Thermal excitations of frustated XY spins in two dimensions
M. Benakli, H. Zheng, M. Gabay
We present a new variational approach to the study of phase transitions in frustrated 2D XY models. In the spirit of Villain's approach for the ferromagnetic case we divide thermal…

Analytical results for Scaling Properties of the Spectrum of the Fibonacci Chain
F. Piéchon M. Benakli, A. Jagannathan
We solve the approximate renormalisation group found by Qiu Niu and Franco Nori(Phys. Rev. Lett. 57 2057(1986)) for a tight-binding hamiltonian on the Fibonacci chain. This enables…

Phase Transitions of Frustrated XY spins in Two Dimensions
M. Benakli, M. Gabay, W. M. Saslow
The row model is used to study the commensurate-incommensurate (C-IC) an isotropic (FFTXY) transitions of the frustrated 2D XY model on the triangular lattice. New relevant variabl…
