Description
I'll discuss a Monte Carlo and analytic exploration of some simple lattice models that feature persistent order, namely that they are in an ordered phase at all temperatures. These models have BKT-like phase transitions that separate regions with spontaneous symmetry breaking and CFT phases. Understanding how to study such systems using Monte Carlo methods is a first step toward the study of certain chiral gauge theories on the lattice.
