We derive expressions for the jumps in entropy and magnetization characterizing the first-order melting transition of a flux line lattice. In our analysis we account for the temperature dependence of the Landau parameters and make use of…

A class of large N SU(N) gauge theories on a compact manifold S^3 X R (with possible inclusion of adjoint matter) is known to show first order deconfinement transition at the deconfinement temperature. This includes the familiar example of…

This paper revisits the problem of heat conduction in relativistic fluids, associated with issues concerning both stability and causality. It has long been known that the problem requires information involving second order deviations from…

We investigate the finite-temperature phase diagram of the classical $J_1$-$J_2$ XY model on a square lattice using a tensor network approach designed for frustrated spin systems. This model, characterized by competing nearest-neighbor and…

Motivated by the recent experiment on kagome-lattice antiferromagnets, we study the zero-field ordering behavior of the antiferromagnetic classical Heisenberg model on a uniaxially distorted kagome lattice by Monte Carlo simulations. A…

We study the nature of the phase transition in the fully frustrated simple cubic lattice with the XY spin model. This system is the Villain's model generalized in three dimensions. The ground state is very particular with a 12-fold…

We discuss the scenario of two-step magnetic ordering in layered high temperature superconductors after charge ordering. As the temperature decreases, the transition from 3D Heisenberg spin behavior to 2D XY coupling of the Cu spins occurs…

We introduce a family of two-dimensional lattice models of quasicrystals, using a range of square hard cores together with a soft interaction based on an aperiodic tiling set. Along a low temperature isotherm we find, by Monte Carlo…

The study of the O(N) model at nonzero temperature is presented applying the auxiliary field method, which allows to obtain a continuous transformation between the linear and the nonlinear version of the model. In case of explicitly broken…

In this work, we establish a general theory of phase transitions and quantum entanglement in the equilibrium state at arbitrary temperatures. First, we derived a set of universal functional relations between the matrix elements of two-body…

By combining different ideas, a general and efficient protocol to deal with discontinuous phase transitions at low temperatures is proposed. For small $T$'s, it is possible to derive a generic analytic expression for appropriate order…

Vortex lattices in the high temperature superconductors undergo a first order phase transition which has thus far been regarded as melting from a solid to a liquid. We point out an alternative possibility of a two step process in which…

In the past few years considerable progress has been made in Monte Carlo simulations of first-order phase transitions and in the analysis of the resulting finite-size data. In this paper special emphasis will be placed on multicanonical…

We study singularities in the large deviation function of the time-averaged current of diffusive systems connected to two reservoirs. A set of conditions for the occurrence of phase transitions, both first and second order, are obtained by…

A two-dimensional lattice gas model is proposed. The ground state of this model with a fixed density is neither periodic nor quasi-periodic. It also depends on system size in an irregular manner. On the other hand, it is ordered in the…

We study phase transition of a nonequilibrium statistical-mechanical model, in which two degrees of freedom with different time scales separated from each other touch to their own heat bath. A general condition for finding anomalous…

A model for nonequilibrium wetting in 1+1 dimensions is introduced. It comprises adsorption and desorption processes with a dynamics which generically does not obey detailed balance. Depending on the rates of the dynamical processes the…

The thermodynamics of a first-order chiral phase transition is considered in the presence of spinodal phase separation using the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model in the mean field approximation. We focus on the behavior of conserved charge…

We study first-order phase transitions in continuum Gibbs point processes with saturated interactions. These interactions form a broad class of Hamiltonians in which the local energy in regions of high particle density depends only on the…

We present numerical results obtained in a finite-temperature study of the Sp(4) Yang-Mills theory on the lattice. We study its first-order confinement/deconfinement phase transition, by reconstructing the density of states via the…
