We exploit mappings between quantum and classical systems in order to obtain a class of two-dimensional classical systems with critical properties equivalent to those of the class of one-dimensional quantum systems discussed in a companion paper (J. Hutchinson, J. P. Keating, and F. Mezzadri, arXiv:1503.05732). In particular, we use three approaches: the Trotter-Suzuki mapping; the method of coherent states; and a calculation based on commuting the quantum Hamiltonian with the transfer matrix of a classical system. This enables us to establish universality of certain critical phenomena by extension from the results in our previous article for the classical systems identified.

In this paper, we study the probability distribution of the observable $s = (1/N)sum_{i=N-N+1}^N x_i$, with $1 leq N leq N$ and $x_1<x_2<cdots< x_N$ representing the ordered positions of $N$ particles in a $1d$ one-component plasma, i.e., $N$ harmonically confined charges on a line, with pairwise repulsive $1d$ Coulomb interaction $|x_i-x_j|$. This observable represents an example of a truncated linear statistics -- here the center of mass of the $N = kappa , N$ (with $0 < kappa leq 1$) rightmost particles. It interpolates between the position of the rightmost particle (in the limit $kappa to 0$) and the full center of mass (in the limit $kappa to 1$). We show that, for large $N$, $s$ fluctuates around its mean $langle s rangle$ and the typical fluctuations are Gaussian, of width $O(N^{-3/2})$. The atypical large fluctuations of $s$, for fixed $kappa$, are instead described by a large deviation form ${cal P}_{N, kappa}(s)simeq exp{left[-N^3 phi_kappa(s)right]}$, where the rate function $phi_kappa(s)$ is computed analytically. We show that $phi_{kappa}(s)$ takes different functional forms in five distinct regions in the $(kappa,s)$ plane separated by phase boundaries, thus leading to a rich phase diagram in the $(kappa,s)$ plane. Across all the phase boundaries the rate function $phi(kappa,s)$ undergoes a third-order phase transition. This rate function is also evaluated numerically using a sophisticated importance sampling method, and we find a perfect agreement with our analytical predictions.
The two-dimensional Potts model can be studied either in terms of the original Q-component spins, or in the geometrical reformulation via Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) clusters. While the FK representation makes sense for arbitrary real values of Q by construction, it was only shown very recently that the spin representation can be promoted to the same level of generality. In this paper we show how to define the Potts model in terms of observables that simultaneously keep track of the spin and FK degrees of freedom. This is first done algebraically in terms of a transfer matrix that couples three different representations of a partition algebra. Using this, one can study correlation functions involving any given number of propagating spin clusters with prescribed colours, each of which contains any given number of distinct FK clusters. For 0 <= Q <= 4 the corresponding critical exponents are all of the Kac form h_{r,s}, with integer indices r,s that we determine exactly both in the bulk and in the bounda
In this thesis we have used Quantum Monte Carlo techniques to study two systems that can be regarded as the archetype for neutral strongly interacting systems: 4He, and its fermionic counterpart 3He.More specifically, we have used the Path Integral Ground State and the Path Integral Monte Carlo methods to study a system of two dimensional 3He (2d-3He) and a system of 4He adsorbed on Graphene-Fluoride (GF) and Graphane (GH) at both zero and finite temperature. The purpose of the study of 4He on GF (GH) was the research of new physical phenomena, whereas in the case of 2d-3He it was the application of novel methodologies for the ab-initio study of static and dynamic properties of Fermi systems. In the case of 2d-3He we have computed the spin susceptibility as function of density which turned out to be in very good agreement with experimental data; we have also obtained the first ab-initio evaluation of the zero-sound mode and the dynamic structure factor of 2d-3He that is in remarkably good agreement with experiments. In the case of 4He adsorbed on GF (GH), we determined the zero temperature equilibrium density of the first monolayer of 4He showing also that the commensurate sqrt(3) x sqrt(3) R30 phase is unstable on both substrates; at equilibrium density we found that 4He on GF (GH) is a modulated superfluid with an anisotropic phono-rotonic spectrum; at high coverages we found an incommensurate triangular solid and, on both GF and GH, a commensurate phase at filling factor x= 2/7 that is locally stable or at least metastable. Remarkably, in this commensurate solid phase and for both GF and GH, our computations show preliminary evidence of the presence of a superfluid fraction.
We study quench dynamics and equilibration in one-dimensional quantum hydrodynamics, which provides effective descriptions of the density and velocity fields in gapless quantum gases. We show that the information content of the large time steady state is inherently connected to the presence of ballistically moving localised excitations. When such excitations are present, the system retains memory of initial correlations up to infinite times, thus evading decoherence. We demonstrate this connection in the context of the Luttinger model, the simplest quantum hydrodynamic model, and in the quantum KdV equation. In the standard Luttinger model, memory of all initial correlations is preserved throughout the time evolution up to infinitely large times, as a result of the purely ballistic dynamics. However nonlinear dispersion or interactions, when separately present, lead to spreading and delocalisation that suppress the above effect by eliminating the memory of non-Gaussian correlations. We show that, for any initial state that satisfies sufficient clustering of correlations, the steady state is Gaussian in terms of the bosonised or fermionised fields in the dispersive or interacting case respectively. On the other hand, when dispersion and interaction are simultaneously present, a semiclassical approximation suggests that localisation is restored as the two effects compensate each other and solitary waves are formed. Solitary waves, or simply solitons, are experimentally observed in quantum gases and theoretically predicted based on semiclassical approaches, but the question of their stability at the quantum level remains to a large extent an open problem. We give a general overview on the subject and discuss the relevance of our findings to general out of equilibrium problems.
Several examples of classical superintegrable systems in two-dimensional spac are shown to possess hidden symmetries leading to their linearization. They are those determined 50 years ago in [Phys. Lett. 13, 354 (1965)], and the more recent Tremblay-Turbiner-Winternitz system [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 42, 242001 (2009)]. We conjecture that all classical superintegrable systems in two-dimensional space have hidden symmetries that make them linearizable.
