We consider a classical spin model, of two-dimensional spins, with continuous symmetry, and investigate the effect of a symmetry breaking unidirectional quenched disorder on the magnetization of the system. We work in the mean field regime. We show, by numerical simulations and by perturbative calculations in the low as well as in the high temperature limits, that although the continuous symmetry of the magnetization is lost, the system still magnetizes, albeit with a lower value as compared to the case without disorder. The critical temperature at which the system starts magnetizing, also decreases with the introduction of disorder. However, with the introduction of an additional constant magnetic field, the component of magnetization in the direction that is transverse to the disorder field increases with the introduction of the quenched disorder. We discuss the same effects also for three-dimensional spins.

We investigate a recently proposed non-Markovian random walk model characterized by loss of memories of the recent past and amnestically induced persistence. We report numerical and analytical results showing the complete phase diagram, consisting of 4 phases, for this system: (i) classical nonpersistence, (ii) classical persistence (iii) log-periodic nonpersistence and (iv) log-periodic persistence driven by negative feedback. The first two phases possess continuous scale invariance symmetry, however log-periodicity breaks this symmetry. Instead, log-periodic motion satisfies discrete scale invariance symmetry, with complex rather than real fractal dimensions. We find for log-periodic persistence evidence not only of statistical but also of geometric self-similarity.
The present paper considers some classical ferromagnetic lattice--gas models, consisting of particles that carry $n$--component spins ($n=2,3$) and associated with a $D$--dimensional lattice ($D=2,3$); each site can host one particle at most, thus implicitly allowing for hard--core repulsion; the pair interaction, restricted to nearest neighbors, is ferromagnetic, and site occupation is also controlled by the chemical potential $mu$. The models had previously been investigated by Mean Field and Two--Site Cluster treatments (when D=3), as well as Grand--Canonical Monte Carlo simulation in the case $mu=0$, for both D=2 and D=3; the obtained results showed the same kind of critical behaviour as the one known for their saturated lattice counterparts, corresponding to one particle per site. Here we addressed by Grand--Canonical Monte Carlo simulation the case where the chemical potential is negative and sufficiently large in magnitude; the value $mu=-D/2$ was chosen for each of the four previously investigated counterparts, together with $mu=-3D/4$ in an additional instance. We mostly found evidence of first order transitions, both for D=2 and D=3, and quantitatively characterized their behaviour. Comparisons are also made with recent experimental results.
We present our views on the issues raised in the chapter by Griffin and Zaremba [A. Griffin and E. Zaremba, in Quantum Gases: Finite Temperature and Non-Equilibrium Dynamics, N. P. Proukakis, S. A. Gardiner, M. J. Davis, and M. H. Szymanska, eds., Imperial College Press, London (in press)]. We review some of the strengths and limitations of the Bose symmetry-breaking assumption, and explain how such an approach precludes the description of many important phenomena in degenerate Bose gases. We discuss the theoretical justification for the classical-field (c-field) methods, their relation to other non-perturbative methods for similar systems, and their utility in the description of beyond-mean-field physics. Although it is true that present implementations of c-field methods cannot accurately describe certain collective oscillations of the partially condensed Bose gas, there is no fundamental reason why these methods cannot be extended to treat such scenarios. By contrast, many regimes of non-equilibrium dynamics that can be described with c-field methods are beyond the reach of generalised mean-field kinetic approaches based on symmetry-breaking, such as the ZNG formalism.
We propose and analyze a general mechanism of disorder-induced order in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates, analogous to corresponding effects established for XY spin models. We show that a random Raman coupling induces a relative phase of pi/2 between two BECs and that the effect is robust. We demonstrate it in 1D, 2D and 3D at T=0 and present evidence that it persists at small T>0. Applications to phase control in ultracold spinor condensates are discussed.
We investigate the generalized p-spin models that contain arbitrary diagonal operators U with no reflection symmetry. We derive general equations that give an opportunity to uncover the behavior of the system near the glass transition at different (continuous) p. The quadrupole glass with J=1 is considered as an illustrating example. It is shown that the crossover from continuous to discontinuous glass transition to one-step replica breaking solution takes place at p=3.3 for this model. For p <2+Delta p, where Delta p= 0.5 is a finite value, stable 1RSB-solution disappears. This behaviour is strongly different from that of the p-spin Ising glass model.
