Nonlinear sigma model description of deconfined quantum criticality in arbitrary dimensions by Da-Chuan Lu

“…In this paper, we propose using the nonlinear sigma model (NLSM) with the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) term as a general description of deconfined quantum critical points that separate two spontaneously symmetry-breaking (SSB) phases in arbitrary dimensions. …”

Full correspondence between asymmetric filling of slits and first-order phase transition lines by Leszek Szybisz, Salvador A. Sartarelli

“…It is found that whenever for a given Xe-substrate combination the adsorption on a single wall exhibits a first-order wetting transition then asymmetric profiles that break the left-right symmetry of the external potential appear in the filling of an equivalent slit. These spontaneously symmetry breaking (SSB) solutions occur in a restricted range of Γℓ with a T-dependent width. …”
