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.

The two-dimensional ($2d$) fully frustrated Planar Rotator model on a square lattice has been the subject of a long controversy due to the simultaneous $Z_2$ and $O(2)$ symmetry existing in the model. The $O(2)$ symmetry being responsible for the Ber
ezinskii - Kosterlitz - Thouless transition ($BKT$) while the $Z_2$ drives an Ising-like transition. There are arguments supporting two possible scenarios, one advocating that the loss of $Ising$ and $BKT$ order take place at the same temperature $T_{t}$ and the other that the $Z_2$ transition occurs at a higher temperature than the $BKT$ one. In the first case an immediate consequence is that this model is in a new universality class. Most of the studies take hand of some order parameter like the stiffness, Binders cumulant or magnetization to obtain the transition temperature. Considering that the transition temperatures are obtained, in general, as an average over the estimates taken about several of those quantities, it is difficult to decide if they are describing the same or slightly separate transitions. In this paper we describe an iterative method based on the knowledge of the complex zeros of the energy probability distribution to study the critical behavior of the system. The method is general with advantages over most conventional techniques since it does not need to identify any order parameter emph{a priori}. The critical temperature and exponents can be obtained with good precision. We apply the method to study the Fully Frustrated Planar Rotator ($PR$) and the Anisotropic Heisenberg ($XY$) models in two dimensions. We show that both models are in a new universality class with $T_{PR}=0.45286(32)$ and $T_{XY}=0.36916(16)$ and the transition exponent $ u=0.824(30)$ ($frac{1}{ u}=1.22(4)$).
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 const
ruction, 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
Antiferromagnetic quantum spin systems can exhibit a transition between collinear and spiral ground states, driven by frustration. Classically this is a smooth crossover and the crossover point is termed a Lifshitz point. Quantum fluctuations change
the nature of the transition. In particular it has been argued previously that in the two-dimensional (2D) case a spin liquid (SL) state is developed in the vicinity of the Lifshitz point, termed a Lifshitz SL. In the present work, using a field theory approach, we solve the Lifshitz quantum phase transition problem for the 2D frustrated XY-model. Specifically, we show that, unlike the SU(2) symmetric Lifshitz case, in the XY-model the SL exists only at the critical point. At zero temperature we calculate nonuniversal critical exponents in the Neel and in the spin spiral state and relate these to properties of the SL. We also solve the transition problem at a finite temperature and discuss the role of topological excitations.
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 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-Gauss
ian 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.
