Spectral functions in the sigma-channel near the critical end point [PDF]
, 2002 Spectral functions in the $\sigma$-channel are investigated near the chiral critical end point (CEP), that is, the point where the chiral phase transition ceases to be first-ordered in the $(\mu,T)$-plane of the QCD phase diagram.

$\mathbb{Z}_4$ transitions in quantum loop models on a zig-zag ladder
SciPost PhysicsWe study the nature of quantum phase transitions out of $\mathbb{Z}_4$ ordered phases in quantum loop models on a zig-zag ladder. We report very rich critical behavior that includes a pair of Ising transitions, a multi-critical Ashkin-Teller point and a ...

Anomalous high-magnetic field electronic state of the nematic superconductors FeSe_{1−x}S_{x}
Physical Review Research, 2020 Understanding superconductivity requires detailed knowledge of the normal electronic state from which it emerges. A nematic electronic state that breaks the rotational symmetry of the lattice can potentially promote unique scattering relevant for ...

Proton number fluctuation as a signal of the QCD critical end-point [PDF]
, 2003 We argue that the event-by-event fluctuation of the proton number is a meaningful and promising observable for the purpose of detecting the QCD critical end-point in heavy-ion collision experiments.

Quantum Triple Point and Quantum Critical End Points in Metallic Magnets
Physical Review Letters, 2017 In low-temperature metallic magnets, ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) orders can exist in a single system in different parts of the phase diagram as a function of some control parameter. These phases can be adjacent, or exist concurrently, resulting in a phase transition between a FM phase and an AFM one, or between a phase of concurrent ...

Theory of magnetic field-induced metaelectric critical end point in BiMn$_2$O$_5$
, 2008 A recent experiment on the multiferroic BiMn$_2$O$_5$ compound under a strong applied magnetic field revealed a rich phase diagram driven by the coupling of magnetic and charge (dipolar) degrees of freedom.

On the critical end point in a two-flavor linear sigma model coupled to quarks
, 2020 We use the linear sigma model coupled to quarks to explore the location of the phase transition lines in the QCD phase diagram from the point of view of chiral symmetry restoration at high temperature and baryon chemical potential.

Solitonic Charged Pion Crystal in Dense QCD – from a generalized Ginzburg-Landau approach –
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2014 We present a systematic study of the phase structure of QCD near the critical point within a general Ginzburg-Landau framework. In particular, we are interested in clarifying the effects of isospin mismatch on the critical point and inhomogeneous phases ...

Chain length dependence of the polymer-solvent critical point parameters
, 1996 We report grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations of the critical point properties of homopolymers within the Bond Fluctuation model. By employing Configurational Bias Monte Carlo methods, chain lengths of up to N=60 monomers could be studied.
