Motivated by the mean field prediction of a Gardner phase transition between a “normal glass” and a “marginally stable glass”, we investigate the off-equilibrium dynamics, after a sudden quench in pressure from the liquid phase, of three-dimensional polydisperse hard spheres, used as a model for colloidal or granular glasses.

In this work, the effect of thin films on the orientational, thermotropic and optical properties and on the peculiarities of the nematic–isotropic liquid phase transition has been carried out. The planar textures of MBBA+EBBA eutectic mixture on the surfaces coated with Al 2 O 3 and ZrO 2 thin films have been obtained. The optical and thermodynamical parameters of the obtained, oriented textures have been determined. The effect of thin films on the temperature width of heterophase region and on the nematic–isotropic liquid phase transition temperatures has been investigated. The shift of the phase transition temperatures and the change of the temperature width of the heterophase region have been revealed. For the analysis of peculiarities of the nematic–isotropic liquid phase transition and the heterophase regions of this transition, the mean field theory has been used.

A system of interacting relativistic bosons at finite temperatures and isospin densities is studied within the framework of the Skyrme­like mean­field model. The mean field contains both attractive and repulsive terms. The consideration is taken within the framework of the Canonical Ensemble and the isospin­density dependencies of thermodynamic quantities is obtained, in particular as the phase diagrams. It is shown that in such a system, in addition to the formation of a Bose­Einstein condensate, a liquid­gas phase transition is possible. We prove that the multi­boson system develops the Bose condensate for particles of high­density component only.

The phase transitions described by coupled spin -1/2 Ising models are investigated with the help of the mean field and the renormalization group theories. Results for the type of possible phase transitions and their fluctuation properties are presented. A fluctuation-induced second-order phase transition is predicted.

Spin-glass and chiral-glass orderings of a three-dimensional isotropic Heisenberg spin glass are studied both by equilibrium and off-equilibrium Monte Carlo simulations with emphasis on their dynamical aspects. The model is found to exhibit a finite-temperature chiral-glass transition without the conventional spin-glass order. Although chirality is an Ising-like quantity from symmetry, universality class of the chiral-glass transition appears to be different from that of the standard Ising spin glass. In the off-equilibrium simulation, while the spin autocorrelation exhibits only an interrupted aging, the chirality autocorrelation persists to exhibit a pronounced aging effect reminiscent of the one observered in the mean-field model.
