We discuss the phase structure of a lattice Higgs-Yukawa system in the variational mean field approximation with contributions of fermionic determinant being calculated in a ladder approximation. In particular, we demonstrate that in this approximation the ferromagnetic phase in the Z2 model with naive fermions can appear as an artifact of a finite lattice and that the phase diagram for this model on infinite lattice changes qualitatively at space-time dimension D = 4 compared with those at D > 4.

The SU(3) Polyakov linear-sigma model (PLSM) in mean-field approximation is utilized in analyzing the chiral condensates [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and the deconfinement order parameters [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], at finite isospin asymmetry. The bulk thermodynamics including pressure density, interaction measure, susceptibility and second-order correlations with baryon, strange and electric charge quantum numbers are studied in thermal and dense medium. The PLSM results are confronted to the available lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) calculations. The excellent agreement obtained strengthens the reliability of fixing the PLSM parameters and therefore supports further predictions even beyond the scope of the lattice QCD numerical applicability. From the QCD phase structure at finite isospin chemical potential [Formula: see text], we find that the pseudocritical temperatures decrease with the increase in [Formula: see text]. We conclude that the QCD phase structure in [Formula: see text] plane seems to extend the one in [Formula: see text] plane.

A model for the description of two-subsystem Heisenberg ferrimagnet with frustrated intersubsystem exchange and competition between exchange interactions in a subsystem is proposed. The conditions of the existence of noncollinear Yafet-Kittel state and partially ordered magnetic structure are investigated. The phase diagram of competition parameter vs temperature is obtained in the mean field approximation. The peculiarities of the succesive magnetic phase transitions are considered.

Asymmetric exclusion processes (ASEP) on lattices with a junction, in which two or more parallel lattice branches combine into a single one, is important as a model for complex transport phenomena. This paper investigates the effect of unequal injection rates in ASEP with a junction. It is a generalization of the work of Pronina and Kolomeisky [J. Stat. Mech. P07010 (2005)], in which only equal injection rates are considered. It is shown that the unequal rates give rise to new phases and the phase diagram structure is qualitatively changed. The phase diagram and the density profiles are investigated by using Monte Carlo simulations, mean field approximation and domain wall approach. The analytical results are in good agreement with Monte Carlo simulations.

A generalized Landau free energy for a complex order parameter expanded up to sixth-order is investigated using group theoretical arguments and the mean-field approximation. Results for the phase transitions that occur are presented. The phase diagram for all allowed values of the expansion coefficients is constructed with an emphasis placed on the influence of the anisotropy in the order parameter space. The results can be used in discussions of unconventional superconductors and modulated structural and magnetic orderings.

This thesis explores the phase diagrams of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) and quark-meson (QM) model in the mean-field approximation and beyond. The focus lies in the investigation of the interplay between inhomogeneous chiral condensates and two-flavor color superconductivity. In the first part of this thesis, we study the NJL model with 2SC diquarks in the mean-field approximation and determine the dispersion relations for quasiparticle excitations for generic spatial modulations of the chiral condensate in the presence of a homogeneous 2SC-diquark condensate, provided that the dispersion relations in the absence of color superconductivity are known. We then compare two different Ansätze for the chiral order parameter, the chiral density wave (CDW) and the real-kink crystal (RKC). For both Ansätze we find for specific diquark couplings a so-called coexistence phase where both the inhomogeneous chiral condensate and the diquark condensate coexist. Increasing the diquark coupling disfavors the coexistence phase in favor of a pure diquark phase. On the other hand, decreasing the diquark coupling favors the inhomogeneous phase over the coexistence phase. In the second part of this thesis the functional renormalization group is employed to study the phase diagram of the quark-meson-diquark model. We observe that the region of the phase diagram found in previous studies, where the entropy density takes on unphysical negative values, vanishes when including diquark degrees of freedom. Furthermore, we perform a stability analysis of the homogeneous phase and compare the results with those of previous studies. We find that an increasing diquark coupling leads to a smaller region of instability as the 2SC phase extends to a smaller chemical potential. We also find a region where simultaneously an instability occurs and a non-vanishing diquark condensate forms, which is an indication of the existence of a coexistence phase in accordance with the results of the first part of this work.

We theoretically investigate the fcc(110) surfaces with missing row reconstructions induced by adatoms using the Blume–Emmery–Griffith (BEG) model. In the model, Kij is introduced to denote interactions between surface atoms and Jij to describe interactions between dipoles. The investigation by the mean field approximation has predicted that there appear modulated phases on the surfaces as the next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) and the nearest-neighbor (NN) interactions along the [001] direction become competitive. In this study, Monte Carlo simulations are performed to confirm the prediction. A correlation function defined by concentration operators in wave vector q space is calculated. The results show that the concentration modulations appear. The temperature versus the ratio of the NNN interaction K2 to the NN interaction K1 phase diagram is obtained. The possible features of the modulated phases in experiments are discussed.

We study totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) where particles move on a single-chain lattice which diverges into two parallel lattice branches. At the branching point, the particles move to one of the two branches with equal rate r/2. The phase diagram and density profiles are investigated by using mean-field approximation and Monte Carlo simulations. It is found that the phase diagram can be classified into three regions at any value of r. However, a threshold [Formula: see text] is identified. In cases of r > rc and r < rc, the phase diagram exhibits qualitatively different phases. The analytical results are in good agreement with the results of Monte Carlo simulations.
