We study the scaling properties of Higgs-Yukawa models. Using the technique of Finite-Size Scaling, we are able to derive scaling functions that describe the observables of the model in the vicinity of a Gaussian fixed point. A feasibility study of our strategy is performed for the pure scalar theory in the weak-coupling regime. Choosing the on-shell renormalisation scheme gives us an advantage to fit the scaling functions against lattice data with only a small number of fit parameters. These formulae can be used to determine the universality of the observed phase transitions, and thus play an essential role in future investigations of Higgs-Yukawa models, in particular in the strong Yukawa coupling region.

An effective Finite-Size Scaling (FSS) of moment products from recent STAR measurements of the variance $sigma$, skewness $S$ and kurtosis $kappa$ of net-proton multiplicity distributions, are reported for a broad range of collision centralities in Au+Au ($sqrt{s_{NN}}= 7.7 - 200$ GeV) collisions. The products $Ssigma $ and $kappa sigma^2 $, which are directly related to the hgher-order baryon number susceptibility ratios $chi^{(3)}_B/chi^{(2)}_B$ and $chi^{(4)}_B/chi^{(2)}_B$, show scaling patterns consistent with earlier indications for a second order phase transition at a critical end point (CEP) in the plane of temperature vs. baryon chemical potential ($T,mu_B$) of the QCD phase diagram. The resulting scaling functions validate the earlier estimates of $T^{text{cep}} sim 165$ MeV and $mu_B^{text{cep}} sim 95$ MeV for the location of the CEP, and the critical exponents used to assign its 3D Ising model universality class.
Finite-size scaling is investigated in detail around the critical point in the heavy-quark region of nonzero temperature QCD. Numerical simulations are performed with large spatial volumes up to the aspect ratio $N_s/N_t=12$ at a fixed lattice spacing with $N_t=4$. We show that the Binder cumulant and the distribution function of the Polyakov loop follow the finite-size scaling in the $Z(2)$ universality class for large spatial volumes with $N_s/N_t ge 9$, while, for $N_s/N_t le 8$, the Binder cumulant becomes inconsistent with the $Z(2)$ scaling. To realize the large-volume simulations in the heavy-quark region, we adopt the hopping tails expansion for the quark determinant: We generate gauge configurations using the leading order action including the Polyakov loop term for $N_t=4$, and incorporate the next-to-leading order effects in the measurements by the multipoint reweighting method. We find that the use of the leading-order configurations is crucially effective in suppressing the overlapping problem in the reweighting and thus reducing the statistical errors.
We derive finite-size scaling formulae for four-dimensional Higgs-Yukawa models near the Gaussian fixed point. These formulae will play an essential role in future, detailed investigation of such models. In particular, they can be used to determine the nature of the observed phase transitions, and confirm or rule out the possibility of having non-trivial fixed points in the Higgs-Yukawa models. Our scaling formula for Binders cumulant is tested against lattice simulations carried out at weak couplings, and good agreement is found. As a separate project, we also present preliminary results from our study of a chirally-invariant Higgs-Yukawa model including a dimension-six operator at finite temperature. Our work provides first indications of first-order temperature-induced phase transitions near the infinite cutoff limit in this model.
We present a relativistic and model-independent method to derive structure-dependent electromagnetic finite-size effects. This is a systematic procedure, particularly well-suited for automatization, which works at arbitrarily high orders in the large-volume expansion. Structure-dependent coefficients appear as zero-momentum derivatives of physical form factors which can be obtained through experimental measurements or auxiliary lattice calculations. As an application we derive the electromagnetic finite-size effects on the pseudoscalar meson mass and leptonic decay amplitude, through orders $mathcal{O}(1/L^3)$ and $mathcal{O}(1/L^2)$, respectively. The structure dependence appears at this order through the meson charge radius and the real radiative leptonic amplitude, which are known experimentally.
We propose to construct a chirally broken model based on the infrared fixed point of a conformal system by raising the mass of some flavors while keeping the others massless. In the infrared limit the massive fermions decouple and the massless fermions break chiral symmetry. The running coupling of this system walks and the energy range of walking can be tuned by the mass of the heavy flavors. Renormalization group considerations predict that the spectrum of such a system shows hyperscaling. We have studied a model with four light and eight heavy flavors coupled to SU(3) gauge fields and verified the above expectations. We determined the mass of several hadronic states and found that some of them are in the 2-3 TeV range if the scale is set by the pseudoscalar decay constant $F_pi approx 250$ GeV. The $0^{++}$ scalar state behaves very differently from the other hadronic states. In most of our simulations it is nearly degenerate with the pion and we estimate its mass to be less than half of the vector resonance mass.
