We study a $mathcal PT$-symmetric scalar Euclidean field theory with a complex action, using both theoretical analysis and lattice simulations. This model has a rich phase structure that exhibits pattern formation in the critical region. Analytical results and simulations associate pattern formation with tachyonic instabilities in the homogeneous phase. Monte Carlo simulation shows that pattern morphologies vary smoothly, without distinct microphases. We suggest that pattern formation in this model may be regarded as a form of arrested spinodal decomposition. We extend our theoretical analysis to multicomponent $mathcal PT$-symmetric Euclidean scalar field theories and show that they give rise to new universality classes of local field theories that exhibit patterned behavior in the critical region. QCD at finite temperature and density is a member of the $Z(2)$ universality class when the Polyakov loop is used to distinguish confined and deconfined phases. This suggests the possibility of the formation of patterns of confined and deconfined matter in QCD in the critical region in the $mu-T$ plane.
Partial differential equations (PDE) have been widely used to reproduce patterns in nature and to give insight into the mechanism underlying pattern formation. Although many PDE models have been proposed, they rely on the pre-request knowledge of phy
We investigate the effects of stochastic interactions on hydrodynamic correlation functions using the Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory. We identify new stochastic transport coefficients that are invisible in the classical constitutive relatio
We present a general formalism which allows us to derive the evolution equations describing one-dimensional (1D) and isotropic 2D interfacelike systems, that is based on symmetries, conservation laws, multiple scale arguments, and exploits the releva
We consider the two-dimensional classical XY model on a square lattice in the thermodynamic limit using tensor renormalization group and precisely determine the critical temperature corresponding to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase tra
We study perturbations that break gauge symmetries in lattice gauge theories. As a paradigmatic model, we consider the three-dimensional Abelian-Higgs (AH) model with an N-component scalar field and a noncompact gauge field, which is invariant under
