Critical Casimir amplitudes for n-component φ models with O(n)-symmetry breaking quadratic boundary terms
Euclidean n-component φ theories whose Hamiltonians areO(n) symmetric except for quadratic symmetry breaking boundary terms are studied in the film geometry R×[0, L]. The boundary terms imply the Robin boundary conditions ∂nφα = c̊ (j) α φα at the boundary planes Bj=1 at z = 0 and Bj=2 at z = L. Particular attention is paid to the cases in which mj of the n variables c̊ (j) α associated with plan...
متن کاملThe Critical Behaviour of Potts Models with Symmetry Breaking Fields
The Q-state Potts model in two dimensions in the presence of external magnetic fields is studied. For general Q ≥ 3 special choices of these magnetic fields produce effective models with smaller Z(Q) symmetry (Q < Q). The phase diagram of these models and their critical behaviour are explored by conventional finite-size scaling and conformal invariance. The possibility of multicritical behavior...
متن کاملCritical coupling for chiral symmetry breaking in QCD motivated models
Hadronic physics at low energy is expected to be described by the infrared properties of quantum chromodynamics ~QCD!, whose nonperturbative character in general forces us to make use of approximate models in order to understand the strong interaction effects at a small momentum scale. One of these models became known as the global color model ~GCM! @1–3#, which is a quark-gluon quantum field t...
متن کاملCasimir Terms and Shape Instabilities for Two-Dimensional Critical Systems
We calculate the universal part of the free energy of certain finite two-dimensional regions at criticality by use of conformal field theory. Two geometries are considered: a section of a circle ("pie slice") of angle φ and a helical staircase of finite angular (and radial) extent. We derive some consequences for certain matrix elements of the transfer matrix and corner transfer matrix. We exam...
متن کاملO’Raifeartaigh models with spontaneous R-symmetry breaking
O’Raifeartaigh models with general R-charge assignments can have vacua where both supersymmetry and R-symmetry are spontaneously broken. Most of these vacua are metastable because the potential shows a runaway behaviour. We explain the relation between runaway directions and R-symmetry. PACS. 11.30.Qc -12.60.Jv
