Criticality of O(N) symmetric models in the presence of discrete gauge symmetries
Andrea Pelissetto, Antonio Tripodo, Ettore Vicari
We investigate the critical properties of the three-dimensional (3D) antiferromagnetic RP(N-1}) model, which is characterized by a global O(N) symmetry and a discrete Z_2 gauge sym…
Dynamic finite-size scaling at first-order transitions
Andrea Pelissetto, Ettore Vicari
We investigate the dynamic behavior of finite-size systems close to a first-order transition (FOT). We develop a dynamic finite-size scaling (DFSS) theory for the dynamic behavior…
Dimensional crossover of Bose-Einstein condensation phenomena in quantum gases confined within slab geometries
Francesco Delfino, Ettore Vicari
We investigate systems of interacting bosonic particles confined within slab-like boxes of size L^2 x Z with Z<<L, at their three-dimensional (3D) BEC transition temperature T_c, a…
Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson approach to critical phenomena in the presence of gauge symmetries
Andrea Pelissetto, Antonio Tripodo, Ettore Vicari
We critically reconsider the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson (LGW) approach to critical phenomena in the presence of gauge symmetries. In the LGW framework, to obtain the universal features…
Theta dependence in the large N limit
Claudio Bonati, Massimo D'Elia, Paolo Rossi +1
Studies of the large behaviour of the topological properties of gauge theories typically focused on the large scaling of the topological susceptibility. A much more difficu…
