Emergent universal critical behavior of the 2D $N$-color Ashkin-Teller model in the presence of correlated disorder

We study the critical behavior of the 2D $N$-color Ashkin-Teller model in the presence of random bond disorder whose correlations decays with the distance $r$ as a power-law $r^{-a}$. We consider the case when the spins of different colors sitting at the same site are coupled by the same bond and map this problem onto the 2D system of $N/2$ flavors of interacting Dirac fermions in the presence of correlated disorder. Using renormalization group we show that for $N=2$, a "weakly universal" scaling behavior at the continuous transition becomes universal with new critical exponents. For $N>2$, the first-order phase transition is rounded by the correlated disorder and turns into a continuous one.

Stability of critical behaviour of weakly disordered systems with respect to the replica symmetry breaking

A field-theoretic description of the critical behaviour of the weakly disordered systems is given. Directly, for three- and two-dimensional systems a renormalization analysis of the effective Hamiltonian of model with replica symmetry breaking (RSB) potentials is carried out in the two-loop approximation. For case with 1-step RSB the fixed points (FP's) corresponding to stability of the various types of critical behaviour are identified with the use of the Pade-Borel summation technique. Analysis of FP's has shown a stability of the critical behaviour of the weakly disordered systems with respect to RSB effects and realization of former scenario of disorder influence on critical behaviour.

Critical Behaviour of 3D Systems with Long-Range Correlated Quenched Defects

A field-theoretic description of the critical behaviour of systems with quenched defects obeying a power law correlations $\sim |{\bf x}|^{-a}$ for large separations ${\bf x}$ is given. Directly for three-dimensional systems and different values of correlation parameter $2\leq a \leq 3$ a renormalization analysis of scaling function in the two-loop approximation is carried out, and the fixed points corresponding to stability of the various types of critical behaviour are identified. The obtained results essentially differ from results evaluated by double $ε, δ$ - expansion. The critical exponents in the two-loop approximation are calculated with the use of the Pade-Borel summation technique.
