Exotic phases of interacting Majorana fermions and parafermions

<p>In this thesis exotic phases of models preserving the symmetries of the one-dimensional quantum Ising and three-state Potts chains are considered, the natural habitats of Majorana fermions and parafermions, respectively. Along with numerical techniques, conformal field theory (CFT) is used...
