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 converge towards the true critical points. In fact more rapidly than previously existing methods like the Phenomenological Renormalization Group approach. Our methods are valid in any spatial dimensionality and both for quantum or classical statistical systems. Having at disposal fast converging sequences, allows to draw conclusions on the basis of shorter system sizes, and can be extremely important in particularly hard cases like two-dimensional quantum systems with frustrations or when the sign problem occurs. We test the effectiveness of our methods both analytically on the basis of the one-dimensional XY model, and numerically at phase transitions occurring in non integrable spin models. In particular, we show how a new Homogeneity Condition Method is able to locate the onset of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition making only use of ground-state quantities on relatively small systems.

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
divergences render the thermodynamic limit ill-defined. In this work, we show that a thermodynamic grand potential can still be defined in pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians, and can be used to characterize aspects of criticality unique to non-Hermitian systems. Using the non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model as a paradigmatic example, we demonstrate the fractional order of topological phase transitions in the complex energy plane. These fractional orders add up to the integer order expected of a Hermitian phase transition when the model is doubled and Hermitianized. More spectacularly, gap preserving highly degenerate critical points known as non-Bloch band collapses possess fractional order that are not constrained by conventional scaling relations, testimony to the emergent extra length scale from the skin mode accumulation. Our work showcases that a thermodynamic approach can prove fruitful in revealing unconventional properties of non-Hermitian critical points.
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.
A two-loop renormalization group analysis of the critical behaviour at an isotropic Lifshitz point is presented. Using dimensional regularization and minimal subtraction of poles, we obtain the expansions of the critical exponents $ u$ and $eta$, the
crossover exponent $phi$, as well as the (related) wave-vector exponent $beta_q$, and the correction-to-scaling exponent $omega$ to second order in $epsilon_8=8-d$. These are compared with the authors recent $epsilon$-expansion results [{it Phys. Rev. B} {bf 62} (2000) 12338; {it Nucl. Phys. B} {bf 612} (2001) 340] for the general case of an $m$-axial Lifshitz point. It is shown that the expansions obtained here by a direct calculation for the isotropic ($m=d$) Lifshitz point all follow from the latter upon setting $m=8-epsilon_8$. This is so despite recent claims to the contrary by de Albuquerque and Leite [{it J. Phys. A} {bf 35} (2002) 1807].
Continuum models with critical end points are considered whose Hamiltonian ${mathcal{H}}[phi,psi]$ depends on two densities $phi$ and $psi$. Field-theoretic methods are used to show the equivalence of the critical behavior on the critical line and at
the critical end point and to give a systematic derivation of critical-end-point singularities like the thermal singularity $sim|{t}|^{2-alpha}$ of the spectator-phase boundary and the coexistence singularities $sim |{t}|^{1-alpha}$ or $sim|{t}|^{beta}$ of the secondary density $<psi>$. The appearance of a discontinuity eigenexponent associated with the critical end point is confirmed, and the mechanism by which it arises in field theory is clarified.
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.
