In this article, we consider a model that allows one to describe critical phenomena in systems with higher powers and derivatives of order parameter. The systems considered have critical points with joint multicritical and Lifshitz-point-like properties. We assess the lower and upper critical dimensions of these systems. These calculation enable us to find the fluctuation region where the mean field theory description does not work.

The deviation effect of spinor mode from the single-mode for a spin-1 Bose gas of trapped atoms is studied beyond the mean field theory. Based on the effective Hamiltonian with nondegenerated level of the collective spin states, the splitting level of the system energy due to the deviation effect has been calculated. For the large condensates of 87 Rb and 23 Na with atom number N>105, the splitting fraction of the energy, arising from the magnetization exhibited by the trapped Bose gas, is found to have a typical order of (10-4~10-8), decreasing as N-2 for 87 Rb and increasing as -N-2 for 23 Na , respectively.

We study the effect that the heterogeneity present among the elements of an ensemble of coupled excitable neurons has on the collective response of the system to an external signal. We consider two different interaction scenarios, one in which the neurons are diffusively coupled and another in which the neurons interact via pulse-like signals. We find that the type of interaction between the neurons has a crucial role in determining the response of the system to the external modulation. We develop a mean-field theory based on an order parameter expansion that quantitatively reproduces the numerical results in the case of diffusive coupling.

In this paper, we propose to directly detect Mott lobes, i.e. the order parameter 〈a〉, describing the Mott insulator (MI) to superfluid (SF) quantum phase transition of the Bose–Hubbard (BH) model. By weakly coupling the system to an environment in the SF phase, the U(1) symmetry breaking of the system is simulated, and the order parameter can be read from the AC Josephson current between the system and the environment. The relation between the order parameter and the Josephson current is obtained from both the mean-field theory approach and an exact numerical simulation of a finite-size example. Our numerical simulations show that the profile of the order parameter read from the Josephson current is different from it predicted by the mean-field theory, but similar to it in a system whose U(1) symmetry is broken by a weak field proportional to a + a†. This proposal is feasible in optical lattices.
