Static vacancies as parametrized conformal defects in the critical -- transverse-field Ising chain
R. L. Silva, R. C. Silva, R. J. C. Lopes +1
We revisit the problem of two static nonmagnetic vacancies in the transverse-field Ising chain with first- and second-neighbor couplings and , now on the critical line,…

First-order and Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transitions in two-dimensional generalized XY models
P. A. da Silva, R. J. Campos-Lopes, A. R. Pereira
The aim of this paper is to illustrate that generalized two-dimensional XY models (proposed by Romano and Zagrebnov) may also support a first-order phase transition. Two approaches…
