Critical phenomena and Goldstone mode effects in spin models with O(n) rotational symmetry are considered. Starting with the Goldstone mode singularities in the XY and O(4) models, we briefly review different theoretical concepts as well as state-of-the art Monte Carlo simulation results. They support recent results of the GFD (grouping of Feynman diagrams) theory, stating that these singularities are described by certain nontrivial exponents, which differ from those predicted earlier by perturbative treatments. Furthermore, we present the recent Monte Carlo simulation results of the three-dimensional Ising model for very large lattices with linear sizes up to L=1536. These results are obtained, using a parallel OpenMP implementation of the Wolff single cluster algorithm. The finite-size scaling analysis of the critical exponent eta, assuming the usually accepted correction-to-scaling exponent omega=0.8, shows that eta is likely to be somewhat larger than the value 0.0335 +/- 0.0025 of the perturbative renormalization group (RG) theory. Moreover, we have found that the actual data can be well described by different critical exponents: eta=omega=1/8 and nu=2/3, found within the GFD theory.

Corrections to scaling in the 3D Ising model are studied based on non-perturbative analytical arguments and Monte Carlo (MC) simulation data for different lattice sizes L. Analytical arguments show the existence of corrections with the exponent (gamm
a-1)/nu (approximately 0.38), the leading correction-to-scaling exponent being omega =< (gamma-1)/nu. A numerical estimation of omega from the susceptibility data within 40 =< L =< 2048 yields omega=0.25(33). It is consistent with the statement omega =< (gamma-1)/nu, as well as with the value omega = 1/8 of the GFD theory. We reconsider the MC estimation of omega from smaller lattice sizes to show that it does not lead to conclusive results, since the obtained values of omega depend on the particular method chosen. In particular, estimates ranging from omega =1.274(72) to omega=0.18(37) are obtained by four different finite-size scaling methods, using MC data for thermodynamic average quantities, as well as for partition function zeros. We discuss the influence of omega on the estimation of exponents eta and nu.
Metallic quantum critical phenomena are believed to play a key role in many strongly correlated materials, including high temperature superconductors. Theoretically, the problem of quantum criticality in the presence of a Fermi surface has proven to
be highly challenging. However, it has recently been realized that many models used to describe such systems are amenable to numerically exact solution by quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) techniques, without suffering from the fermion sign problem. In this article, we review the status of the understanding of metallic quantum criticality, and the recent progress made by QMC simulations. We focus on the cases of spin density wave and Ising nematic criticality. We describe the results obtained so far, and their implications for superconductivity, non-Fermi liquid behavior, and transport in the vicinity of metallic quantum critical points. Some of the outstanding puzzles and future directions are highlighted.
Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling analysis have been carried out to study the critical behavior in a two-dimensional system of particles with two bonding sites that, by decreasing temperature or increasing density, polymerize reversibly
into chains with discrete orientational degrees of freedom and, at the same time, undergo a continuous isotropic-nematic (IN) transition. A complete phase diagram was obtained as a function of temperature and density. The numerical results were compared with mean field (MF) and real space renormalization group (RSRG) analytical predictions about the IN transformation. While the RSRG approach supports the continuous nature of the transition, the MF solution predicts a first-order transition line and a tricritical point, at variance with the simulation results.
P.B. Chakraborty {it et al.}, Phys. Rev. B {bf 70}, 144411 (2004)) study of the LiHoF$_4$ Ising magnetic material in an external transverse magnetic field $B_x$ show a discrepancy with the experimental results, even for small $B_x$ where quantum fluc
tuations are small. This discrepancy persists asymptotically close to the classical ferromagnet to paramagnet phase transition. In this paper, we numerically reinvestigate the temperature $T$, versus transverse field phase diagram of LiHoF$_4$ in the regime of weak $B_x$. In this regime, starting from an effective low-energy spin-1/2 description of LiHoF$_4$, we apply a cumulant expansion to derive an effective temperature-dependent classical Hamiltonian that incorporates perturbatively the small quantum fluctuations in the vicinity of the classical phase transition at $B_x=0$. Via this effective classical Hamiltonian, we study the $B_x-T$ phase diagram via classical Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, we investigate the influence on the phase diagram of various effects that may be at the source of the discrepancy between the previous QMC results and the experimental ones. For example, we consider two different ways of handling the long-range dipole-dipole interactions and explore how the $B_x-T$ phase diagram is modified when using different microscopic crystal field Hamiltonians. The main conclusion of our work is that we fully reproduce the previous QMC results at small $B_x$. Unfortunately, none of the modifications to the microscopic Hamiltonian that we explore are able to provide a $B_x-T$ phase diagram compatible with the experiments in the small semi-classical $B_x$ regime.
Recently, Velazquez and Curilef have proposed a methodology to extend Monte Carlo algorithms based on canonical ensemble, which is aimed to overcome slow sampling problems associated with temperature-driven discontinuous phase transitions. We show in
this work that Monte Carlo algorithms extended with this methodology also exhibit a remarkable efficiency near a critical point. Our study is performed for the particular case of 2D four-state Potts model on the square lattice with periodic boundary conditions. This analysis reveals that the extended version of Metropolis importance sample is more efficient than the usual Swendsen-Wang and Wolff cluster algorithms. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of this methodology to improve the efficiency of MC simulations of systems that undergo any type of temperature-driven phase transition.
