We present a detailed investigation of the probability density function (PDF) of order parameter fluctuations in the finite two-dimensional XY (2dXY) model. In the low temperature critical phase of this model, the PDF approaches a universal non-Gaussian limit distribution in the limit T-->0. Our analysis resolves the question of temperature dependence of the PDF in this regime, for which conflicting results have been reported. We show analytically that a weak temperature dependence results from the inclusion of multiple loop graphs in a previously-derived graphical expansion. This is confirmed by numerical simulations on two controlled approximations to the 2dXY model: the Harmonic and ``Harmonic XY models. The Harmonic model has no Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinskii (KTB) transition and the PDF becomes progressively less skewed with increasing temperature until it closely approximates a Gaussian function above T ~ 4pi. Near to that temperature we find some evidence of a phase transition, although our observations appear to exclude a thermodynamic singularity.

The critical behaviour of statistical models with long-range interactions exhibits distinct regimes as a function of $rho$, the power of the interaction strength decay. For $rho$ large enough, $rho>rho_{rm sr}$, the critical behaviour is observed to coincide with that of the short-range model. However, there are controversial aspects regarding this picture, one of which is the value of the short-range threshold $rho_{rm sr}$ in the case of the long-range XY model in two dimensions. We study the 2d XY model on the {it diluted} graph, a sparse graph obtained from the 2d lattice by rewiring links with probability decaying with the Euclidean distance of the lattice as $|r|^{-rho}$, which is expected to feature the same critical behavior of the long range model. Through Monte Carlo sampling and finite-size analysis of the spontaneous magnetisation and of the Binder cumulant, we present numerical evidence that $rho_{rm sr}=4$. According to such a result, one expects the model to belong to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) universality class for $rhoge 4$, and to present a $2^{nd}$-order transition for $rho<4$.
We investigate the coarsening dynamics in the two-dimensional Hamiltonian XY model on a square lattice, beginning with a random state with a specified potential energy and zero kinetic energy. Coarsening of the system proceeds via an increase in the kinetic energy and a decrease in the potential energy, with the total energy being conserved. We find that the coarsening dynamics exhibits a consistently superdiffusive growth of a characteristic length scale with 1/z > 1/2 (ranging from 0.54 to 0.57). Also, the number of point defects (vortices and antivortices) decreases with exponents ranging between 1.0 and 1.1. On the other hand, the excess potential energy decays with a typical exponent of 0.88, which shows deviations from the energy-scaling relation. The spin autocorrelation function exhibits a peculiar time dependence with non-power law behavior that can be fitted well by an exponential of logarithmic power in time. We argue that the conservation of the total Josephson (angular) momentum plays a crucial role for these novel features of coarsening in the Hamiltonian XY model.
We investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics following a quench to zero temperature of the non-conserved Ising model with power-law decaying long-range interactions $propto 1/r^{d+sigma}$ in $d=2$ spatial dimensions. The zero-temperature coarsening is always of special interest among nonequilibrium processes, because often peculiar behavior is observed. We provide estimates of the nonequilibrium exponents, viz., the growth exponent $alpha$, the persistence exponent $theta$, and the fractal dimension $d_f$. It is found that the growth exponent $alphaapprox 3/4$ is independent of $sigma$ and different from $alpha=1/2$ as expected for nearest-neighbor models. In the large $sigma$ regime of the tunable interactions only the fractal dimension $d_f$ of the nearest-neighbor Ising model is recovered, while the other exponents differ significantly. For the persistence exponent $theta$ this is a direct consequence of the different growth exponents $alpha$ as can be understood from the relation $d-d_f=theta/alpha$; they just differ by the ratio of the growth exponents $approx 3/2$. This relation has been proposed for annihilation processes and later numerically tested for the $d=2$ nearest-neighbor Ising model. We confirm this relation for all $sigma$ studied, reinforcing its general validity.
We study the ordering of the spin and the chirality in the fully frustrated XY model on a square lattice by extensive Monte Carlo simulations. Our results indicate unambiguously that the spin and the chirality exhibit separate phase transitions at two distinct temperatures, i. e. , the occurrence of the spin-chirality decoupling. The chirality exhibits a long-range order at T_c=0.45324(1) via a second-order phase transition, where the spin remains disordered with a finite correlation length xi_s(T_c) sim 120. The critical properties of the chiral transition determined from a finite-size scaling analysis for large enough systems of linear size L > xi_s(T_c) are well compatible with the Ising universality. On the other hand, the spin exhibits a phase transition at a lower temperature T_s=0.4418(5) into the quasi-long-range-ordered phase. We found eta(T_s)=0.201(1), suggesting that the universality of the spin transition is different from that of the conventional Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transition.
Out-of-time-order correlators (OTOC) are considered to be a promising tool to characterize chaos in quantum systems. In this paper we study OTOC in XY model. With the presence of anisotropic parameter $gamma$ and external magnetic field $lambda$ in the Hamiltonian, we mainly focus on their influences on OTOC in thermodynamical limit. We find that the butterfly speed $v_B$ is dependent of these two parameters, and the recent conjectured universal form which characterizes the wavefront of chaos spreading are proved to be positive with varying $v_B$ in different phases of XY model. Moreover, we also study the behaviors of OTOC with fixed location, and we find that the early-time part fully agrees with the results derived from Hausdorff-Baker-Campbell expansion. The long-time part is studied either, while in the local case $C(t)$ decay as power law $t^{-1}$, $|F(t)|$ with nonlocal operators show quite interesting and nontrivial power law decay corresponding to different choices of operators and models. At last, we observe temperature dependence for OTOC with local operators at ($gamma=0, lambda=1$), and divergent behavior with low temperature for nonlocal operator case at late time.
