Course 1: Nonequilibrium Phase Transitions
Nonequilibrium phase transitions are discussed with emphasis on general features such as the role of detailed balance violation in generating...

Phase Transitions Under High Pressures
The compression of solids causes changes in most of the properties of materials—any abrupt changes (including of symmetry) being indicators of phase...

Quantum Phase Transitions
Currently, quantum phase transition is an active research topic that covers different fields of physics, from condensed mater physics, atomic physics...

Limitations of entanglement entropy in detecting thermal phase transitions
We explore the efficacy of entanglement entropy as a tool for detecting thermal phase transitions in a family of gauge theories described...

Perturbative effective field theory expansions for cosmological phase transitions
Guided by previous non-perturbative lattice simulations of a two-step electroweak phase transition, we reformulate the perturbative analysis of...

Theoretical Aspects of Phase Transitions in Ferroelectric Thin Films
Phase transitions in ferroelectric thin films are discussed theoretically on the basis of the Tilley–Zeks model for the case where the transition is...

Cosmological phase transitions in composite Higgs models
We investigate cosmological phase transitions in various composite Higgs models consisting of four-dimensional asymptotically-free gauge field...

Scalar CFTs from Structural Phase Transitions
We discuss scalar conformal field theories (CFTs) that can be realized in structural phase transitions. The Landau condition and Lifshitz condition...

Thermodynamic and dynamical predictions for bifurcations and non-equilibrium phase transitions
“Critical transitions”, in which systems switch abruptly from one state to another are ubiquitous in physical and biological systems. Such critical...

Topological phase transitions of generalized Brillouin zone
It has been known that the bulk-boundary correspondence (BBC) of the non-Hermitian skin effect is characterized by the topology of the complex...

Gravitational waves from supercooled phase transitions: dimensional transmutation meets dimensional reduction
Models with radiative symmetry breaking typically feature strongly supercooled first-order phase transitions, which result in an observable...

Phase Transitions and Decision Making
In this chapter we consider a simple model of interacting agents considering a binary question, asked to reply “yes” or "not" to the question. The...

First-order phase transitions in Twin Higgs models
We revisit phase transitions in Twin Higgs (TH) models. We show that strong first-order phase transitions (FOPTs) can occur provided that appropriate...

Calorimetric, optical and dielectric measurements on two Schiff’s based liquid crystalline materials exhibiting multiple phase transitions
We report high-resolution calorimetric, optical and dielectric studies on two Schiff’s based liquid crystalline materials, 4O.5 and 5O.5, which...

Holographic CFT phase transitions and criticality for rotating AdS black holes
Employing the novel exact dictionary between the laws of extended black hole thermodynamics and the laws of the dual CFT, we study the extended...

Primordial black holes from slow phase transitions: a model-building perspective
We investigate the formation of primordial black holes (PBHs) through delayed vacuum decay during slow cosmic first-order phase transitions. Two...

Electric-field driven nonequilibrium phase transitions in AdS/CFT
We study phase transitions and critical phenomena in nonequilibrium steady states controlled by an electric field. We employ the D3/D7 model in the...
