Critical phenomena and renormalization-group theory

A Pelissetto, E Vicari - Physics Reports, 2002 - Elsevier
We review results concerning the critical behavior of spin systems at equilibrium. We
consider the Ising and the general O (N)-symmetric universality classes, including the N→ 0 …

[HTML][HTML] Critical casimir effect: Exact results

DM Dantchev, S Dietrich - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
In any medium there are fluctuations due to temperature or due to the quantum nature of its
constituents. If a material body is immersed into such a medium, its shape and the properties …

The QCD phase diagram for small densities from imaginary chemical potential

P De Forcrand, O Philipsen - Nuclear Physics B, 2002 - Elsevier
We present results on the QCD phase diagram for μB⩽ πT. Our simulations are performed
with an imaginary chemical potential μ= iμI for which the fermion determinant is positive. On …

Worm algorithms for classical statistical models

N Prokof'ev, B Svistunov - Physical review letters, 2001 - APS
We show that high-temperature expansions provide a basis for the novel approach to
efficient Monte Carlo simulations.“Worm” algorithms utilize the idea of updating closed-path …

Finite size scaling study of lattice models in the three-dimensional Ising universality class

M Hasenbusch - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2010 - APS
We study the spin-1/2 Ising model and the Blume-Capel model at various values of the
parameter D on the simple cubic lattice. To this end we perform Monte Carlo simulations …

The universality class of the electroweak theory

K Rummukainen, M Tsypin, K Kajantie, M Laine… - Nuclear Physics B, 1998 - Elsevier
We study the universality class and critical properties of the electroweak theory at finite
temperature. Such critical behaviour is found near the endpoint mH= mH, c of the line of first …

Cluster Monte Carlo simulation of the transverse Ising model

HWJ Blöte, Y Deng - Physical Review E, 2002 - APS
We formulate a cluster Monte Carlo method for the anisotropic limit of Ising models on (d+ 1)-
dimensional lattices, which in effect, are equivalent with d-dimensional quantum transverse …

Monte Carlo study of an improved clock model in three dimensions

M Hasenbusch - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We study a generalized clock model on the simple cubic lattice. The parameter of the model
can be tuned such that the amplitude of the leading correction to scaling vanishes. In the …

Quantum critical scaling of fidelity susceptibility

AF Albuquerque, F Alet, C Sire, S Capponi - Physical Review B—Condensed …, 2010 - APS
The behavior of the ground-state fidelity susceptibility in the vicinity of a quantum critical
point is investigated. We derive scaling relations describing its singular behavior in the …

Classical critical behavior of spin models with long-range interactions

E Luijten, HWJ Blöte - Physical Review B, 1997 - APS
We present the results of extensive Monte Carlo simulations of Ising models with
algebraically decaying ferromagnetic interactions in the regime where classical critical …
