On the Douglas-Kazakov phase transition
ESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, 2015 We give a rigorous proof of the fact that a phase transition discovered by Douglas and Kazakov in 1993 in the context of two-dimensional gauge theories occurs. This phase transition can be formulated in terms of the Brownian bridge on

Gravitational waves from a first-order electroweak phase transition: a brief review [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2017 We review the production of gravitational waves by an electroweak first-order phase transition. The resulting signal is a good candidate for detection at next-generation gravitational wave detectors, such as LISA.

The phase transitions between $Z_n\times Z_n$ bosonic topological phases in 1+1 D, and a constraint on the central charge for the critical points between bosonic symmetry protected topological phases [PDF]
Nuclear Physics, B 919 (2017), pp. 470-503, 2017 The study of continuous phase transitions triggered by spontaneous symmetry breaking has brought revolutionary ideas to physics. Recently, through the discovery of symmetry protected topological phases, it is realized that continuous quantum phase transition can also occur between states with the same symmetry but different topology.

More on Phase Structure of Nonlocal 2D Generalized Yang-Mills Theories (nlgYM$_2$'s) [PDF]
, 2002 We study the phase structure of nonlocal two dimensional generalized Yang - Mills theories (nlgYM$_2$) and it is shown that all order of $\phi^{2k}$ model of these theories has phase transition only on compact manifold with $g = 0$(on sphere), and the ...
