The exact solution of directed self-avoiding walks confined to a slit of finite width and interacting with the walls of the slit via an attractive potential has been calculated recently. The walks can be considered to model the polymer-induced steric stabilisation and sensitised floculation of colloidal dispersions. The large width asymptotics led to a phase diagram different to that of a polymer attached to, and attracted to, a single wall. The question that arises is: can one interpolate between the single wall and two wall cases? In this paper we calculate the exact scaling functions for the partition function by considering the two variable asymptotics of the partition function for simultaneous large length and large width. Consequently, we find the scaling functions for the force induced by the polymer on the walls. We find that these scaling functions are given by elliptic theta-functions. In some parts of the phase diagram there is more a complex crossover between the single wall and two wall cases and we elucidate how this happens.

We test an improved finite-size scaling method for reliably extracting the critical temperature $T_{rm BKT}$ of a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition. Using known single-parameter logarithmic corrections to the spin stiffness $rho_s$ at
$T_{rm BKT}$ in combination with the Kosterlitz-Nelson relation between the transition temperature and the stiffness, $rho_s(T_{rm BKT})=2T_{rm BKT}/pi$, we define a size dependent transition temperature $T_{rm BKT}(L_1,L_2)$ based on a pair of system sizes $L_1,L_2$, e.g., $L_2=2L_1$. We use Monte Carlo data for the standard two-dimensional classical XY model to demonstrate that this quantity is well behaved and can be reliably extrapolated to the thermodynamic limit using the next expected logarithmic correction beyond the ones included in defining $T_{rm BKT}(L_1,L_2)$. For the Monte Carlo calculations we use GPU (graphical processing unit) computing to obtain high-precision data for $L$ up to 512. We find that the sub-leading logarithmic corrections have significant effects on the extrapolation. Our result $T_{rm BKT}=0.8935(1)$ is several error bars above the previously best estimates of the transition temperature; $T_{rm BKT} approx 0.8929$. If only the leading log-correction is used, the result is, however, consistent with the lower value, suggesting that previous works have underestimated $T_{rm BKT}$ because of neglect of sub-leading logarithms. Our method is easy to implement in practice and should be applicable to generic BKT transitions.
We investigate the use of matrix product states (MPS) to approximate ground states of critical quantum spin chains with periodic boundary conditions (PBC). We identify two regimes in the (N,D) parameter plane, where N is the size of the spin chain an
d D is the dimension of the MPS matrices. In the first regime MPS can be used to perform finite size scaling (FSS). In the complementary regime the MPS simulations show instead the clear signature of finite entanglement scaling (FES). In the thermodynamic limit (or large N limit), only MPS in the FSS regime maintain a finite overlap with the exact ground state. This observation has implications on how to correctly perform FSS with MPS, as well as on the performance of recent MPS algorithms for systems with PBC. It also gives clear evidence that critical models can actually be simulated very well with MPS by using the right scaling relations; in the appendix, we give an alternative derivation of the result of Pollmann et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 255701 (2009)] relating the bond dimension of the MPS to an effective correlation length.
Via a combination of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and finite-size scaling (FSS) analysis, we study dynamic critical phenomena for the vapor-liquid transition in a three dimensional Lennard-Jones system. The phase behavior of the model, includi
ng the critical point, have been obtained via the Monte Carlo simulations. The transport properties, viz., the bulk viscosity and the thermal conductivity, are calculated via the Green-Kubo relations, by taking inputs from the MD simulations in the microcanonical ensemble. The critical singularities of these quantities are estimated via the FSS method. The results thus obtained are in nice agreement with the predictions of the dynamic renormalization group and mode-coupling theories.
The asymptotic analytic expression for the two-time free energy distribution function in (1+1) random directed polymers is derived in the limit when the two times are close to each other
A quantum tricritical point is shown to exists in coupled time-reversal symmetry (TRS) broken Majorana chains. The tricriticality separates topologically ordered, symmetry protected topological (SPT), and trivial phases of the system. Here we demonst
rate that the breaking of the TRS manifests itself in an emergence of a new dimensionless scale, $g = alpha(xi) B sqrt{N}$, where $N$ is the system size, $B$ is a generic TRS breaking field, and $alpha(xi)$, with $alpha(0)equiv 1$, is a model-dependent function of the localization length, $xi$, of boundary Majorana zero modes at the tricriticality. This scale determines the scaling of the finite size corrections around the tricriticality, which are shown to be {it universal}, and independent of the nature of the breaking of the TRS. We show that the single variable scaling function, $f(w)$, $wpropto m N$, where $m$ is the excitation gap, that defines finite-size corrections to the ground state energy of the system around topological phase transition at $B=0$, becomes double-scaling, $f=f(w,g)$, at finite $B$. We realize TRS breaking through three different methods with completely different lattice details and find the same universal behavior of $f(w,g)$. In the critical regime, $m=0$, the function $f(0,g)$ is nonmonotonic, and reproduces the Ising conformal field theory scaling only in limits $g=0$ and $grightarrow infty$. The obtained result sets a scale of $N gg 1/(alpha B)^2$ for the system to reach the thermodynamic limit in the presence of the TRS breaking. We derive the effective low-energy theory describing the tricriticality and analytically find the asymptotic behavior of the finite-size scaling function. Our results show that the boundary entropy around the tricriticality is also a universal function of $g$ at $m=0$.
