature exponent $\phi$ for the superfluid-Bose glass universality in three-dimensional systems report strong violations of the key quantum critical relation, $\phi=\nu z$, where…

In the cell, proteins fold and perform complex functions through global structural rearrangements. Function requires a protein to be at the brink of stability to be susceptible to small environmental fluctuations, yet stable enough to…

The critical behavior of the Widom-Rowlinson mixture [J. Chem. Phys. 52, 1670 (1970)] is studied in d=3 dimensions by means of grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. The finite size scaling approach of Kim, Fisher, and Luijten [Phys. Rev.…
