A study of quantum Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless transition for parity-time symmetric quantum criticality

Abstract The Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless (BKT) mechanism governs the critical behavior of a wide range of many-body systems. We show here that this phenomenon is not restricted to conventional many body system but also for the strongly correlated parity-time (PT) symmetry quantum criticality. We...
