We discuss the polarization amplitude of quantum spin systems in one dimension. In particular, we closely investigate it in gapless phases of those systems based on the two-dimensional conformal field theory. The polarization amplitude is defined as the ground-state average of a twist operator which induces a large gauge transformation attaching the unit amount of the U(1) flux to the system. We show that the polarization amplitude under the periodic boundary condition is sensitive to perturbations around the fixed point of the renormalization-group flow rather than the fixed point itself even when the perturbation is irrelevant. This dependence is encoded into the scaling law with respect to the system size. In this paper, we show how and why the scaling law of the polarization amplitude encodes the information of the renormalization-group flow. In addition, we show that the polarization amplitude under the antiperiodic boundary condition is determined fully by the fixed point in contrast to that under the periodic one and that it visualizes clearly the nontriviality of spin systems in the sense of the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem.
Analyzing in detail the first corrections to the scaling hypothesis, we develop accelerated methods for the determination of critical points from finite size data. The output of these procedures are sequences of pseudo-critical points which rapidly c
Critical phase transitions contain a variety of deep and universal physics, and are intimately tied to thermodynamic quantities through scaling relations. Yet, these notions are challenged in the context of non-Hermiticity, where spatial or temporal
Landau theory is used to investigate the behaviour of a metallic magnet driven towards a quantum critical point by the application of pressure. The observed dependence of the transition temperature with pressure is used to show that the coupling of t
We study high frequency response functions, notably the optical conductivity, in the vicinity of quantum critical points (QCPs) by allowing for both detuning from the critical coupling and finite temperature. We consider general dimensions and dynami
We address the quantum-critical behavior of a two-dimensional itinerant ferromagnetic systems described by a spin-fermion model in which fermions interact with close to critical bosonic modes. We consider Heisenberg ferromagnets, Ising ferromagnets,
