Strong and weak field criticality of 2D liquid gas transition

Finite size scaling (FSS) analysis of the liquid gas criticality is complicated by the absence of any broken symmetry. This, in particular, does not allow a straightforward finding of the coexistence line and the critical point. The numerical flowgram (NF) method is adapted for a controlled determination of the coexistence line and the critical point, with the critical indices $\mu,\, \nu$ measured within 1-2% of the total error. The approach based on the NF for measuring the non-analytical corrections to the diameter - the mean density of the liquid and gas phases along the coexistence line - is outlined. Our analysis is a first step toward a general evaluation of isolated critical and multicritical points.

Revisiting universality of the liquid-gas critical point in 2D

Critical point of liquid-gas (LG) transition does not conform with the paradigm of spontaneous symmetry breaking because there is no broken symmetry in both phases. This stimulated the ongoing debate about the nature of the universality class of the transition -- lasting since the creation of the theory of scaling. We revisit the conjecture that the LG criticality is that of the Ising model. Large scale Monte Carlo simulations of the LG criticality in 2D free space in combination with the numerical flowgram method give the critical indices agreeing with the Onsager values within the error of 1\%. The related problem about the role of higher order odd terms in the (real) $\varphi^4$ field model is addressed too. The scaling dimension of the $\varphi^5$ term at criticality is shown to be the same as of the linear one $\varphi$. We suggest that the role of all higher order odd terms is simply in generating the linear field operator at the criticality.

Emergence of Luttinger Liquid behavior of a superclimbing dislocation

A superclimbing dislocation spread over several valleys of Peierls potential in solid Helium-4 represents a non-Luttinger Liquid according to the elementary scaling dimensional analysis because its excitation spectrum is parabolic. Monte Carlo simulations, however, reveal that such a dislocation develops Luttinger Liquid behavior, which can also undergo a transition into insulating state. External bias can restore the parabolic spectrum. An experimental verification of the effect is proposed.
